I have to give Mikaela props. Planning a wedding isn’t an easy task anyway, but I’m learning that when you’re planning a military wedding, the word ‘challenge’ doesn’t even begin to describe it! Almost each time I talk with Mikaela, something about their plans has changed. That doesn’t bother me in the least (I’m the […]

Wendy and Jonathan’s pink, coral and yellow Gila Valley LDS Temple wedding was such a beautiful event! Wendy chose colors that matched her vibrant hair and personality, and which completely highlighted her gorgeous and elegant Mon Cheri dress—She was absolutely stunning! And wait until you see her bouquet, it was a show-stopper! Wendy and Jonathan […]
Ryan and Starlyn’s wedding day in Deming, New Mexico turned out so beautifully! Even in spite of the weather we thought we would be dealing with. This time of year in Deming tends to be really windy–and not just wind, but we can get major dust storms that can close down the interstate! Things were […]

I don’t think I’ve seen so many tears, smiles, tender […]

This is the second time I’ve been able to […]
The subject line for Laura Mae’s inquiry email read “Hello, New Friend!”, so I knew right away this was a great match. When I called to ‘meet’ her over the phone, I couldn’t help but be excited for her–she was all but overflowing with bubbly energy! We talked about how she and Kyle met (on the […]

I promise, I do more than post about styled shoots. 🙂 I’ve got Mother’s Day mini sessions waiting in the wings, upcoming newborn and family sessions, a couple weddings I’m priveleged to second shoot alongside some amazing photographer friends, and a whole lot more– But for now, can we just admire this stunning setup from […]
A couple months ago, I was approached by Keeler Farms about an idea they had to amp up the local wedding industry–and for reals, I’ve hardly been able to think of anything else since our planning meeting a few days later. In a small town like Deming, it’s really easy to assume you have […]
