Pinwheels, petals and pearls; The Richardson Wedding!

He was given strict instructions. "Your back must be to the audience until Katelyn is right at the entrance of the walkway,  you will get tapped and THEN you are allowed to turn around".

The buildup to the moment was so worth it as the the parents, bridesmaids and flower bearer all made their way down the aisle. The audience stood up and turned, getting a sneak peak as   Katelyn walked toward the aisle... Paul still facing away, waiting patiently at the front. 

The colorful handmade pinwheels turned enthusiastically on the chairs that lined the aisles as if impatient as well. And with a small tap, Paul turned to face his bride just a small walk from him down a petal filled aisle. Large tears ran down his cheeks as the woman of his dreams walked stood adorned in pearls and a white perfect dress;  he smiled as his future came walking towards him.

Sadie Senior Photos!

She is headed off to Cal state in July for her freshman year of college... but first we spent some time to capture Sadie in her last few weeks of her high school life!

Her smile was stunning and this girl knew how to work the camera with her bright beautiful eyes and contagious smile! Her mom and sis were along for the ride, so I couldn't help but pull them in for a few shots as well : )

Thank you for letting me capture your beautiful personality Sadie! Best to you in this new awesome journey in your life!

Community through photos.

One of the things I love most about being a photographer is the community that comes with it. When I first started,  I  honestly felt very alone. Going to WPPI,  really solidified some relationships for me with other photographers in Phoenix and changed my world! 

I recently became a member of the Showit Community after attending a Zach and Jody Gray workshop.  It has been such an awesome transition in my career to really plug into this group, shoot alongside them, talk about business strategy over pizza, upcoming trends over sushi and recents weddings over coffee. Okay so we eat a lot, but recently we also got the chance to go out and shoot portraits of each other. It was a fun night and great to get photographers behind the lens. 

Love this group. 

If you are a photographer looking for a community, you should really consider joining the Showit family. It will help you in amazing ways!

Painting on a Saturday

Saturday. Its the one day Ricky and I get to sleep in.

To be transparent... I thought I would be just a tad bitter waking up a few weekends ago at 6:30 to go paint and serve with my church. But once I was up, I was actually excited and ready to go.

We got to the school and much to my surprise, my parents were there serving as well. I guess the apple doesn't fall too far. Such a great example my mom and dad have set for me. I love them both and it was great to serve alongside them. 

If you ever wanna come serve with us, let me know! We'd love to have you!
