Arizona Photographer

07/23/2026

Seven years ago I photographed my very first family session, never imagining I’d get to do this hundreds of times over.

Every fall, so many of you invite me back to capture another season of your family’s story. I don’t take that for granted.

Thank you for trusting me with these memories and for supporting my little business year after year. 🤍

Fall Minis open Friday, July 24 at 9:00am.

I can’t wait to see you this fall. 🍂

The Owensby family’s first Arizona summer looked a little like magic 🌵💕

Last August, we explored Lost Dutchman together as the desert turned soft and golden around us, documenting this sweet season for their family after moving to Arizona. The girls were full of wonder and curiosity, and the entire evening just felt slow, tender, and full of connection in the best way.

These are always my favorite kinds of sessions, the ones that aren’t overly posed or rushed, but filled with the little moments that matter most years from now. Tiny hand holds, cuddles between sisters, soft smiles, parents loving on their babies, and all the in-between moments that tell the real story of a family. Arizona sunsets and sweet families will forever have my heart! 🥰

Some Arizona sunsets don’t even look real ☁️💗

The Damman family traveled all the way from Ohio this spring, and I had the sweetest evening wandering through Usery with them while the sky turned the dreamiest shades of cotton candy. Watching Abraham and little Eli together was so special, the way brothers love each other in the smallest, quietest ways always gets me. Tender smiles, hand holding, giggles, and the kind of connection you can truly feel.

Chad and Jamie are raising such beautiful boys, and this session was filled with so much warmth, gentleness, and joy from beginning to end. So thankful I got to preserve these memories for them during their Arizona adventure 🌵

Zoe 🎓✨

There’s something so special about a senior session that feels like you… and Zoe’s was exactly that.

From the soft, beautiful light to the sweetest personal touch, her Anne of Green Gables book, every detail felt timeless, thoughtful, and full of heart.

Her gallery is truly stunning, and it was such a joy capturing this season before she heads off to ASU this fall (so exciting!!).

Lynette, thank you for trusting me with such a meaningful milestone 💛

Some moments just stay with you.

One of my favorite images of 2024 is this one of Ainsley (slide 3 + 4)—full sprint, wild joy, heart wide open. We had our first session when she was just 18 months old, and now four years and four sessions later, it’s such a gift to see her step into each new season with the same spark. Watching kids grow more comfortable, more free in front of my lens is one of my favorite parts of this work.

This summer, I’ve been intentionally slowing down—reconnecting with my craft by first capturing the beauty unfolding in my own home. We’ve flown to different states, swam for hours, stayed up late with sleepovers and sweet friends, read/discussed books, and embraced the slow and the sacred in between.

I’m still waiting on my daughter’s dance schedule (because dance life runs on surprises 💃), but I hope to release Fall Mini Sessions in the next couple weeks!

For now, I’m savoring the growth, the stories, and the everyday wonder.

I’ve been a little quiet here this past week—thank you so much to my amazing clients for your patience while I stepped away. Our daughter competed at dance nationals and her team placed 2nd in the Grand Finale! It was a beautiful, emotional week surrounded by family, full of joy, tears, and moments I’ll treasure forever. 💛

This time away reminded me why I’m so passionate about photographing families—because these seasons pass quickly, and they’re worth holding onto. Not just the milestones, but the love, the connection, the in-between.

I still can’t get over how the desert light danced around the Benson family at Lost Dutchman—every giggle between siblings, every proud glance from Alexa as she watched her little ones play. As a mom myself, my heart swells seeing these moments frozen in time, reminding me how precious and fleeting childhood truly is. I’m so grateful for the chance to capture your story, Benson crew—you’ve blessed me more than you know. ✨❤️

Swipe to feel their joy, their love, and the desert’s gentle embrace.

Sometimes, rescheduling is the best decision—Monday’s cold winds couldn’t compete with yesterday’s golden sun, and I’m so glad we waited! Capturing this beautiful, loving family as they prepare to welcome their newest addition in May was pure joy. Their sweet girls are not only stunning but also taught me some fun Spanish words—like helado (ice cream) and cosquillas (tickle)! There was no shortage of giggles, cuddles, and sweet sister moments.

Motherhood, family, and the anticipation of new life—it’s what makes these moments so special. Can’t wait to share more from this session!
