The two years I attended my photography conference in Las Vegas, I literally could not shut my brain off in order to sleep.  Ideas of what I had learned flew through my brain, whizzing here and there, bouncing all over the place.  I was jittery.  I was like a live current.  The morning couldn’t come […]

I apologize for the honesty in this post.  And understand if you clicked off the post without reading.  It’s not for any of you.  It’s for the memory of Heather. And if you’ve ever had too much to drink and then got into your car and drove it anyways, you too, should read this. A […]

On Saturday I taught a basic photography workshop for the second year in a row.  I limit the participants to twelve.  It’s amazing to me that in two years, twenty-four ladies have looked up to my photography enough to come listen to me talk and to learn a little bit about their cameras.  I feel […]

I thought I’d give everyone a break from pictures of my kids and feature some of my favorite things in today’s Happy Monday blog post.  So, today, may I present, five of my favorite things! I am a big fan of musicals.  If I could afford to, I’d go to the theatre for every show […]

Charlie was a champ for his session.  Typically, when doing a newborn session, it’s a bit before we even snap the first picture.  We have to get the baby fed, snuggly and ready to rock.  Charlie came to see him, and stayed asleep even after we stripped him down after taking him out of his […]

I literally have no idea how moms that aren’t stay at home moms get it all done.  Kudos to you, and if I was able to give you all a pat on the back for running your lives without going crazy, and still working outside of the home forty hours a week, I would.  I’m […]

Everyone has a period of ups in their lives, and everyone has some downs.  Some have more ups than others.  Some have more downs.  We’ve been through a few downs in our marriage, I’ve been through a few in my personal life.  But lately, it seems, we are on a pretty good up, and I […]

Below is information for my 2014 Loyalty Program.  I’ve had some clients in past years book both a full session and a mini session in one year, especially those with young children who change so quickly!  This is a great way to be able to do that, and save a little bit in the process. […]

Sometimes I find that I have an hour of time to do something.  And the something I should do is not clear.  There are so many things that I could do–infinite possibilities really–that I have no idea where to even begin choosing.  For example, right now, Sawyer is taking his <very short> nap–and I can probably […]

Back in September, I received an email from one of my past brides, Diana. They had a beautiful fall wedding back in 2012–check out their wedding pictures here!  She told me she had just found out she was pregnant, and she wanted to book a photo shoot to surprise her husband with the announcement.  She […]
