The Longs- Lifestyle Session
We were so glad we met The Longs. They had scheduled with us weeks prior to their photo shoot, but we all woke up to cloudy skies and lots of rain on the actual day we had planned. Anticipating that the rain would let up we attempted to keep our meeting time, but once 4:00 [...]
The Headlees- Maternity Session
Let me introduce you to my (Jessica) beautiful cousin Sarah and her amazing husband Jake. They are due to have their first baby girl, Jillian, in February and our entire family couldn’t be more ecstatic! Plus, Cruz will have a little one to play with! Sarah and I have been pretty close for all of [...]
Julie & Paul- Engagement Session
It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood the day we did this photo shoot! We hadn’t met Julie and Paul until this morning, but as soon as they stepped out of their car we just knew that we were going to have an amazing time. And we were right! Julie and Paul were full [...]
The Alleys- Maternity Session
What an amazing journey these two have had. Andrea and Cody were caught by surprise when they found out that they were expecting their little bundle of joy, and it has been so inspiring to watch their lives transform. We photographed Andrea and Cody back around the time when they had just found out that [...]
The Rounds- Maternity Session
Every once in a while we bring our son Cruz on our photo shoots. We try to always find a babysitter, but sometimes it’s just not possible. So when that happens, we bring him. When we met The Rounds, we had Cruz in tow on their shoot. And when we arrived, I introduced Cruz explaining [...]
The Berrys- Lifestyle Session
What does a gorgeous young married duo, an awesome painted “direction” sign, and three crazy rowdy dogs equal? One of the craziest shoots we’ve done so far and some ridiculously fun pictures!
Jeff and Eryn Berry contacted us about capturing them a couple months back, and Eryn told us that she really wanted to have their [...]
The Ibachs- Lifestyle Session
Well Jess and I are finally beginning to see the light at the end of this crazy busy holiday season! It’s been a fantastic time of growing for us as artists and we’ve gotten to meet some terrific new friends at our shoots. We’re super excited already for 2010 and what the year holds in [...]
The Andrews- Lifestyle Session
This is one very special family. We knew it from the very first email that was sent to us. Jolyn is the proud mamma of two incredible boys, Carter and Joel. When Jolyn first started talking with us about setting up a photo shoot, she informed us that this would be a special photo shoot [...]
The Rasts- Lifestyle Session
We love meeting people who are up for anything. And The Rasts were those people! We met The Rasts through The Rasts- yes, they are of course, family. Carey is the brother of Woody, who we photographed with his wife and daughter back in October 2009. It’s so amazing to meet people who are referred [...]
The Swifts- Lifestyle Session
Lions, Tigers and Bears- oh my!
That’s right! We headed to the infamous Phoenix Zoo for our photo shoot with The Swifts. We have been wanting to shoot at The Phoenix Zoo for some time now, but Jason and I agree that The Swifts were the perfect family to have photographed there. It was such a [...]
The Everlings- Lifestyle Session
I’m sure The Everlings were wondering what we had up our sleeves for their shoot- especially once they arrived at the location that we had picked out. We told them to meet us at the abandoned houses behind the Goodwill. Yikes. And when we arrive at a location like that, we never know exactly what [...]
The Gunkels
Finding inspiration while photographing The Gunkels wasn’t hard to do. They are beautiful (inside and out), amazingly loving and generous people and we get the sense that they make everyone they come into contact with feel right at home. One of my (Jessica) favorite things to do while on a shoot, aside from photographing, is [...]
Tonya & Adam
Love is in the air!
Tonya and Adam are engaged! Photographing engaged couples is always so much fun. There is so much love, excitement, and joy between the two and the pictures always look so natural and not forced. It’s a thrill for us. Tonya and Adam were no different at all. You can see it all [...]
The Valles’s
It’s not a surprise that the sun is bright and strong in the desert of Arizona. And we all hope for a little cool down once November hits, but rarely does it cool down until almost December. We photographed this fantastic family towards the middle of November and it was still pretty warm out! The [...]
The Alexanders
This family is just bursting at the seams with personality! Each and every one of them is so different and so unique- it made photographing them a lot of fun. We have known Paul and Lisa over the past couple years and met them while we were on staff at Cornerstone. When they asked us [...]
The Lindbergs
Look at the faces on these fun friends. Slap-happiness and excitement oozing all over the place. Literally!
What a joyful bunch of troopers the Lindbergs were on an absolutely glorious November day. Overcast skies lent Jess and I soft natural light and every so often the clouds would part to give us just a short-lived glimpse [...]
The Smiths
It’s beginning to look a lot like…well you know the rest.
Christmas! The glorious season that we all cherish is here once again. Full of light and a certain magic and family and hope, this is definitely our favorite time of year. We kicked the season off right with a little session with some great friends [...]
The Krulls
Check out this sweet, sweet family!
We picked out an orange tree grove as one of the locations for this incredible family, but we had no idea exactly how perfect it would be. It fit their personalities perfectly! The Krull’s were such a joy to photograph. We quickly learned that Michaela and Gary both have huge [...]
