Finally more from the gorgeous wedding in Flagstaff two weeks ago. I was so honored to be able to second shoot for fellow photographer & friend Jennifer Fauset. Jen is an amazing photographer from Salt Lake City, Utah. Check out her site for more shots from this wedding @ Fauset Photography.
The wedding was held at the Church of the Nativity in downtown Flagstaff, which offered a beautiful backdrop for Guin & Jeff’s special day. We then had a quick stop at NAU for some more shots before heading to the reception at Thornagers on Kilte Lane.
I realized something about myself at this wedding…as toasts were being given by the maid of honor, and the best man I found my camera hanging low around my neck and tears in my eyes. I hadn’t even realized that I was so moved by these beautiful toasts that I had failed to take one photo in the last ten minutes. I looked over to see Jen shooting away, it was at this point I realized what a newbie I am!

Last week I went down to the valley to photograph the Gibson family. Recently the Gibson’s cousin surprised them, and sent a nomination to Giving Back Photography for the family to receive a free photo session. A fellow photographer friend contacted me, and asked if I was close to Scottsdale. This is how I found out about Giving Back Photography, the Gibson’s & their critically ill daughter… Cloey. I was so excited to be a part of this, to be able to give this family a few memories to hang on their walls…Of Cloey, Cal & Lainey. You see Cloey was born with a very rare genetic disorder that affects every system in her body……but it has not touched her beautiful smile, her spirit or her ability to make everyone around her feel her love. I count myself blessed just to have been near this beautiful family. Cal is so funny always making his family (and me) laugh. Lainey is so shy that I had to chase her to capture that adorable smile.
Megan & Ty your love for your family was a beautiful thing to see, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
To learn more about Cloey visit her blog @ http://princesscloey.blogspot.com/
I love this first shot! I had asked Cloey what color her beautiful hair was. She stopped and thought, then tried to look.
Her answer………..CURLY!!

What is more beautiful than the Arizona desert with Sedona as your backdrop at sunset?!? This has been an amazing June so far (knock on wood) with the weather so nice we can still venture out without melting

I did a lot of my growing up years in Texas, and in Texas they have a saying…….if you don’t like the weather wait 15 minutes it’s bound to change. Well up in northern Arizona this week we have had some beautiful storms blow in and out…….in 15 min or so. So needless to say my camera, and I got a bit wet but it was worth it. Enjoy.
