NYC: The personal side

A few weeks ago, just before Thanksgiving, I went on a little “girls trip” to New York City. I used to go every year to NYC, usually with my Mom and sister and maybe a friend or two, just for a weekend of girl time, which usually consisted of: shopping, eating good food, drinking some...

Baby Parker: Newborn Photography in Phoenix

I recently had the privilege of photographing ADORABLE newborn Parker. He was born several weeks early, and while I didn’t actually meet him until he was a few weeks old, he was still so tiny and well, newborny (I know it’s not a real word, but it should be). I just didn’t want to put...
