Jammin’ Jivin’ Jordan!

March 14, 2015 Jammin’ and Jivin’ are only TWO words I would used to describe soon-to-graduate, Jordan.  Energetic, fun-loving and photogenic, this pretty young woman is also one of the most talented young vocalists I’ve had the privilege of knowing.  Jordan wanted her shoot to be on her 18th birthday and to be taken on …

Diminutive Dominique

February 7, 2015 Dominique is a tiny-little petite powerhouse of a girl–athletic and vivacious with an incredible smile!  Her grandparents are friends of mine and they had hired me on previous occasions, so I was delighted when they asked me if I would capture Dominique’s Class of 2015 Senior portraits.  Dominique, along with her grandmother, …

Sonoran Snow 2015

Sparkling snow at sunrise with metallic colors glistening as the sun began to stream through snow-covered Palo Verde trees. I captured some the best images ever of snowy cacti, trees and landscapes. Some of these images have become best-selling notecards and canvas prints. Some have made it into the Arizona Highways Friday Fotos as well. …

Best Buds

July 13, 2013 I thought it was clever ~ the name of this post, that is.  A collection of some of my best (and favorite) images of floral buds.  Originally uploaded to my website in 2010, I’ve taken out some of the photos and inserted some new, fabulous ones that I hope you will enjoy …

Sonoran Snow

June 29, 2013 I’ve been saving this post for a few months now (five actually), waiting for when it was so hot, a few ‘cool’ pics would be welcomed.   Back in February, there were a plethora of posts with photos of our big Tucson snow storm (it snowed twice in the same day–unheard of).  I …

Jonny and Kamille: New Mexico Mountain Wedding Portraits

Ashley & Alex Engagement: Beauty and the Brit

May 24, 2013 Downtown Tucson–colorful and historical with an almost never-ending supply of backgrounds and backdrops, Downtown Tucson is one of my favorite places to shoot portraits, even at 6am on a warm May morning.  Looks include barrio, urban, southwest, native American, modern and even a hint of small-town mid-America with the gazebo and green …

Apryl & Alex Wedding: East Texas in the Winter

January 26, 2013 The wedding day in Longview, Texas dawned cold and rainy …. ugh.  Having said that, most photographers would rather have an overcast day for outdoor shooting than bright sun, especially since the wedding was slated to start at 1:30 and I had the “First Look” session at around 10am.  We dodged raindrops …
