Such a fun opportunity photographing Wendy's High School Heisman National Finalist, Karsten Householder. Creative direction was simple; well lit portraits of this student athlete. Using the Paul C Buff Alien Bees as a side and front light, I also used the high sun as a third light. Check out a few behind the scene pics. By far my most favorite thing about being a photographer, is seeing your photos in the end project. Really pulls it all together. #SportsPhotographer #Basebal

Every now and again I have the opportunity to hit mitts with Fidel. But this day was a little different...half way through our workout I realized I had some gear in my car from a recent portrait shoot, so I asked Fidel if he'd be interested in a boxing photoshoot since I've always wanted to photograph a bad ass boxer in the ring. What gear did I have in my car, you ask? Well, I had a Paul C Buff Einstein, a beauty dish and a c-stand. I don't have a photo of our set, but it wa

Traditionally, I do not cover weddings but every so often there's a bride, groom and scenario I cannot turn down. These two love birds were one. After speaking with Rachael and Paul over the phone, we decided we would meet early in the morning to snap some portraits before they made their way into the Temple. Armed with my two Nikon D4's, a 24-70mm and 70-200mm, a reflector and an awesome assistant, we were ready to rock our portrait session. { NIKON D4; NIKON 70-200; ISO: 64

The family and I have had a whirlwind of a year. My husband Noah has been fighting for full custody of his daughter and to bring her to Arizona to be with him and I. It was a lot of plane rides, a lot of face timing, plenty of missing one another, and a beautiful ending with having Ezra move to Arizona. { NIKON D4; NIKON 70-200; ISO: 2500; Aperture: 4.5; Shutter: 1/400 } With the holidays also around the corner we were really looking forward to getting family pictures to put

One dark, cloudy afternoon, I met Juliana and her mom for her graduation photo shoot. For those familiar with Arizona, dark, cloudy, rainy days are not common to our beautiful state. I was a little nervous as the plan was to shoot during the golden hour at sunset. Within the first 10 mins, not only was the cloud coverage depressing, there were strong winds blowing Juliana's hair, graduation gown and sash everywhere! (Sorry Juliana for posting these!) A photo shoot should be a

Watch out world, because here comes Meadow! Meadow is quite the personality, as you can see in her photos below. She is comfortable, confident and simply adorable! Meadow's momma reached out asking if we could do a portrait session here in Phoenix for some head shots for her potential acting portfolio. I have no doubts this young lady will have an amazing career that will take her as far as she wants to go as she is quite the personality. Working with younger talent can be

I was so happy when Tatum reached out to me to take her ASU graduation photos. This blonde goddess is simply stunning and hardly even knows it! Tatum had her mom come with us to the shoot, which always makes it special for both the graduate and the parent. Plus you know what this means for me?! Extra hands to hold the light reflector!! When we began her senior photo shoot around the ASU campus, Tatum was timid, nervous and as is most women are, self conscious about everything

I met Shasta during a lifestyle brand photoshoot with Legacy Fitness. Shasta had this fun spunk and determination about her that I was instantly attracted too. While all of the guys did some striking pose, home girl comes flying into my frame with a flying knee! { NIKON D4; NIKON 24-70; ISO: 160; Aperture: 8; Shutter: 1/250 } As you can see, I wasn't properly set setup for it this sort of action. While I could technically could cut her out, I thought it'd be waaay more fun to
