Ok, you’ve seen some teaser images of these two good-lookin’ lovebirds. Here’s the rest of the images from their outdoor session in Tempe. We would’ve gone on a bit longer, but around sunset, James realized that he dropped his eyeglasses somewhere and we wanted to make sure we found them before it got too dark. So it was a worrisome backtracking trip to look for the glasses at each spot we were at, but thank goodness we found them at the end (or should I say beginning, because it was laying on the ground at one of the first spots we were at!) I guess it was good timing though because once the sun was gone, we were all freeeeezing our butts off -especially poor Rachel in her little dress!

But here’s what we got out of the couple of hours we had. I love these!

One of my favorite trees is this huge oak standing all alone in this field of flowers.

I asked them to do a butt bump. Play the video below to see how surprisingly powerful Jenny is.

Last but not least, the run like hell shots:


That was so much fun you guys! Can't wait for your wedding!!!

These two little guys made the session a hoot! Riot has been Nichole's dog for quite a few years now and he used to compete (and win!) in the Weiner Nationals in Phoenix until the poor little guy broke his back. He's the reason for this family portrait session actually.


Racer joined the family recently and is obviously Ray's favorite.








Look at Racer's long droopy ears! I love it!


Riot's tongue totally amuses me!




And we all couldn't resist this one at the end of the session:

Just a quick one from Nichole & Ray's family session with their two little ones!

It was such a blast shooting Dianna & Alex's portrait session at Tempe Town Lake with their two dogs, Barack & Sarah. =) I had a great time shooting, they had a great time posing, and the dogs, well, don't they always have a good time wherever they are?

We started at Tempe Center for the Arts and moved on down from there.




Sarah-totally headstrong.


Dianna & Alex have been married for 2 years. He's Colombian and she's half Mexican, half Caucasian. Together, they make sweetness!






The Lynn Dao must-have jumping shot:


Alex messing around with the huge pool of water in front of TCA.


Barack is such a good dog! Really, he's the best behaved dog I've ever met!!
