Danyel and John's Fabulous Sedona Engagement Shoot

 I had so much fun with Danyel and John in Sedona.  My last engagement shoot of 2016.  As you know winter is off to a good start in AZ with snow and rain which made for muddy conditions in Sedona.  Danyel and John were troopers, jumping across the stream, walking across a tree to get to the other side of the creek, walking in flowing mud and laying down in damp fall leaves.  Anything I asked them to do they did which made for beautiful engagement pictures!  I've established how easy going and fun they are and as you can see what a beautiful couple they make.  I need to mention how intelligent they both are! I really enjoyed talking to them about their education and their goals for the future.  Super excited for Danyel and john and with the future holds for them together.

 John and Danyel met their Junior year of high school at Liberty (August 2010) through the National Honor Society. One of their mutual friends introduced them at the Parent-Teacher night. They had a few classes together, but didn't talk much. In December 2011, John and Danyel's friendship turned into talking everyday along with Danyel giving him rides home, because John's car had some damage from an accident. They started dating later that month. They both went to ASU for their undergraduate degrees. Although they were on two different campuses, they dated all throughout college and graduated in May 2016. John surprised Danyel and proposed to her the day before he moved to Cleveland to begin his Master's degree at Case Western Reserve University, while Danyel remains here in AZ to get hers at ASU (that intelligent thing I was talking about).  They spent August 9, 2016 in Sedona hiking, going through Oak Creek Canyon, and eating dinner. Knowing Danyel loves sunsets, John had her look up and choose the best place to watch sunsets in Sedona. They went up the airport road and hiked down a little trial to a bench, where he proposed!

Is it 5 or 15 Minutes of Fame?

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 ...
