You ever just meet a complete stranger and feel like you’ve been friends for longer than a few minutes?

Well, that’s certainly how I felt when Bailey and I crossed paths! By a stroke of luck I got to work with her because one of my close friends was unable to last minute. The plan was to shoot in the Phoenix area (on the west side) and do graduation photos and some couples photos of her and her boyfriend Ryan. Bailey was all smiles when we met up in the beautiful Arizona desert. Her and Ryan are from Fort Collins, Colorado but came to Arizona so Bailey could work on her degrees. Ryan has a degree in finance and Bailey studied business and marketing – talk about a power couple! If I ever need business advice I know who I’m going to.

The evening was full of cuddling, loving, dancing and me telling Bailey she was Beyonce way too many times. I absolutely adored this session and I couldn’t wait to get home and edit the photos.

And if you’re ever in a bind for a Phoenix graduation or couples photographer, seriously…hit me up because if this taught me anything, it’s that these last minute things have the potential for some serious magic.
