"THE GIRLS" - BOUDOIR SESSION

Last week a past client contacted us inquiring about a boudoir session as a gift to her husband for their 1 year anniversary. Our "boudoir" sessions are a little different in that, in addition to the normal studio/lingerie photos that one typically thinks of with this type of shoot, we also photograph what we call "environmental figure studies". In other words, we photograph nudes within the context of the landscape. These are meant more as fine art images and are usually printed in Black & White though occasionally we will produce some in color.

We set up the shoot for this past Monday and before long she had two other friends on board wanting photos for their significant others. This shoot was so much fun! The girls were completely comfortable and really had fun with it ... which is how this type of shoot should be. We all had a great time and to anyone considering one of these shoots, let us know ... we love doing them :-)!

AMANDA AND TONY - ENGAGEMENT SESSION

This past Sunday we met with Amanda and Tony to photograph their engagement session. They will be having their wedding in Sedona at Los Abrigados in May and we can't wait. They were so much fun to work with (as was their sweet Golden Retriever, Butters) and as you can see, they make a lovely couple.

We started the shoot at Snowbowl. We were in search of wildflowers though and the top of the mountain is starting to die out for the season, so after grabbing a few shots we headed down the I-17. This is not where you would typically think of finding beautiful wildflowers, but there is a very large pasture near Munds Park that is drawing crowds of photographers for its magnificent display of yellow flowers. Due to the great snows we had this past winter, this field has exploded into a giant yellow carpet of flowers the likes of which we have not seen before ... an amazing photo opp! From there we went to Merry-Go-Round Rock to finish up. Amanda and Tony live in Tucson and had never been this far north, so it was a nice excuse to show them around a bit. Thanks guys and we look forward to May 2nd!

KRISSY AND ADAM WEDDING - THE AMARA, SEDONA

This past Saturday we photographed Krissy and Adam's wedding at the Amara Resort & Spa in Sedona. We have to start off by saying that by far, Krissy was one of the most "expressive" brides we have ever worked with! Her laughter is infectious and her smile just makes everyone happy :-).

It was a warm, beautiful day and all details couldn't have been more perfect! One highlight was the slideshow that was presented during their reception. We love watching these as you really gain insight into the couple's lives individually and together. Notice too, the photo by the fire pit. This is one of the coolest features of the Amara and we always love using it for a great photo opp. Krissy and Adam, it was so good getting to know you both ... we had a great time! Perhaps you will end up back in Flag one of these days (they live in Washington right now) :-). Enjoy!
