Dan and Stephanie got Married!! I was so looking forward to their wedding. I fell in love with them while doing their engagement pictures. Such a grounded, smart and adorable couple.... They were married at the Hilton Scottsdale on November 14, 2008. It was a beautiful wedding. Everyone had a great time. I was lucky enough to have my friend Tracy Kreck come with me to shoot. She got some great images. I wish Dan and Stephanie many, many years of happiness..

I love to read and this summer I stumbled upon the Twilight series. I started reading them (there are four books to the series) while on vacation in Hawaii. Within minutes of reading I was hooked. Like I said I love to read and it has been a long time since I've enjoyed a book so much!! Not only did I love the books so did my boys Miguel and Morgan. I highly recommend reading the Twilight series and then go see the movie ... Yes the movie is out in theaters now. Brian and I took Miguel and Morgan to the midnight showing of it this past Thursday. I loved it... I felt that they did a great job with casting the roles. The gal that played Alice was perfect, don't you think? O.K. the one thing that could have been done better was the makeup, it did seem to get better towards the end of the movie. Hey did you know that Peter Facinelli ~ Dr Carlisle Cullen is Jennie Garths husband...

So I know Lynette because she is Lyrics older sister, well she wanted to do some fun family pictures. Her original idea was a retro fifties feel, but she was out voted by her children. Lynette had another idea of her family being dressed up in a odd setting, like a farm. Well it just so happens that they have a family friend who lives on a farm. They from feeding the chickens to climbing in the barn and feeding the horse. What a great idea Lynette...

Jason and Latreece were married on November 9 at the Orange Tree Golf Resort in Scottsdale. Despite the threatening chance of rain the wedding was beautiful. Latreece's dad played the piano and sang a song for them during the ceremony, it was very touching. Latreece is so elegant and Jason such a gentlemen, no wonder they have such an adorable little man!! Latreece's Bling! On her way! I love this shot. What a beautiful family.

I love the story of how Chris and Alicia met, on New Years Eve in Las Vegas, you can read about them on my engagement page on my website. They were married this past November 1st at twilight. It was a beautiful ceremony with Hawaiian music and beautiful flowers. Alicia was so calm, things got a little disorganized around her and she didn't even break a sweat. "This is how I roll" is what Alicia said! She is so sweet... Chris had a surprise gift for Alicia, he had Alicia's mom give it to her while she was getting ready. The beautiful necklace she is wearing is what Chris gave to her. What a sweet man!! Together they are perfect. Alicia's mother did all the flowers for the wedding, in which turned out breathtaking. During the reception Alicia sang Chris a love song, who knew? Beautiful and talented. I wish them a thousand years of happiness!
