Will photograph you in the Phoenix East Valley (Chandler, Gilbert, Tempe, Mesa, Scottsdale).
The lucky winner will receive up to two hours of on-location shooting. Between 5-10 hi-res images, fully post-processed on CD. Think Senior pictures!

















Oh man! I could really use someone else taking our pictures. I take most of the pictures. Not so many shots of me. The other day I asked my husband to take a picture of me laying on the couch, snuggling with my sick baby. He took a few shots and then realized there was no memory card in the camera. By the time he was able to find the card, my baby was sitting up instead of snuggling. Help!
My sweet hubby and I are celebrating 12 years of marriage this year and I’d love to have some great shots of just US as a couple. We have not had a fab picture together since our wedding…almost a DOZEN years ago (needless to say, we’ve changed a bit).

My mother is battling stage 4 lung cancer and I would love for her and my dad. who just celebrated 40 years of marriage, to have a wonderful photo shoot of them together. This would be a wonderful gift for them.

Who doesn’t want to win a free photo session with a great photographer? Here’s to crossing my fingers & toes!
Oh how I’d love to have an actual photographer capture memories for my family, and have me on the other side of the camera for once. My biggest fear, is after all the time and energy I spend on taking photos and scrapbooking for my family, that some day in the future they will ask, “where was mom in all of this?”. I’m never in the photo. Never. My husband and I were high school sweethearts, now married for 10 years with 3 awesome kids. That’s alot of scrapbooks that I’m missing out of, even though my love is on the pages that I’ve created.
Winning this would put me in the memories, not just my labor on them.

I would love to get some photos. My husband is currently in Iraq for the 3rd time and it would be so fun to send him some photos of our little girl. Thanks for putting on this giveaway!!
Amazing photographs… my husband and I are celebrating our 15th anniversary this summer… and I would love to ‘capture’ our family at this moment in time…. all of us… not the three of them with momma behind the lens… Thanks!

I actually live in Yuma, but our children & grandchildren are in Scottsdale. Would happily meet up with them for a photo-shoot. I can just see the Christmas cards now!
I currently live in ga however my mom and sister live in Mesa, Glibert Az. I will be visiting them in June and would love to get a great photo shoot with them. I only get out there every few years so it would be a great gift to them.
Thanks

We are moving to Gilbert from Texas this month and I would live to have photos of our family in our new area! This is a scary/exciting time for us, and I would live to have family pictures to document it all!
Hoping to win….fun fancy fotos from famous fotagrapher!! ;~)
Would love to win a photo shoot. I’m six months pregnant with our first baby. That would be a nice moment to be captured. Thanks for the opportunity!
Thanks for this chance to get our first professional family photo. Our girls are ages 5 and 7 and would be great fun for all of us doing the shoot. We live in Gilbert so my sister- in-law from CA saw this and emailed me about this opportunity. Thanks!
Pick me! I need someone who can capture my (3-2 boys +1hubby) and I in a photo together:)
I actually live in the western part of the state, but would love to come to the city for a photo shoot!
i would love to have pictures of my family. thanks for doing this!
We have never had an extended family photo shoot so we’d love to do this!
Please pick us! I’d love to have pictures with my children and grand-babies. Thank you!
I am 37 weeks pregnant with our 3rd child. We would love to have a family portrait taken. We haven’t had our family photographed in a few years so this would be a true blessing. Thank you!!!
Beautiful pictures. I would love to have an updated picture of my family. Especially since we have added another child to our bunch. Thanks for doing this!
I would love to get family pictures taken of my 16 month old son, husband and I. My husband has been deployed for 12 months so we have never got the chance to get family pictures taken.
I would love to get portraits taken of my boyfriend and I. We’re now officially halfway done with medical school and have talked about getting pictures taken to help commemorate our journey through school together and our path towards one day journeying through life together. However, the lack of finances that goes along with both being long-term students has prevented this from happening. I think it would be incredibly special to have successive portraits documenting our lives together… from dating through engagement, marriage, children, anniversaries, grandchildren, etc.
Oh, how I’d love to win this photo shoot! It’s been many years since I got a family picture. It’s always me behind the lens, and my scrapbooks are filled with pictures of my family minus me. Please pick me!
We would love for you to photograph our family, we have never had a professional picture taken of all of us. We have two daughters 10 and 13 and would love to capture us all together before they get too grown up.
Thanks so much, Sara.
Wow! We just had our a beautiful baby in April so now all our fam pics are out of date! Ryan does great work- here’s to hoping we win.
I would love to have photos taken of me and the kids( twin 1 year olds and 6/8 year olds) ..I am always behind the camera. We live in the West Valley but would def be willing to drive and meet up for a photo session.
What fun and creative photos. I love them. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I love finding new AZ photographers! We haven’t had a “generation” photo done since my 8 year old son was 1 years old and he was the only grandchild. My parent’s now have 6 grandkids and two step-grands. I photo shoot for ALL of us would be fabulous. My brother works up in Maricopa so we are in the area at least once a month.
I would love to win a photoshoot although I can’t say I have any dire circumstances that would put me in a ‘hands down’ competition to win. We don’t have any health issues, we are not at risk of losing our home or anything tragic. I’m just married to an amazing man who hates taking pictures. LOL. Therefore, getting pictures of my small family of 3, just never happens. My only ailment is that I live with an ongoing longing, a distant desire to have good quality, sophisticated pictures like the kind posted all over this blog. Here’s to a sliver of hope in winning…
In 2006, after five long years of praying for a child, our son was born and we were blessed to be chosen as his parents through the miracle of adoption. Three years and one week later, we witnessed many miracles coming together for us to be able to adopt our baby girl. We got the call one afternoon and were on a plane the next morning across the country. There were complications with the adoption, and we ended up stuck in Michigan for two weeks before we could bring her home to meet her adoring big brother. Because of the situation and all the expenses incurred with travel, etc., we missed getting newborn pictures and still haven’t been able to afford family pictures of our happy little family of four. Our daughter turns 9 months old tomorrow and I can’t believe we still don’t have a family picture. We would be so happy for the opportunity. Thank you for being willing to share your talents!
It has been a few years since I’ve had family photos done and would love the chance to include our little boy in the photos around the house.
I take decent pictures – if only I could clone myself so as to include myself in the family photo. In lieu of that, a photoshoot would be awesome.
Samantha, St. David, AZ (yes, willing to drive up)
We’d love to win a photo shoot! Our youngest just turned 1, and I think we have two snapshots with all 5 of us in the same photo. Would love a fabulous photo of all 5 of us! And some great ones of the kids!
We just moved to Arizona and would love to document this “new” adventure in our lives! We are in Yuma, but would definately make the drive to Phoenix.
Pick me!

Good Morning, your webpage design is really cool. I like how all the elements have been placed, and how the page is structured so that it looks good.
Lets see if I can comment on this with my new itouch…
My sister-in-law, rachel, is getting married in October. Their budget is pretty much non-existant. She is gorgeous, and completely down to earth. Instead of complaining about her “low-budget”, she is happily helping, and planning her own wedding. She is the sweetest, sassy, fun loving girl you will ever meet. I would love for her to win a photoshoot with her man, and at least get a couple pictures for memories.
she is located in queen creek.
thanks for considering her.
*if you want to see a picture of the gorgeous couple… send me an email, and you can see first hand how beautiful they will make in your portfolio. ♥
thanks again

Hmmmz, I’ve just read something of this nature on another site.
Definitely believe everything you stated. Your explanation was certainly the easiest to recognise. I say to you, I usually get irked when folks discuss issues that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail directly on the pinnacle and explained out everything without complication. Maybe, people can take an indication. May be back to obtain additional. Thanks.
That is some inspirational stuff. Never knew that opinions could be this varied. Thanks for all the enthusiasm to offer such helpful information here.
