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

Family/Engagement Session - Tempe, Arizona

We shot this session in record time

We were racing against rain clouds and we won

(though we did get drenched on the way out)

I was so happy to do these pics for Steve, Sarah 

and their handsome little guy

Can't wait until their wedding this fall

Thank you Steve & Sarah!

Family Session - Back at the ranch, Aravaipa

The San Pedro river keeps things much cooler 

at the Arbizo ranch than here in the pavement covered city

They also have chickens and horses and I bet 

a night sky filled with a million stars 

I think I need a ranch.

Until I get one of my own though, I'll have to settle for 

glimpses of country life when doing pictures for this posse - 

and I don't mind at all :) 

Handsome brothers

Tough little cookie of a cowgirl

Beautiful!

The kids must have so much fun growing up here

:)

Thank you Regina & J.R. for inviting me out

again for your family pictures!
