A Personal Post on Capturing Senior Portraits, Spring 2026
It’s almost June 1st, and I’m taking this early Saturday morning to soak in the memories of the first five months of 2026. If I really think about it, I’m still processing this past December. From celebrating my niece’s first birthday on Christmas Eve and catching The Nutcracker performed at the Mesa Arts Center, something…

The Brown’s / A personal post.
Looking back at the photos, I can’t help but think how nicely this post came out! Especially after feeling like I didn’t get enough shots of my sisters wedding. To be frank, I was not the hired photographer, although we joked about making it happen. Who was the person who convinced us that was a…

A Look Back – Graduation Portraits
Graduation is a time of growth and advance, your accomplishments, and the finish line you’ve just crossed. That’s a feeling I can relate to when I think back to my personal graduation experiences. From high school, throughout college, I remember graduation to be a celebration of any sort. You finished something you started – yay.…

Giuliana Frye, ASU Graduation Portraits
I met Giuliana at work … I’m her boss, as she would call me. We met at my families restaurant (my ‘other’ job) and we’ve had an instant connection since day one. It’s probably because we both hold an international passport (we joke). Our friendship can be compared to the one Samantha holds with Carrie,…

Brandi came to me describing what she was envisioning for her pictures; a wedding dress, saying goodbye to the past, and moving forward. I knew this was the photoshoot I was looking for in order to work on my creative side. Location: Superstition Mountains, Arizona.
