Baby Sophie was just a few days old here, and her parents warned me she was a stinker.  She probably wont sleep.. we will probably have a difficult time   well Sophie passed right out and let me position her like a champ.  She was so sweet and easy to work with, it was a joy.  Thank you to her parents for trusting me to capture these precious moments.. they dont last long and it is so wonderful that we were able to capture her tiny moments! My sister made me some of the props.. so let me know if you are interested and I can pass along her info

Teaunee and I go way back, I think way back to 4th grade was it?  We were both involved int he Cheer and Pom dance lines at our high school.  When I ran into her at our high school reunion, it was so great to see her so happy, standing next to Fran.  I knew he had to be a great guy cause Tea looked so happy with him.  After spending an afternoon hiking in high heals, getting stabbed by cacti, loosing flip flops and being spooked by the creepy animal sounds coming from nearby, I can say that Fran is one awesome guy.  I can see how much he cares for and loves Tea.  Congratulations you guys and THANK YOU for asking me to be a part of this special day in your lives.  Join Us on Facebook to see more

jA - Yes, she looks like a cheerleader :D Awesome pics-how exciting...lovely RING!!!

So you read about, mostly  in romance novels, the type of love that you just cant keep your hands off each other.  Where rainbows beam out your eyes when your partner touches you, and bluebirds are always singing outside your window!  I had the chance of witnessing, first hand last night, that this type of love really does exist.  Where men carry around our over sized and over stuffed Gold Marc Jocobs bags and don’t complain, and kiss their wives passionately and mean it.  Heather and Max, you are adorable!  I had so much fun with you guys last night, and I am so happy just thinking of photographing your wedding.  A beautiful couple on the inside and out who found each other and are madly in love.. there is nothing more this life can offer than the companionship of a true soul  mate.. you are lucky my friends.  See you soon!  Oh and Max took the one of me pretending to be a munchkin

Heather - We can not thank you enough Justine! That was so much fun! Thank you for being such an amazing photographer, making us laugh, and letting us make-out all over the Botanical Gardens. Looking forward to seeing you at the wedding. :) Heather

Some of you may recognize Brady and Dana from their engagement session.  Brady and I went to elementary school together and it is funny how we ran into each other so many years later in an elevator at one of Dana’s friends’ wedding.  I am happy I had that chance encounter and was able to be a part of Brady and Dana’s celebration at Sunridge Canyon in Fountain Hills.  The views were spectacular and the crowd was fun, what more can one ask from a wedding.. Oh yeah.. and the bride and groom are sickeningly cute!!!  Congrats to you both, and wishes for a WONDERFUL life together and many more blue eyes babies in this world

The story is funny, now that I look back on it, but man were we ticked off last night!  Let me rewind a tad and go to the beginning.  Drew is an old friend from high school, and I met his fiance Gina at our 10 year high school reunion… don’t try to figure my age.. I will never admit it.  Gina and I hit it off immediately and when she asked me to photograph their wedding I was so excited.  Gina is into photography herself, and I see so many of the same traits I had when I began in Gina.  I knew I wanted to help her grow as much as my schedule allowed, so Gina began coming along with me to photo shoots, helping me in any way she could.  Now Gina has her own photography business and I am so proud of her!  I am so lucky to have met a wonderful friend along this journey that brought us to last night, and I am thankful that I was standing at the closed gates of boojum tree with such good friends.  Yes I said CLOSED gates!!  Gina and Drew had chosen the Boojum Tree Hidden Garden for their engagement session, she had called and reserved a space and paid their deposit, so we were shocked when we pulled up to the gates and they were closed and locked for the night!  We called, no one answered, and so we decided to head over to the JW Marriott for some photos.  We had no idea if we would be allowed on property, but with the sun setting and time running out,  we were prepared to ask for forgiveness over permission.  Below are what transpired from the evening.  I really must say, I am happy that we had to go off course.  The pics came out sooo amazing, and I am happy that it was Gina I was standing with at those gates.  I can’t wait for your wedding!   I honestly consider you a wonderful friend of mine Gina.. tell Drew to take care of my grasshopper or I will get very angry

Gina - Justine! I just love you, your work and everything you have done to help me. You are an inspiration and I am truly grateful for your presence in my life. You continue to go above and beyond for Drew and me and we are so in love with the photos. Thank you so much for being an amazing teacher and friend!

Mrs Kim - OMG - If they look this HOT just for their engagement photos, I can't WAIT to see how hot they are going to look on their wedding day!! AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!!!
