Kim and Larry...

On August 7th, I photographed a wedding with Leanna of Photography by Leanna. I was her second shooter. Being a second shooter is such a nice change of pace (from being lead shooter.) We had never shot together before-- didn't seem that way though. We easily made a good team. Kim and Larry, the bride and groom, were so nice to work with. Congratulations to Mr & Mrs McDonough! Here are some of the images I took that day...

Tons of images!

Reposting this wedding-- one of my favorites...

Amanda and Todd were married on May 8th. Amanda is the sister of one of my favorite brides, Allison. So I already knew this family and knew it would be a fun easy going day. Their day was so full and so spread out, that I had 11 hours of coverage that day! Thank goodness Mary Sandy was my second shooter! We started out at the Valley Ho in Scottsdale, then went to the church ceremony at All Saints Catholic Newman Center by ASU, and then back to the Valley Ho. The reception was on the rooftop, which is always a blast. The Valley Ho is one of my favorite places to shoot a wedding! By the way, normally I have weddings edited and blogged within a week or so of the wedding. With this wedding it was just not possible because Mary and I shot 2000 images each, 4000 total. Ended up with about 2700 after editing. So this of course took time. Well, here are my favorite 30ish...

And high school is here?!

This morning my daughter started high school. Such a milestone--
she isn't a little kid any more. She is a young woman! Katie is very
smart, academic (honors student), athletic, responsible, friendly, kind,
sassy yet sweet. I could go on forever. Proud mama I am. Teary eyed
because I can see college a coming...love my Katie!
