The Botmas – Lifestyle Session

A few weeks ago we had the great opportunity to hang with our friends Grant and Jodi Botma for some fun shootin time! And they even brought their little sweetheart of a daughter Cambria. So Jess and I decided to bring Cruz along on the shoot so he could do his little “flirty” thing and [...]

The Underwoods- Lifestyle Session

The day we met up with this fantastic family, it had actually been raining all day long. We had already rescheduled once a week prior (due to rain!) and we were determined to make it happen. So with fingers crossed, we met up with them at an abandoned old hotel hoping that the rain would [...]

The Murrays- Lifestyle Session

It was so good to see this incredible family! I have known Aimee ever since high school. We met each other when we both worked at The Blue Burrito Grill and have managed to keep in touch ever since graduation. She is married now to her wonderful husband, Ben and has two sweet kiddos, Elyse [...]

The Pattersons- Lifestyle Session

Saying goodbye is hard to do. That’s what we had to do with these fabulous friends after our shoot with them on this particular evening. James and Tracy Patterson have become amazing friends of ours. We’ve been through a lot with this family and have really had to lean on each other in the past [...]

The Parsons- Lifestyle Session

Check out these fantastically chubby cheeks! Logan stole the show this day- with his piercing eyes, big cheeks and very sweet demeanor- how could he not? Stacie and Mike are the proud parents of this adorable little boy and we were thrilled to be able to spend the afternoon with them! Logan started out pretty [...]

Jackson Johnson- Newborn Session

What a perfect Valentine’s Day post! What’s not to love about this sweet little man? I can’t think of a single thing! New parents Christy and Ryan Johnson welcomed sweet Jackson into the world on January 13, 2010 at 6:43 am, and I was fortunate enough to be there to capture the entire thing. Christy [...]

The Richardsons- Lifestyle Session

We have known The Richardson family for many years now. Abby, their oldest daughter was our flower girl in our wedding almost seven years ago, and now she’s babysitting for us! It’s amazing how time flies. But we’ve know The Richardson’s since Jason and I started dating- Jason’s known them since even before that!
Brent is [...]

The Peterson’s & The Baran’s- Lifestyle Session

This lively bunch was a ton of fun to photograph! We were thrilled and honored when Jennifer contacted us inquiring about our work. She said she had been keeping an eye on our work for a while, that she loved what we were doing, and that she couldn’t wait to contact us. And we are [...]

Kai Lundberg- Newborn Session

Allow me to introduce you to this handsome little fellow! Kai Lundberg is the newest addition in The Lundberg household, making him the youngest brother to big brother Jackson. Jason and I have really grown to love this family- and it’s not hard to do! They are amazing people! We’ve had the pleasure of getting [...]

The Arellano’s- Lifestyle Session

The Arellano’s were such a fun family to spend the afternoon with! And what a special day it was! Deanne had told me that it was going to be her 50th birthday on the day that we did our photo shoot and that she really wanted pictures of her family to capture the day. They [...]

John & Roxy – Lifestyle Session

It just doesn’t get much better than this. It doesn’t get much more perfect than this. John and Roxy are like the spitting image of “peas in a pod”. Lots o’ love, compassion for one another, and holding the other person above themselves equals one heck of a gorgeous couple.
Jess and I have known Roxy [...]

The Bartons & Entire Family- Lifestyle Session

I’m sure you remember The Barton’s. We had the pleasure of getting to know them while Liz was still pregnant with Ethan. We did their maternity session as well as a newborn session once little Ethan arrived. Liz and Josh were hoping that Ethan’s delivery would time perfectly with when both of their families would [...]

The Vierkoetters – Lifestyle Session

We have been really wanting to incorporate this great location into one of our sessions. I’m referring to the Arizona Railway Museum.
Never heard of it?
Neither had I. And had driven right past it no less than 4,213,879 times. The church we used to serve at, Cornerstone, met at a high school in their earlier days, [...]

The Specks and Family- Lifestyle Session

You might remember that we did a photo shoot with our dear friends, The Lindbergs, a little over a month ago. We love these fun friends and we were thrilled when Jami told us that her sister Bre and her husband Kyle wanted to have their pictures taken as well! They are from Washington State [...]

The Butlers – Lifestyle Session

You know that whole “it’s a small world” deal? Well, it turns out that it just may be true.
No, I’m not talking about the maniacal ride at Disneyland. I mean this sort of inter-connectivity that Jess and I continue to experience when we have the opportunity to hang with new friends doing what we love [...]

The Budingers- Lifestyle Session

We did this photo shoot with this great family right before Christmas. It was fun to be in Downtown Chandler with them- decorations were up, there was a small chill in the air, everyone was in great spirits. We have loved using Downtown Chandler as a backdrop for photo shoots. There’s such a unique blend [...]

The Tans- Lifestyle Session

Photography is fundamentally the art of using light. Whether or not you are creating the light yourself, artificially, or using natural available light, lighting is everything to a photog. And if you can expose or “paint” with the light just right…well, then you have yourself a pretty fantastic image.
Contrary to popular opinion, having blue skies [...]

The Anglemyers- Lifestyle Session

Well if you keep up to date with most of our sessions and posts, you just may have seen me (Jason) hint to the “Railroad Nazi” in the Ibachs post. If you’ve been pondering what in the world I must have been referring to, let me enlighten you with the story tale legend of….the Railroad [...]

The Merrills- Lifestyle Session

Zack and Deb Merrill have been great friends to us, ever since Jess and I met them while serving at The Rock Eternal church. They are those types of people you notice in a crowd. You know. The outgoing, smiles always beaming, loud and fast, fun people you want to hang out with. Zack and [...]

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 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 [...]
