A favorite from a family session way back when with and her sweet crew. Their beautiful house set such an architecturally stunning vibe as a backdrop for this beautiful family.

Spring is a great time to update your headshot images. Scroll through for some inspiration from a few lovely faces I’ve had the pleasure to have in front of my camera. Find the link to my website in my bio or send me a DM here. ✨💕✨💕

To choose softness in a world that worships the unyielding is an act of quiet rebellion. It is strength wrapped in grace, the courage to love when it’s easier to close, to feel when it’s safer to numb.
For softness is not surrender - it’s the gentle, unshakeable power of a heart that refuses to harden.
- Olivia Ann Rose

Beautiful, quiet moment from a family session at Boyce Thompson 💛 I’ve photographed this family for years and it’s always a really kind of magical moment to see how much the kids (teenagers now) grow and change year to year. That’s a fun perk of returning family clients ❤️

1/2 posts of Claire and her sweet family. I have so many sessions to share here and I thought this was a great one to start with. I loved this beautiful, extended at home session with so many lovely people.
I’ve been thinking a lot of Spring family sessions. Here in Phoenix, Spring is a great time for outdoor sessions. Places are actually green for a moment. Flowers bloom. The weather is nice. The popular shooting spots aren’t as crowded as they are in the Fall. Life tends to be a little slower in the Spring vs Fall, as well. Something to think about - if you’d like to get your family photos in before the race to the holidays begins, I think that could be fun. Then it’s one less thing to do when the rush of holiday season is upon us.

We’re back from our Christmas break travels. 3384 miles flown and driven. Hearts and minds are tired and heavy and missing everyone, but we had a lovely time. I have to console the kids every time we get back from visiting family. It’s hard to leave for them, too. I have lots more to share, but for now this sweet pic of my mom, Sloane, and my sister’s dog, Eve 💕If you’re waiting on images from me, I’m working on all of them now 🥰 Thank you for your patience, my beautiful clients and friends!

There’s a softness I crave that doesn’t exist in the desert. Everything here is sharp and hard and venomous and seemingly out to get us. You adapt, I suppose, to the brutality of a desert and become what you are surrounded by to survive. But I don’t want to be hard and sharp and unapproachable. I want softness. Yes, come lay on this cool, soft grass. Yes, come touch the soft leaves of the tree. Yes, let the clouds cover the harshness of the sun for a bit. Yes, let the snow drown out the sounds of everything so our bodies can rest and restore. Let me succumb to the softness of a world I long for every day. Let me see a furry, soft squirrel out of my window and not a giant scorpion on my window ledge. I especially crave that stillness, that softness, that comfort this time of year. There’s a magic in the silence of a cold, snowy night. I have to create that within somehow. My kids help me do that. They encourage me to never give up hope, to keep dreaming, and that we have the magic within to create anything we want. So, I’m going to listen to them and keep dreaming and creating. We’re off to the Midwest soon to visit all of our family. We’re incredibly excited and hope to see snow. I’ll be back in early January to get at any work anyone may be waiting on me for. Merry Christmas, all. May this new year bring all of your dreams to life 🎄🌟🎄🌟🎄🌟🎄🌟

What I love about this session is how authentically ‘them’ it is. No one else’s image is going to look quite like this. That’s the real beauty of an at home session. Mom’s going to knock all our socks off serving this look while the kids are going to get messy and dirty and play and laugh and yell and fight and fall out of trees and get splinters and it’s all going to be magical. All of this happened at this session and it all created a beautiful, authentic story. Their story - in all its mess and beauty. I want to tell your story, The Right Now. What is happening in the right now of your life? Don’t you want to always remember these moments? I sure do. Always.

There are so many images that I want to share with you. I’ve been unintentionally stock piling photos from all the sessions I’ve been shooting in between my 9-5. But now that I’m back to being just a self-employed person, I can find more time for posts like this. These quiet moments during sessions are some of my favorites. Sweet little Margo was so done with having her photo taken and just really needed to eat her Halloween candy. And I respect her for that. We all deserve a little treat every single day.

Who wants to hire me?!

If you have any upcoming photo needs, I’ve all the sudden been given more free time - aka - I was canned from my corporate photo job. Say la vie. Yes, I cried about it because it was shocking and I need income and insurance and I’ll miss my sweet coworkers. But I am fully taking this as a gift to move on to things better aligned with my visions and aspirations. I’m excited for what lies ahead.

I’m open to exploring new things, too. So if you know me and know anyone hiring for something that feels like a good fit for me, please reach out. And please reach out even if you don’t really know me but know of any job openings.

THANK YOU. And thank you, forever and always, to my clients I have and have had with Agnes Art and Photo. You’ve given me the opportunity to provide for my family doing something I love. I am forever and ever grateful to you. My photo business isn’t going away anytime soon, FYI. But, as those in the industry know, it isn’t always possible to make enough money to live and provide for a family (especially here) on a freelance photographer’s salary. Which is why I took on a corporate photo job in the first place - to have insurance and steady income to pay for life while also still running Agnes Art and Photo. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Funny things happen to you when you become a mom. Your heart multiples with every child. It's just out there, attached forever, to this other person who you would do anything and everything for. You become the most fierce warrior goddess and the softest, most fragile version of yourself you could ever imagine all at the same time, the instant they are born. Both live inside me, side by side, every single day. I will go to the ends of the earth to provide the most beautiful, fulfilling life possible for these two. They deserve to experience that - as we all do - with our short time on this planet. And I'll continue to do my best to be a good example of how to create that for yourself and help others along the way.

Life updates. I’ve been MIA. I’ve not felt like sharing. I’ve not felt like seeing what’s happening around me. I’ve not felt inspired or social. Maybe I sound like a broken record to some, but acceptance takes time. And I’ve dipped into an overwhelming sense of not understanding and a bit of defeat. It doesn’t make sense. But I have to accept that.
In the meantime, my baby boy turned SEVEN!!! We had himself a real good time.
Simultaneously, there’s been so much goodness weaved into the grief. Just over here swimming in the emotional soup - beauty and pain getting to know one another. I’ve stepped into a full-time photographer roll for a local company. I’ll keep my business because I love it and my clients. That’s been a huge change that fills a lot of my time. It’s a positive shift needed in this time of my life. 
And through all the uncertainty and upheaval, I’ve rediscovered the most beautiful love. I’ve found my way back to someone I let go of years ago. Someone who had been a huge part of my life since I was 15.  It’s something so special and sacred to me that I’ve been hesitant to share it with the world, like the world’s too cruel a place to share with it this much love and magic, but that’s the exact reason to share it - to add some light. 
Just when you think you’re done with love, fully prepared for cat lady status, it comes rushing in; in a way that you couldn’t have seen coming. We have the kind of connection that no matter how many years pass without talking or seeing one another and you still feel like no one else in the whole world understands you like this person and like no time has passed at all. Your hearts and souls are like magnets. It’s immeasurable and indescribable, this love. 
But I’ve been hesitant to share even a tiny bit of that because I see woman after woman being attacked on social media for opening her heart and sharing the joy that comes from new love after a divorce. (Note - I don’t see this happening to divorced men, FYI). Cont’d in comments…
