{Timeless} Mesa, AZ Wedding Photographer

“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.”
― William Shakespeare

Just had to post a sneak picture from the lovely wedding from yesterday. These two lovely women have been friends since well, forever. I have learned so much from both and watching the love they have for each other.

{As the cookie crumbles} Traveling Lifestyle and Fine Art Photographer

"You're never as good as everyone tells you when you win, and you're never as bad as they say when you lose."
— Lou Holtz

Have you ever had one of these days,weeks,months, summers where the cookie just does not just crumble but is smashed in half by a sledge hammer.... I have but, as crazy as it sounds, enjoy them as much as the days where you bite into a wonderful fresh cookie and a enjoy a nice cup of coffee with and the sky is the limit. These moments break you down, open you up and make you stronger (wishy washy former school counselor warning...)
I wanted to update my clients and friends that I will be back in Minneapolis September 19th through most of October. I also continue to appreciate the patience as I catch up on back photographs from previous and currrent clients.
Please let me know if you are interested in a future session. I am booking fast and if last year is any indication, winter started mid-October...oye!
More updates to follow.
Til then I hope when I return I don't bring the rain and clouds....I seem to do that these days.

Calvin: Ha! I've got a great word and it's on a "Double word score" box!
Hobbes: "ZQFMGB" isn't a word! It doesn't even have a vowel!
Calvin: It is so a word! It's a worm found in New Guinea! Everyone knows that!
Hobbes: I'm looking it up.
Calvin: You do, and I'll look up that 12-letter word you played with all the Xs and Js!
Hobbes: What's your score for ZQFMGB?
Calvin: 957."

This locations was taken in downtown Mesa at the convention center area.

Hope to see and meet you soon!
