Tis the Season - {Mesa, AZ Family Photgrapher}

It's almost Christmas day and I am simply so happy that we were able to get this wonderful family's photos taken last weekend.  Amidst Christmas parties and the hustle and bustle of the holiday season we managed to sneak away down to the river for some absolutely stunning photos.

These kids were all about the pictures and each and every one of their personalities is evident in these pics.

I have been so blessed to meet such amazing people over the past few months.  I love that my community and "circle of friends" has grown.  It truly is wonderful and this couple and family is no exception.

Thank you R family for coming out to my neck of the woods for your family photos.  Merry Christmas and have a wonderfully happy New Year!

Family.....- {AZ Family Photographer}

.........is truly the most blessed of things.  To be part of a family is so special and a gift worth capturing.

I met the Momma of this amazing family through the running group that I am connected with out here and cannot even begin to tell you how thrilled I was to be asked to catch these images.

Like many people its been a long time since they did family photos and this year they decided to rectify that and I LOVE the results.  There is so much love in this family.

We really had a lovely time in between rain storms taking pictures.  All of the kids were only too willing to do just about anything I asked and the smiles were all so genuine and fun.

There is something really special to me about a Mom and her daughter.  Maybe its because I have 2 girls, but I treasure my relationship with my Mom and love to see it in other families.  

So a little back story about these next pictures.  Towards the end of our shoot all of the kids kept telling me, "Get them kissing!!! Get a kissing one!!"  I had such a giggle because I LOVE when parents are so in love with each other that their kids aren't afraid to ask them to show it.  

N Family, thank you for choosing me for these pictures.  I pray you enjoy them and treasure them!

I Have Found the One- {AZ Wedding Photographer in Denver, CO}

Weddings are always such a joyous and fun celebration.  I truly love photographing the day 2 people commit their lives to one another.  This wedding was such a fun, sweet and special wedding.  This young couple has found that lifetime love and were simply so excited to become man and wife.

The setting was truly a special place because it was the church that I grew up in.  I cannot tell you how delightful it was to get to capture it through the camera.  It was a special day for me too.

The ladies of the wedding party are all sisters...YES....all sisters.  How amazing to be surrounded by the girls that know you the best.

Everything about this wedding was a family affair.  From the decorations to the food, all was prepped and made possible with the help of family and that truly exquisite person....Mom.

 

You see, the bride saw her ceremony site and reception site for the first time a mere 2 hours before she got married.  Her family surprised her....and she was delighted.

Thank you Molly and David for letting me be the one to hold these memories.  I am so blessed that you trusted me with your big day.  Enjoy remembering every little moment.
