2020 is OVER. Simultaneously the longest and shortest year of my entire life, and I suspect many of yours as well. A year with some looooooow lows but also some incredible highs. A year of incredible strength and growth. Even just getting to the end of the year alive deserves a round of applause. Well done, friends. We freakin’ did it.
Read MoreAs a person from the Midwest, I can’t get enough of the Grand Canyon. Some folks who come from more scenic areas may find it boring and touristy, but not me. I can’t blame the tourists, because even though I live in AZ now, I am one. I’ll happily brave the crowds to get a glimpse of this wonder.
Read MoreI love proposals so much. I’ve done a handful of them now and they are always perfect. It’s so much fun to make a sneaky plan with one partner and carry it out and watch the other partner be completely shocked and elated. And of course, I was BEYOND stoked to do this at the Grand Canyon of all places!! I am so thankful that Nate brought me back to this magical place to capture his proposal to Brittany.
Read MoreThis one is special to me. Karen is one of my best friends from college (and my little sister in our sorority!) and she and Kaleb got together their sophomore year. She is from Germany and they’ve had a long relationship with many periods of looooong distance, and other periods of sharing their homes and cultures with each other.
Read MoreIt’s no secret that Arizona has SO MUCH to offer when it comes to epic locations for an adventurous elopement. But are you really aware of just how much it has to offer?

But there are soooo many different landscapes to behold in this gorgeous state, and there is so much to choose from when picking an elopement location.
Read More…But right now we’re focusing on one very popular part of the state - the red rocks. I picked up Jillian and Daniel in Flagstaff where I was staying and where they are NAU students, and we drove down to Sedona for the most adorable couples session.
Read MoreOk, before I get to the good stuff, I just have to say… Grand Canyon. HOLY WOW. My little Midwestern heart practically jumped right out of my chest. It’s true what they say: the Grand Canyon is impossible to describe or capture in a photograph. But of course, I’m me, so I still tried. ;)
Read MoreUmmm can you say GORGEOUS?! I don’t think I’ll ever get over Canyon Lake. I’ve always been a lake person (pools are too manufactured and chemically, oceans are too salty and terrifying, but lakes are perfect), so to see and swim in such a beautiful lake really filled my cup. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Read MoreWhen I visited Tucson to make absolutely sure it was the right place for me (spoiler alert: it is), these friends let me sleep on their couch for FOUR WHOLE NIGHTS. That’s a lot, y’all, especially for the middle of the week. But they made me feel right at home and even let me drag them out to Picacho Peak for super fun couples session.
