I have decided I love doing Family Photography at Gilbert Riparian Preserve. There is so much variety and beauty that makes for a great background for family pictures. This is my third time taking family pictures for the Fryer family since moving to Arizona in 2014. I look forward to working with the same people year after year and hanging out with them for an evening. The Preserve always has lots of photographers taking Family pictures, but there is plenty of room for everyone to enjoy. This is definitely one of my top favorite spots in Arizona. The Fryer family is so great to work with because they have the older boys who are awesome and the younger girls who are so sweet and cute. Thanks Fryer Family!

In 2017 I had the opportunity to second shoot for several photographers at several different weddings. Each couple had a unique relationship and created unique and beautiful weddings that were perfect for them. I cried at each wedding. I love being a "fly on the wall" as couple commit their lives to each other and celebrate their love. I love taking pictures at weddings as the main photographer and as a second shooter. We are so lucky to capture moments that will never happen again and enjoy them forever. These moments will never happen again. All we have are our memories and the pictures we capture. It really is something special being able to capture the memories of someone's wedding day through photography.

The desert can be beautiful especially at sunset. I appreciate the beauty of the earth every time I get to take someones family pictures. The Tyler family's pictures turned out lovely as usual. I love being their family picture photographer. Family pictures can sometimes be stressful to plan and execute, but they are always worth it! It is great to have a family picture on your wall to help you remember what life is all about: Family!
