ashley + michael

Congratulations to Ashley and Michael! They're engaged to be married May, 2009 at Shepherd of the Desert Church. Ashley and Michael went to the same high school and fell in love while in college. Here are photos from their engagement session. Such love!

santa's littlest helper

Recognize the signature bottom lip in the middle photo? That would be my little guy. Ian was the recipient of the wonderful fire truck from a neighbor. The neighbor's grand-kids are too big for it and he wanted to get rid of it. Thank you Dave!

heather

Here are some images of a beautiful young lady who I had the pleasure of photographing. We started our morning with a visit to my friend's stable. Heather loves horses and enjoyed her visit with the horse, Kahn.

Same picture a couple different ways. Here's my daughter, Riley. I may be biased, but she photographs well (she has her dad's eyes). It's not easy being my model in high demand, but believe me, she's a high-maintenance model. Whenever I want to photograph her, she gives me a list of demands and limits my images. Most times, she will state the exact number of photos she will pose for. On this day, I was allowed one!

Here's my little guy.

forget paris in the springtime

Paris in the fall is a great time to visit. The crowds are gone and the colors along the Seine River are beautiful. Here are a few images from our 2008 European vacation.

The Black Forest (Schwarzwald) is essentially known for its scenery and woods. A typical home is one with a lush flower garden and seasonal vegetables.

take a hike!

This is my favorite time of year in Arizona because it allows us to go on hikes in beautiful 78 degree weather. Here are a few photos from a morning hike.

autumn past

My favorite time of year is fall. The days have cooled, the foliage offers a brilliance of changing colors, whiffs of cinnamon and apple cider fill the air, and a new year beckons. I'd like to share a few photos of my first born sharing this season.

jessica

While photographing her family, I just had to get a close up of Jessica's stunning eyes. Gorgeous girl!

let's go skiing

I had a short visit from my BFF, Rose, and she brought along her grand-daughter, Meagan. I can't resist a new face. I just love the photos of Meagan wearing the hat. Every time I look at it, I feel I'm looking at a cover of a ski magazine. What a cutie!

best buddies

My daughter, Riley, had lots of fun playing with her little friend next door. It was her first real friendship, which sadly came to an end when Jacob moved away to Tennessee last week. Here are a few photos of Riley and Jacob with his "Paul Newman" eyes. Riley misses you!
