Brian + Brittany Engagement Shoot

I met up with Brian + Brittany in downtown Gilbert last weekend. We wandered around taking photos and cracking jokes before grabbing a drink at Oregano’s while we waited for the light to get perfect. Then we were back out for some more laughs and photos. Congratulations Brian + Brittany. I’m looking forward to your wedding this fall.

Jason + Alicia – Wedding Album

This weekend I’m meeting up with one of my favorite couples from last year, Jason + Alicia, to drop off their wedding album. They were such a joy to work with over the last 8 months since met for a first consultation last summer. I look forward to many more laughs with them.

Best Wedding + Portrait Photos of 2011

Another year is in the books and throughout December I reflected on how I’ve grown and changed as a person.

This post has some of my favorite wedding and portrait photos from this past year. You can also see my Best of 2011:People in My Life.

It was a good year and I’m looking forward to what 2012 brings both personally and professionally.

Best of 2011: People in my life

This year was a transition year for me in both my photography and my personal life. The biggest change was the addition of our daughter Amaya. Until she was both it was just Arielle and I, now we are a family. Amaya came with an unexpected trip to the hospital. I can’t express in words how grateful I am to our friends for being there during that difficult time.

Through out the year, some friendships faded, and others strengthened. Here are some photos of a few people that have been significant this year.
