Casandra's Quinceanera

It's a beautiful thing when people come together to celebrate

a young girl's quinceanera

especially when you can see how happy her heart is

in honoring the tradition of her church & family

I love that Casandra wore her the same white boots

that her mom wore to her own wedding

Such a sweet gesture

It was a heartwarming day - big thanks to Lorraine & Gibby Salazar and the Westrope Family!

Hayden, Arizona - JAVA Magazine

Earlier this summer, some of my pictures 

from a photo session in my hometown 

were published in Java Magazine. 

We shot all around town

Under the new bridge & at the bluff in Winkelman

with the Gila River running behind us

We shot on Main St, in front of the old theater in Hayden 

with the sound of the shift change siren, work trucks passing by

We shot at the stairs and at the cross in San Pedro

with the smell of the desert taking us back to when 

we hiked our prayers up the mountain as kids

While I was thrilled to see several pictures

 featured in JAVA, 

there were a few shots that didn't get published 

that I can't help share with my little crown blog readers 

This was a very special shoot

 I will treasure these pics. 

Special thanks to: 

Robert Sentinery of JAVA 

Janifer Modesty for hanging tough with us  

Adrien Corona for not being too shy

Janette Amparano for being my right hand lady

Tina Nunez for the awesome clothes (DAG Fashions)

Eddie Gutierrez for his sweet ride

Gia Lagunas for a place to sleep (always)

Jonathon Rabago for taking care of us on the trail

Gold Canyon Wedding - Breanne & James

Life is an adventure 

Twists & turns may lead us to places unexpected

But distance can never separate two hearts

that are meant to be

Up up and away...

It's wonderful to see a family

celebrate that buzzing, beautiful time

of being together, 

at last. 

Thank you Breanne & James, for letting me be a witness to your love.

Stay tuned for family pics.. :)
