Another year means another Thanksgiving gone by. Here in the United States, there’s a lot of talk about the meaning of Thanksgiving, about how what we teach children isn’t necessarily accurate, about disconnecting from buying things on Black Friday, and more. There are things worth talking about, but for us, Thanksgiving is simple: it’s a […]

It’s a tale as old as time. It’s a song as old as rhyme. It’s also a bit of line dancing to country-western music. Enter Moriah and Kris. These two high school sweethearts have been together for six years! Kris proposed to Moriah in October 2018 just outside of Cinderella’s castle, using a gorgeous ring […]

We’ve talked a bit recently about how we celebrate love in all its forms, that despite being a wedding photography studio, we relish the chance to do family shoots. Well, this shoot got to be both! Meet Nichole and Blake. They celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary in October! We see a lot more engagement and […]

If you look closely at our photo shoots, you might notice that Alli and I often shoot during transitional times of day. The sun’s never high in the sky; instead, we get those Arizona pinks and oranges streaking across the sky, casting pale desert light across everything. Sure, sunsets and sunrises here are gorgeous, but […]

If you’re reading this, chances are you either know me or Jo, or you’ve worked with us and know that we focus on wedding and engagement photography. Saying that, though, is like saying that still-life painters only paint fruit or architects only design buildings: we dabble. When your passion is in something creative, you don’t […]

They say that it’s bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony. Sometimes traditions are worthwhile, but other times they’re worth examining! We think that this is one of those: consider a first look. If you don’t know what it means, don’t worry. It’s pretty simple: a first look just means […]

Okay, this post is about a wonderful wedding. It’s also about pups. Oh my gosh. (Our gosh? How do plurals work when we collaborate? Oh, man.  We’re getting off-topic here.) Seriously, though. Erin and AJ had their wedding at a nature preserve near the heart of Downtown Phoenix, Rio Salado Audubon, and that theme of […]

Oh boy. Oh boy. OH BOY. Okay, we’re being a little dramatic, but it’s for good reason: it’s been three years since Alli and I went into business together! Not all small businesses make it this long, so we’re super blessed to still be able to pursue this passion of ours. It’s been a ridiculously […]

Oh, the modern romance. Girl gets on phone, girl signs sets up her acccount, girl meets guy, and then it’s history. Seriously, though. We know a lot of people roll their eyes at online dating, but it’s just like any other way to meet people: you roll the dice and hope you strike gold. In […]

South Mountain is a little piece of the desert right here in the Phoenix metropolis we call home. Separating the neighborhood of Ahwatukee from the greater city of Phoenix itself, it’s nothing but sprawling Arizona desert landscape, complete with cacti and the occasional coyote. It’s not a hard hike, but outdoorsmen use it quite often […]
