For their engagement photos, Mac and Jessica wanted to feature two very different places. They spend a lot of time outdoors with each other and love the green, woodsy feel of Mt. Lemmon’s trails.  I always encourage my couples to pick meaningful locations and that’s certainly their thoughts behind location number two: the U of […]

Renata and Vincent’s engagement session made me feel like we were back in Spring as opposed to being a few weeks away from Winter.

Lora and Mike knew they wanted to feature a desert landscape in their engagement photos. There was one important caveat though– it had to be a dog-friendly location. Their Irish doodle Charlie is very important to them; having her included in photos was a must! Sweetwater Preserve was the perfect spot. The trails are lined […]

Denise and Travis are both particularly skilled and dedicated when it comes to their careers in the Air Force. As a military spouse myself, I immediately thought about how hard it must be for them to both have such demanding jobs that undoubtedly require them to spend lots of time apart under stressful situations.

Ciara and Logan had their hearts set on Mt. Lemmon as their featured location from the moment we started talking. They initially wanted to go up in late 2021/early 2022, but the weather on the mountain that time of year can be very unpredictable. Despite being in the desert, Mt. Lemmon actually sees tons of […]
