Laura & Tim: Married!!!

Laura spotted Tim a few years back at a popular hang-out. She squealed to her girlfriends in the restaurant bathroom about how cute he was. Unbeknownst to her, Tim's friend was in the same bathroom and overheard the giggly girl talk. Later that night, Tim approached Laura...their first date was an afternoon hike, and years later Tim got down on one knee, atop the same mountain and asked Laura to be his wife. They married on the dock at Layton Lakes in Gilbert. During the ceremony, the dark rain clouds separated and the sun glistened on the water. It was perfection! Laura and Tim, you both light up when you're in each other’s arms. I am honored you chose me to document your beautiful day. Everything fell into place perfectly. I laughed and cried; and felt like I was a part of your family - Thank you. Congratulations on your new life together! Warning: Before you proceed to view these images, you should sit down. Seriously. This couple is beyond gorgeous!

The Labinjo Family!!!

The Labinjo family chose these stunning lush green locations and I fell in love!! The weather was perfection. I am so used to photographing urban, modern locations; this was a pleasant change of scenery. (Literally)
By now you should know I'm a sucker for hair accessories so these girls immediately stole my heart with their gorgeous curls and flower pins. Marley is a doll. Such a girlie girl - she quietly asked me if I had daughters. I replied No. She looked at me confused. I wanted to hug her tightly and say - I know, girl. I need one. ;) She then suggested that I should baby sit her someday...and later that afternoon reminded me that I could visit her any time. LOVE her. M.J. is the complete opposite - humorous, confident and HOW DARE YOU MENTION PRINCESSES??? She probably knows more about sports than my husband. Maybe. I had a blast with this family.

Brandy and Ed, Thank you for letting me photograph your beautiful family.

Amber + Garrett = Baby Bump!

Here is my beautiful cousin Amber (with child) and her hubby!!! We are all patiently awaiting her arrival...It has been several years since our family has had a new baby girl to doll up. I am going to be a headband-making machine!!! My camera is dying to photograph a baby girl. :)

Amber and Garrett, I hope you enjoy these images. I had so much fun photographing you. You both look amazing!
