I never want to life a day without being grateful for the gifts that God has given.  It was His plan for my life to be a photographer at this moment. . . maybe not in five years.  Or in ten years.  But right now, in this moment, I have an awesome privilege that I […]

It was about 9:30 when I remembered that I hadn’t taken out my camera yet.  Coffe, Craft and Conversation: November Edition was well underway and some of our I must go to bed before 10 pm friends had already left.  I feel bad that we didn’t get everyone into the group picture.  But there’s always […]

I had so many incredibly awesome clients for my fall sessions this year.  I love that so many people were getting into the sessions, really putting thought into outfits and details. This little family did a great job.  We were doing a session for Paige, the cute little one year old in the photos. . […]

Someone called me this morning who I’ve never hung out with before.  She asked if I wanted to go to the zoo.  We know their family from church–it was refreshing to hang out with someone new.  She was very sweet, and our kids got along great.  Brayden already knew Olivia from Sunday school.  Carter on […]

Shooting this session was incredible.  It was like a little bit of Christmas in October, and I loved it.  I love when I have never seen the children that I will be photographing before and then they all spill out of the van looking like they are straight from a magazine.  Their momma did a […]

All I had to do was look at her to make her smile. . . forget having to make a fool of myself to try to get a reaction for the camera.  She was enthralled by my basket of apples.  She rocked her little pettiskirt.  And she brought some delicious October sunlight with her to […]

There she is.  The SOLD sign adorning our front lawn–a reminder that God is faithful in completing whatever plan he begins, even if it is a plan that seemingly doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.  A house is a house is a house, right?  It may seem trivial that we are packing up […]

This was the second family that was gung ho about shooting their session at an orchard.  Four. Boys.   I almost died when they took off their coats and hats. . . they were all so adorable in their little sweaters and dress shirts.   These little guys may have squabbles and get annoyed with […]

We had a playdate with a friend this morning.  We had no plan–we hopped in our cars and drove until we ended up at the beach.  We had nothing prepared for the beach, but we still had a great time.  And after we played, our kids all layed down on our blankets and took naps, […]

I had the opportunity to do two family session this autumn at an orchard.  I’ve always wanted to use an orchard, but to be honest, my clients sometimes seem hesitant at the idea.  They think their kids may be distracted, maybe they aren’t really sure how exactly it would work have a session at one […]
