I must have been 5 years old. This memory very vivid I’m surprised I recall this much. I was playing dress-up (or dress-down depending on how you want to look at it) in my mom’s silky, Chinese adorned, bathrobe—slippers included. Precariously pressing my slender fingers up to the glass, the giant bubble accumulating fog, blocking...

DIY Fave Day – Something Scrumptious
Found this really cool post for a Do It Yourself goodie idea and have to share this with my eco-savvy brides. How about scrumptious Cupcakes in a Jar??!
My love for mason jars has become even more obvious to me over the last few weeks and there are so many neat ways to incorporate jars into...
Wish for a Dad
It was this time last year and well, I guess every time before then. It goes back to as far as I can remember.
One of the most meaningful gifts I’ve ever asked for is for a dad. Someone who was an admirable father figure in my life and one I could confide in when advice...
Butter Toast Boutique|Fashion Show
My girls at Butter Toast Boutique participated in the Grand Ave Festival fashion show in downtown Phoenix over the weekend. They had invited me to go behind the scenes and do a bit of shooting which I gladly accepted and ran with. I absolutely love working with these models and shooting fashion! I’ve had a...
Bat Sighting
I decided to have some fun and since I’m not afraid of rats, snakes, scorpions, or anything remotely creepy (aside from spiders), I’d go have some fun watching several thousand Mexican free-tailed bats emerge from their day roost under the Maricopa county Flood Control Tunnel near 40th st and Camelback. Thanks to the Arizona Game...

Storm Chaser
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing! My first dramatic rain storm. I was headed down the 17 with a friend of mine when we saw this gold sunset in the distance. There was no place to pull over and the distance between exits put a damper on the our excitement as we had no...
Arizona Sunset
This had to be one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve seen here since moving from Massachusetts 7 months ago.
It brought back the artist in me and my love of abstract imagery.
Butter Toast 80s Fashion
Had a blast in Paisley Town near downtown Phoenix the other night (more like two weeks ago as I was having issues with WordPress). If you haven’t checked out the vintage clothing store, Butter Toast Boutique, I highly recommend it if you’re looking for something unique to wear. Traci and Jasmine hosted their first fashion...
Why I do what I do
I met a very sweet, old man a few weeks ago. His name is Lee. He owns a small cactus shop up at the Goldfield Ghost Town near the Apache Junction. I went in to his shop in search of some cute cacti to bring home and we struck up a conversation about how we...
