Loved this couple! They are expecting their first baby girl in a
couple of weeks. Jennifer makes pregnancy look beautiful.
The orange groves are so gorgeous this time of year.
And the smell…heavenly. I can’t wait to meet this new baby girl!










Nat and I met in 6th grade.
We became besties in Junior High when
ties, buttons covers, and applique cow sweatshirts were
all the rage. She moved to Gilbert freshman year of high school and
attended Highland High the first year it opened. I stayed in Phoenix and went to
Paradise Valley High School. Somehow we stayed friends even though
we lived so far. We would spend weekends at each other’s houses and even vacation with
each other’s families. We were each other’s bridesmaids and I was in the delivery
room the day her oldest, Brigham, was born. We now, after about 15 years, FINALLY live
in Gilbert, minutes from Highland High School. This year our daughter’s started
6th grade together and are in the same class, and quickly becoming besties.
Full circle…..Now I feel old. Happy Birthday Nat!

























Jay is crazy and kept us on our toes and laughing throughout this whole family portrait session. Amber had the
kiddos styled perfectly. She did a great job of having everybody coordinate without being too matchy matchy. That
must not be a word, since it was underlined in red as I typed, but you get my point. Right?
I love to shoot at DC Ranch Marketplace in North Scottsdale. When a client wants cool walls and not so much the field look
I always try to talk them into this place. It is a bit far from Gilbert, but so worth the trek in my opinion.
There is so much variety and I love all the textures of the different walls. Plus, right around the time
the session is wapping up, you can smell the yummy Grimaldi’s pizza! A Dr. Pepper and a slice
of Grimaldi’s for the long drive home….YUM.
Thanks Ray family!
