I'm so very {blessed}, especially after these past 5 months with LOTS of up's and down's with my leg. Its even sweeter when you get to meet amazing and talented women who are sooo beyond creative that it truly inspires me! {u2rblessed} is one of the few that I work with that have products that I love... and their name alone says it ALL. I LOVE the business statement on their home page that describes their business,

"u2rblessed is a web-based retail store offering items for men, women and children. We create wearable art reflecting a positive attitude for people who "LOVE LIFE". Our products are unique, stylish and always fun to wear.Our hope is to not only inspire and excite you but also remind you that "u2rblessed".

I was contacted by Suzi asking if I did commercial work. I was so honored and excited to do this shoot to launch their new kiddo T-Shirts line! Suzi and Rhonda are two of the sweetest gals and the models were absolutely perfect! Thank you for such a {happy} shoot!!!!

*to order their fabulousness please email them with your orders*

Meet Devin!

2011-01-13T20:23:00.001-08:00

This is my nephew and I have been stalking my step moms vintage scale for months now and I kept saying that I want to put a baby in that!! Well they are amazing and I love them for letting me borrow it one afternoon. First off there's a story behind this scale. It was on my great grandparents farm in Pennsylvania and dates back to 1912!!! Isn't that sooo ahhmazing???
Now this shot was HARD and complicated for me and I'm pretty sure there's someone out there who could do it with ease. {feel free to share your advice photogs} I saw something similar from another amazing and talented photographer and she is my hero!
Well it was such a learning experience and was so fun! We ended up only getting to snap a few. I'm so excited that I vintaged it up a bit which hid some of my imperfections. :)

{Welcome little Devin!! Auntie loves you lots!}

I love the fact that when I'm taking pictures, I get the opportunity to become friends with super fab people!! These two are some of them. Meet Jackie and Jeff! You probably remember them from one of my recent weddings. She is soooo crazy gorgeous and Jeff super handsome and together they are ahhhmazingly good looking and they're two of the kindest people out there! I had so much fun doing a period piece and I love anything vintage. Jackie was so kind to agree to dress up and let me use them as models and it was even more exciting when she said she had theater chairs that we could use. Yep....I pretty much died right then! Ohhhh how stinkin fun this was! Thank you guys sooooooo much!! Till next time!!!

Oh how I love FALL. Even though technically in Arizona we don't have a reaaal fall, its still so wonderful when the nights start to cool down. I love everything about this time of year!! That being said its also the time of family shoots and WEDDINGS!! Aweee! Early last month I had the amazing pleasure of shooting Jeff and Jackies' vintage country (i totally made that up) wedding. They are two of the sweetest people you will ever know and I love how me and Jackie's brain mesh so well, spilling with ideas!! LOVE IT! Oh and their daughter is sooo adorable! One heck of a gorgeous family....just sayin! The wedding party was the BEST and thanks to Twylla for second shooting.
On to wedding number two... Britney and Nate. Another amazing couple and seriously how did I get this lucky??? LOL Whenever I'm around them I feel at home...completely down to earth and fun!! Add a John Deer tractor and I'm in heaven!! Their wedding was at Encanterra and I have to tell you that place is MAGICALICIOUS!!

Why You Hire a Photographer

Its dark and there's a hair over her face. Notice the scratches on her legs..
