Camille & Preston Sneak Peek (Safford Wedding)

This awesome couple has quite the story! They go way back to around 1998 or so. Back then Camille only knew Preston as one of her brothers friends, but over the years, between Camille setting up Preston with her best friend (who knew she was setting him up with the wrong girl?!), Camille moving to Cali, Preston living in New Zealand and Australia, then finally somewhere around the end of 2004 they both ended up back in Safford where they started dating and now here they are 5 and a half years later, happily married and totally awesome!

Camille made my job feel very little like a job. Her and Preston were both so laid back. Camille even got someone else's shipment of flowers (including purple, green, and yellow- none of which were in her color pallet) and was hardly upset by it. Did I mention everyone started clean up just in time for a massive storm to hit? It poured like I didn't know it could pour in Arizona. 
Thanks Camille & Preston for the opportunity to get to know you better and record this special day as you start your new life together! Best wishes for your future! :)





































She had such a cool ring! I have never seen one like it!






































Great colors (peach, coral, etc.) and perfect shoes!






















 I try to do a good mix of color and b&w photos on my blog posts but I am loving the b&ws!



































































Such a great couple! Thank you guys again for choosing me and I wish you every happiness in the days to come!

The Best Model (professional head shots)

I had the fantastic opportunity this last Friday to do some head shots for a friend of mine. Why was this opportunity so fantastic? Well the subject of course! :) Her name in my phone book is "Keri AWESOME Lastname." (Does that not tell you how amazing she is?)
I know Keri through church and ever since we met I have loved her. She is the best model in all ways! Not only is she beautiful and fun to take pictures of, but she is beautiful on the inside too. She is such a strong person and so much fun. I have seen her go through a tough situation or two and take it all in stride with a smile on. When you feel like you should be comforting her, there she is speaking words of wisdom! Telling me things I have been just learning myself or even just trying to find the words for. On top of that she works for the Make-A-Wish Foundation helping kids' dreams come true!

Here are a few from our session. I promise I took lots of good professional looking head shots, but then we played!



































 































































































Keri, you are amazing! Thank you so much for choosing me and giving me this opportunity to show everyone how fantastic you are. Thanks for the ice cream too, but most of all thanks for the friendship and being my RS buddy!

Baby Zoey

My cousin just had her little girl last Friday (I believe). She is so tiny and sweet!






This one is my favorite.  ^


Sweet moment with big sister.


I love that you can see a little smile on her face in this one.
