Wow, it has been a very long time since I have blogged!  Does anyone even look at blogs anymore.  I had the privilege of doing a post wedding shoot with Lauren and Will at Horseshoe Bend this past December.  I love how all the images came out so much that I had to blog them.  Horseshoe Bend was one of the locations on my bucket list for a post wedding shoot.  A  huge thank you to Lauren and Will, the lovely newlyweds for agreeing to this adventurous location.  They were married this past November 21, 2020 so what a better way to spend your one month of marriage then driving 4 hours north to Horseshoe Bend to spend about two hours taking pictures then driving 4 hours back to Phoenix.  Was it worth it, YES!!  At first when we arrived to said location I was a little discouraged because of all the people.  When you go to Horseshoe Bend there is a designated area that feels like the main spot to look out over the center of the bend.  I noticed off to the side there were hardly any people so I decided to go check it out.  I discovered that even off to the side you still feel like you are looking out towards the center of the bend and the sun position was Perfect!!  Lauren was such a trooper, who knew she had a fear of heights. Again huge Shout out, THANK YOU to Lauren and Will for making my photography dreams come true.  As you know with the covid-19 pandemic Weddings have been limited, I have not been able to shoot hardly any weddings, which made this day even better!!  I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed photographing them.

Ahh Stella

Image
When you get an email from the sister of a past pride asking if you could take pictures of her 6 month old baby girl, you say sure! When she ask you if you can meet at her sister-in-laws house to take the picture because she has a "fun house" you reply yes. Then you show up and see this beautiful baby girl and this incredibly decorated shabby chic house, you burst with excitement inside.. That is just what happened. Elaine emailed me to see if I could take pictures of Stella and asked if we could meet at her sister-in-laws house. Well, you can see for yourself that Stella is beautiful and the house was a photographer's dream. Elaine had all her own idea's for Miss Stella. We had so much fun and Stella was a trooper to say the least. I loved how Stella would smile at her mommy over and over again. She is truly a happy baby. This shoot inspired me to convert some of my office into a studio. I called my friend Nancy after the shoot and was blabbing away on how much fun

Is it 5 or 15 Minutes of Fame?

Image
I want to say I am experiencing my 15 minutes of fame, since I had my 5 when I was 12. Stephanie help me out, what was the name of the talk show your mom took us to the tapping of in which I got to ask a question? This took place in 1979, we were in sixth grade. Teen Beat I think? I was selected to ask a question, in which now I can't remember if it was to Lief Garrett and I am thinking the host was Kristy McNichol, aggg... Anyway when the episode aired on TV I was to embarrassed to watch myself. Da I wish I would have!! On to my recent fame, I was asked to shoot the cover of the Arizona Bridal Source Guide this past spring for Kim Horn and it is out and about. This fame will last longer then 5 minutes since it will be available for the next 6 months. I am so very excited and am happy with how it turned out. It was a great and nerve racking experience! You can pick up a copy at several bridal shops around town and it will also be given out this weekend at the big bridal show at t
