These two are the quinessential classic couple. Elegant, polite and ever so beautiful. It was so fun getting to photograph them for their engagement shoot, along with their pup! For this shoot, we meet in downtown Tucson- and then wandered into the desert near the Tucson mountains for some more casual shots.

When I first met these two I could immediately see how easy going and sweet they were. Karina, the bride had every detail of this wedding planned down to the napkins. Being a huge DIY kind of gal, she made almost everything for the wedding. Her classic, but whimsical style really showed up in every element….Screen Shot 2014-09-23 at 2.48.42 PM

These two! One of the most loving, kind and genuine couples I have ever had the pleasure of photographing (or knowing!). For their ‘fall’ engagement session we headed to the barrio in downtown Tucson, for some biker fun (these two are amazing outdoors-peeps),  followed by a fun hike in the washes of Sabino Canyon.

This is a session favorite…you have to believe me when I say this was a TOUGH shot to get. These two never stop smiling- and were cracking up the entire time I was trying to get a dead-pan face. Too cute.

Next we took the tram to the top of Sabino Canyon and then walked down.

It’s hard to really experience FALL in Tucson, but I think we totally achieved it in Sabino Canyon. So many beautiful colors! Lauren & Ryan Engaged-282

I need these boots. SWOON.

Meet Lindsay: Our Newest (Most Favorite) Studio Assistant!

MeetLuluWhat started out as a busy Fall in 2013, then turned into an INSANE Winter and even more nuts Spring here in the studio. Luckily for me, business has grown at a really fast rate over the past year, and I am both grateful and excited. With this increase in business, I  quickly (or not so quickly) realized I needed help both in the studio and in the field! Enter: Lulu! Lindsay (or Lulu if you know her), my first team member, started with me a few weeks ago- and makes everything so much BETTER! The best thing about her, is she can do anything. You will find her writing blog posts, editing galleries, keeping me organized and on task, taking my Graham Graham on fun play dates, and second shooting with me on occasion. She’s fun, and has a great eye,  and I can’t imagine working with anyone else! (Plus: hello, she’s adorable). Welcome to EMP Lulu, and thank for agreeing to hang out with Graham and I all week!
