kyle + lisa : engagements

I have had the BEST clients! Kyle and Lisa are a photographers dream! They were so fun and easy to photograph! I am going back to Phoenix for their bridals and wedding in a couple weeks!

I took this picture as a joke, but I loved how it came out! They might kill me for posting it, but it totally imbodies  how cute they are together. =)

One of my favorites from the day:

Carl and Melanie

We made it to San Diego!!! I am playing catch up on my work and especially blogging!! I did engagement pictures for Carl and Melanie a couple weeks ago. They were so fun and open to all of my crazy ideas!

her ring is amazing!!

They met in an airport! How cute is that! So we headed over to Williams Gateway for some pics that would be sentimental for them! 

moving!!

So I haven't been blogging lately, and I need to be because I have so many shoots that need some blog love! I have a good excuse for the absence though.......we are MOVING!!!! We are going back to San Diego. My husband was offered a great job with lots of opportunities for advancement. He has loved working at his job here, but it will be great to be around family and good friends again. ( San Diego is where I was raised, where I met/ fell in love with and married my husband and where are story began.)

I want to thank everyone for all for your wonderful support. It has been a blessing to build my business in Arizona. I have had some amazing clients and made some great photographer friends along the way. I LOVE what I do, and will continue to do it in California. =)

There is a huge list of things I will miss here in Phoenix, but we are excited about what the future holds for us in San Diego.

even more...

Paige and Ben just got married a little bit ago so they are still in the puppy love newlywed phase. Which made for some great pictures! They were so cute together.

I literally only took these two pictures of Lauren and I loved them both!

I have become friends with some amazing photographers here in Arizona. We have so much fun getting together and doing themed shoots, just for fun. We just did my dream shoot on Thursday! The theme was "All American". I had a blast with my friends and the models were so much fun to shoot. I have sooo many pictures to share, so I am going to break up the posts.

First up is Michelle and Dave! They looked so great together!:

Urban Grunge!

As photographers we like to have fun and do different types of shoots - just for fun! My good friend Tara Keator, came up with this awesome idea for a shoot! She set up the whole thing, and this shoot was AMAZING!! By far my FAVORITE shoot I have ever had the opportunity to participate in! Thanks again Tara, I had a BLAST!!! =)
