The pile of unpacked boxes is heaping outside of my garage.  Signs of progress, thankfully.   I keep trying to reorganize them to better stacks, but what’s really the point when they are just going to go out to the road.  No more moving, right??   I am not in love with where I put […]

I have grown to love photographing this family over the past year.  I have seen them three different times.  And I love that Kyle knows me now and give me hugs freely and I also love watching little man Josiah grow up right in front of my eyes.  Those blue eyes of his are so […]

I have known Mark nearly my whole life.  We grew up on the same street until I was in middle school.  We used to play together all the time with all the neighborhood kids.  Kickball in our teeny front yard.  Swimming in the little plastic pools.  We were an interesting bunch of kids. . . […]

Don’t be fooled. . . I have had blog posts for the past week and will continue to have ones in the next couple of days. . . all of which were written a couple of weeks ago and scheduled to post automatically.  I have not been sitting in front of my computer writing posts […]

It makes me so happy when my good friends have me take pictures of their family.  So photographing Katie and her family feel more like fun instead of work.  I have grown to love them so much the past couple of years and miss Katie terribly since her son and my son go to preschool […]

This little guy was all boy.  He ran around and collected rocks the entire session.  Something neither of my boys did, so it’s kind of fun to watch how intriguing rocks can be to someone.   And I don’t know what it is with dimples the past couple of months, but man have I seen […]

Look at this gorgeous little girl I got to photograph during one of my mini-sessions.  She has an incredible smile, complete with a little dimple.  Mini-sessions have pros and they have cons.  The biggest pro is that they are just the right amount of time for most kids.  After about 15-20 minutes, most of the […]

I had one last minute opening for my mini-sessions and I’m so glad this family hopped in the spot!  It was fun to have a group of “older” kids.  I didn’t have to chase anyone around or talk in silly voices.   And this adorable couple below? . . . I will be shooting their […]

I have loved getting to know this little family.  I have done two full sessions with them already, so I am happy to call them regular clients 🙂  That always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.   I was thrilled that Lisa brought her sister and her family along as well.  She wanted to […]

Brayden is at the age where he is beginning to understand what you might not ever see this person again means.  And I feel terribly about it when it comes to Chase, who lives across the street.  It’s sort of like having a built in playmate.  And Brayden adores him.   Right now, they are in […]
