Angie and Klayton

This was Sunday October 2nd, at the Boojum Tree. Boojum Tree is such a neat place, full of rustic character, vegetation, and charm. Great place for photography and/or a wedding! Angie and Klayton found me at a Starbuck's in Scottsdale. I was waiting for a potential client to arrive, and Klayton was in line for coffee. He asked me for a business card, and we met and contracted a week later. Their wedding was small and sweet. Congratulations Angie and Klayton and families!

Angie was trying to fool me in to believing that she isn't good in front of the camera, and just look at how great these are! Camera loved her!

The next three shots are my favorites from their first moments seeing eachother that day...




They both have such great smiles, and this next one shows that...

This next one is probably my favorite from the day. It is very touching and romantic, and it really captures their feelings and the aura of the day.


This is all of the family in attendance at the wedding, and ALL of the people in attendance at the wedding. Small weddings are so nice because they are intimate and layed back.

Groom and his two daughters, too cute!


The coolest cake topper ever! So in love with their 'A' (for their last name).
















This was not really a dipping dress, but they did a great job anyways. What a great finale to the images of their day!

Miss Abby

Spent a couple hours last week with Abby and her parents. Abby was a couple weeks old at the time of the shoot. Abby made me work extra hard-- she is one of those models that decides when we will and won't take photos. But when she would give us some nice expressions, she knew how to work the camera! She is just so darn adorable!









Dad make Abby look small, like a newborn, like she is.


I caught her with her dimples showing in this next one...I am jealous, I love dimples!

This is the one little smile she gave us. Thank goodness I was ready to fire, it was a quick little moment.

Aubrie and Nathan

Nathan and Aubrie are getting married on Cinco de Mayo in 2012 (May 5th) at Val Vista Lakes. Aubrie asked if I had ever shot at Scottsdale Civic Center, and I giggled 'Lots of times!' We met up there on September 10th at sunrise to have cooler weather which worked as planned. We had beautiful light and they had fun in front of the camera. I tried some new ideas with poses, backgrounds, computer enhancing. I think I am on to something-- these are hot, right!!?






I LOVE it when the sun backlights the leaves...colors are light autumn that way, which in the valley is amazingly rare!












I can't decide if I like the color or the chocolate version of this next image. What do you think?
