Francisco Family | Family Portrait

Meet the Francisco's! I met this fun family two years ago on a trip to Arizona. They were in another city when we initially moved to Arizona, but now live only a few doors down from us and it is so great! I enjoy being around them so much. Their hospitality is awesome (I have so much to learn) and their hearts for God is even greater. They encourage me daily and I'm so thankful that they are near and we've gotten to know them.

We decided to go to Tempe Town Lake; which is a really cool area in Tempe. I've been there a few times. In fact, I think I've done three portraits at this location now! :)

Just a side note...some of Noah's facial expressions are priceless. Make sure you look at them. You'll at least smile. :)

Family squeeze! :)

I love this picture. So cute - Love that Noah is hugging Anaiah willingly, too! :)

LOVE the picture of Danielle on the right. That is probably my favorite of this shoot! :)

Love you guys!

Thanks for taking a look! Leave some comments below! :)

Jason + Gloria | Tying the Knot! :)

Jason and Gloria are such a fun couple. When I first met them in a little coffee shop in Tempe, Arizona after Gloria first emailed me, I was so inspired by the love they had for each other. I think I said that about five times in our meeting, as well! I just could see it exuding out of both of them, as we talked about how they met and what they dreamed about for their wedding day.

I'm SO thankful that I was able to be there for their beautiful day. I don't think I could stop smiling that entire day! As well, I have to mention the hospitality of this couple!! I didn't feel like the wedding photographer at this wedding--I felt like I had known them for years. I left feeling like I had celebrated the wedding of close friends. Thank you Gloria and Jason for making me feel so welcome! I had so much fun. Hope you cherish these pictures forever.

Enough of my gabbing...

The ceremony was at the beautiful Danforth Chapel on ASU Campus. The reception was held at the Hackett House off Mill Avenue in Tempe.

Here's some shots! :) 

The Bride is here! :) 

Such a cute entrance to the reception! :) It was a happy day.

Love the simplicity and elegance of the decorations. Gloria made all of them. Such a talented woman! :)

LOVE the cake. She even made this cake topper. Beautiful!

What a fun day! :) Thanks for looking!!

Stay tuned for many more pictures of a few families!

Jessica + Jason | Wedding

Meet Jessica and Jason! :) I was asked by James Almanza to second shoot this lovely wedding and it was a blast. Thank you James for asking me to shoot with you.

The venue they chose was The Farm at South Mountain. It was SUCH a beatiful spot! It's a gem in the middle of desert Phoenix! I hadn't seen that much grass and trees since living in Texas! :) ha! I'm now getting used to the rock front and back yards and dust. :) Oh, and how can you forget the 100+ degree weather in May? :) 

Anyways, I digress! I hope you enjoy these few shots that I got of this lovely couple. Jessica and Jason, I wish you the best! Thank you for allowing me to come on board with James and share your special day. I hope you cherish the photos we took forever.

Enough of my blabbering - here are some shots! :)

They had a super cute candy buffet all decorated up!

So I had the privlege of photographing Jason on his wedding day, while James photographed Jessica. So guys can get ready really fast I learned! :)

Jessica was so beautiful walking down the aisle! Loved her dress. The beadwork on her dress, on the right side where all the fabric gathers, it's actually from her mother's dress. It was a beautiful touch, I think.

You can tell Jason is so happy here! :)

Ring shots! Fun fun fun! :)

They had a 'cupcake' cake. It was very tasty, too! :) 

Thanks for looking!
