Fun Engagement Shoot in Flagstaff

Jeremy and Vanessa truly met on a blind date! To make it even better it was on Valentines Day! Jeremy's cousin's fiance set them up. This was her first time at match making. When I say truly a blind date, they did not talk, text, email before the date. Jeremy went into it without even knowing how incredible beautiful Vanessa was!! I'd say someone has some good match up skills for Jeremy and Vanessa have been together ever since and will say "I do" on the beach in San Diego in October.
Jeremy and Vanessa wanted to do their engagement pictures up north, hopefully with some wildflowers. Well the only flowers we could find wild or not were at NAU campus. Which was just fine for these two alumni's from NAU!!
When talking about taking pictures in Flagstaff I had a few ideas of my own. My family spends a lot of time up north and I knew of this old abandoned grocery store and suggested we stop there.. Every time I would drive past it I would think that I would love to photograph a couple there.
Since I carpooled with Jeremy and Vanessa for a bit during our photo shoot I was able to witness how very sweet to each other they are. So respectful and kind. I herd Jeremy say to Vanessa "you are so beautiful" aww melt my heart!! I am so looking forward to their wedding!!

Wow, you definitely took advantage of all Flag has to offer! I love the shot of them in front of the wall with the mural. Don't think you did enough outfit changes though-- just kiddin'!

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...

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 ...

 My first wedding of 2014 was with Nicole and Chad at Encanto Park Clubhouse.  This wedding was so sweet with fabulous details.  I mean really fabulous details, from the location, to the bridesmaids attire and reception details.  If you follow my blog regularly you know I usually do not post to many detail shots, I always photograph them, I just do not post them.  For this post I am posting more then average because they were just so fun.  Thank you so much Nicole and Chad for allowing me to capture your sweet wedding.  It was such a great way to start 2014.
