In Home Family Session | Yuma Family Photographer

This was my second session with this family and my first repeat client! For a new small business owner that is a pretty cool moment. I'm so excited to watch this awesome little girl grow up and I feel lucky as heck to have families like this as clients. In this session dad wanted to capture the time he spends with his little girl sharing his love of music. She loved showing off her skills! Check out the one where she so sweetly hands dad his guitar pick after he dropped it. Oh my gosh, my heart just melted.

Desert Family Session | Yuma Family Photographer

Our town of Yuma, Arizona sits in the middle of the desert. There's a lot of dirt and rocks and not a lot of vegetation. Some say it's not very pretty but this session will prove them wrong. Our beautiful Yuma desert was the perfect setting for the gorgeous Harrison family. The harshness of the rocks gave a lovely contrast to the softness of their affection and colors in the sunset gave us an incredible backdrop. And when their little boy showed up with a slingshot I knew we were in for a good time! The kiddos practiced their slingshot skills, climbed some mountains, and snuggled with mom and dad. It's important to me that families feel like their time with me is a fun family event, not a photo session. The understated beauty of the Yuma desert is perfect for a family photo session.

Published! | Yuma Photographer

I am an artist and one of my favorite subjects to photograph is women. I create art that shows what it feels like to be a woman, as I feel it. When I'm photographing a woman, her story becomes entangled in mine and the final image is a portrait of my soul and hers. 

My goal for 2017 was to get published in print. In September I was thrilled to achieve my goal by having one of my images selected to be in Dear Photographer magazine! I was included in the "Emotive Collection" which is a huge compliment for me. The chosen photograph was from a session with a lovely young woman that I admire very much. She's smart, talented, and kind of a badass to be honest! This image evokes the exhaustion that life can bring. Her story is her own to tell, but for me there are times that kids, work, household responsibilities, and all the other relationships I want to nurture can wear me out. At times like that I feel depleted. I know you've been there. Even during those times I marvel at the beauty of this life.
