We’re packing up Rocket and heading for the beach. I’m busting at the seams excited to shoot Josh & Courtney’s Mission Bay wedding on Saturday and amazing photographer and friend Melissa Koehler’s family on Sunday. Squeel! California here I come, right back where I started from!

neighborhood ministries

Neighborhood Ministries is a non-profit organization that provides support and household items for distressed families of urban Phoenix. Last night a fire destroyed a building that housed a whole year’s worth of their collected donations. Items such as cribs, clothing, toys, bedding and more are desperately needed to help provide for the hurting families this amazing organization serves. My friend Karis Murray, of Family Matters and Candid Motherhood is hosting a donation drive this Saturday, June 19th in Scottsdale. I’ll be sifting through my garage, linen closets, over-stuffed toy chests, cupboards, and dresser drawers… and I thought I’d call out to my friends and family to do the same. If you have items you’re willing to donate, please see the information below. Let’s link arms and help replenish their loss…
