Chanelle

Posted in portraits | senior photos

Cristi Owen

This session was so great! Chanelle is a high school senior at Marcos de Niza and when she called me to do her session she asked for pictures that are not your typical boring high school senior photos. I couldn’t be happier! She was so awesome and up for anything, which made for a really fun afternoon together.

She reminds of Julianne Hughes (from Dancing with the Stars).


Chanelle’s boyfriend came along with her so we got a few of them together too:


Love this one:

LOVE this one too:



So many of her pictures looked like they could be a cd cover!

Chanelle, you were so great, I really enjoyed getting to meet you. Oh by the way I went and bought the same scarf – slightly different color! Thank you! I hope you enjoy these :)

Rachelle & Jordan

Posted in engagement photos

Cristi Owen

I need to start out by thanking these two for an amazing afternoon together. You guys were so great! I can’t wait to get to hang out with you two again! Rachelle & Jordan are getting married next year in the middle of the desert – literally! So, we started our day at the Botanical Desert Garden and then headed over to Tempe for some extra fun shots. However, I should warn you (just as they warned me) that they are extremely camera shy.

Meet supermodel Rachelle Harris:

It was a super windy day:

So much fun! I hope you love your images :)

      Great job Cristi! I love the backlit one on the bridge (where they are dancing) and also the BW with the cacti layered in the front of the image. Nice colors they chose and beautiful couple! You keep rocking it girl!

      Cristi, I just want to thank you again for being such a pleasure to work with. You made Jordan and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera. I just love, love, love them all but my favorite one would be the b&w with the cactus in front. You really captured the moment with all of them. Thank you lots.

Katie & Dario – 2nd shooting for Jen Bowen

Posted in wedding

Cristi Owen

A couple of weeks ago I had another opportunity to second shoot for Jennifer Bowen. Thank you, Jen! Katie & Dario’s wedding took place in the Frank Lloyd Wright U-Haul home. It was amazing!
Here’s beautiful Katie:

So sweet:

Married!

Katie’s ring was so unique:

The DJ was awesome and everyone had such a great time!

I love it that Dario is playing with his brand-new ring here:

And I perfect night that ends with cake is almost too good to be true:

Rice & Suzanne

Posted in portraits

Cristi Owen

You may remember Suzanne from the photoshoot I did with her and some of her kids a few weeks back. We had a great time then, so I was super excited when she called me to schedule a shoot for her and her boyfriend Rice.
They were so sweet together:
I think this one is my favorite:

I wasn’t going to post this, but it’s just so sweet I couldn’t help it:

We also did lots of Rice on his own for his website. You see Rice is (wait! grab a tissue!) is moving away from Suzanne. He’s going to San Diego. So even though I had a great time with them, I was a little sad throughout the shoot knowing that I was capturing some of their last moments together.

You guys were amazing and I hope to see you again. Together.

Last Friday I met up with Ariel and Michael for their engagement session. We had such a great time! 

One of their favorite hobbies is reading (and apparently kissing too):

Michael was the news editor for State Press while attending ASU:


They are getting married next year on October 17th:


Thank you so much you two for a great afternoon. I hope you love your photos!
