Olivia is beautiful.  She came for her session and spent the first fifteen minutes a bit on the I’m petrified of this lady who is sticking a camera in my face side.  Slowly, but surely, she warmed up, and she was just the most precious thing ever, with her gorgeous smile and her laughter.  Her momma […]

This week I really struggled with something.  In the grand scheme of things, it wasn’t a big deal.  But it was a big deal to me.  The past two years I have traveled to Las Vegas for the largest photography conference in the nation.  It was life changing.  I left both years full of motivation […]

Jackson was a peanut.  He was born two weeks early.  He was perfect and he had a big brother, who was actually a dog named Chewy who got in on the action a little bit.  Jackson’s mommy stated that she liked ears on hats, so many of the hats we put on Jackson had ears of […]

Last night I had my monthly craft night with some of my lovely friends.  My dear friend Christy asked me how I did everything that I do–she jokingly made fun of me while saying that I “do it all”. . . stay at home with the kids, run my own business, sew things, rearrange rooms […]

This little man was born on Valentine’s Day last year, and I’ve had the privilege of capturing his first year behind my lens. John’s Newborn Session, Five Month Session & Nine Month Session.

When all else fails, you haven’t used a flash, the color is off on your photos and they are very noisy because you’ve blasted your ISO, just convert everything to black & white!  Presto. . . useable images.  Though you don’t see the vibrant colors that were present on the balloons in the background or […]

Isaiah was a teeny tiny little guy, born a few weeks early.  He was ten days old at the time of his session, but still a little peanut.  We did his session completely last minute, with less than 24 hours between our first contact and the actual session.  He was such a sweet little one–slept […]

Carter is a character.  You never know what’s going to come out of his mouth.  Or his actions.  He can go from laughing to crying in .2 seconds and then back to laughing again.  He’s tougher than most kids I know and rarely cries when he gets hurt–he’s definitely tougher than his big brother and […]
