Phoenix Documentary Family Photography – Let’s sing happy birthday!

a day in the life

Phoenix Documentary Family Photography – Happy Birthday to you (Megan). In my house, James, Chloe, and I, all celebrate our birthdays in a two-week span.  There is a lot of singing Happy Birthday, birthday cupcakes, and usually swimming.  I know swimming is a bit odd, but since all of our birthdays are during summer we […]

Because while the best part of my job is continuing to see my clients year after year, it’s certainly a […]

Boulder Family Photographer – Merry Davenport Christmas

Not everyone brings their family photographer to the Neighborhood Christmas Tree farm in Boulder, but that’s just how Sharee rolls. I had an amazing 6 hours documenting Sharee and her dapper little human sidekick Brayden. Shameless plug: If you or ANYONE you know is in the market for a fabulous Colorado wedding photographer, she is […]

Are you keeping track?  Because if you are then you know this is my second major camera purchase in 2018.  Back in March, I started blogging about my Fuji X-H1 purchase.  I have been using a Fuji x100 series camera for personal images since 2014 so when Fuji announced a new hybrid camera for those […]
