It’s no secret if you keep up with my blog or photography page–I love shooting newborns, and I’ve been working so hard the past few months to gain both more skill and knowledge about what works and what doesn’t at my newborn sessions. I want to become more effective as a photographer–more efficient, for everyone’s […]

The weather for today will make us all be able to pretend for one day that we actually live in a warm place. Near eighty degrees. In April!  No way! The same went for yesterday. Truth is though, that we better suck all the juice out of today (and hopefully we did for yesterday too) […]

Four days ago, I ended a week long contest. I wanted to give away a mommy & me mini session to a deserving mom–and I also wanted to gift the “nominator” of the winner I chose with a free mini session as well. I know moms rarely are behind the lens with their children- we […]

This little one was born into an Irish family right before St. Patrick’s Day. I was doing her newborn session while her parents were talking about their food menu for the big day. Some Irish food, some not Irish food. . . I was practically salivating through the whole session! Ha. This session was a […]

It’s not very often that I offer themed mini session–I’m usually an “on location” photographer and like to shoot outside. But this year, I’ve decided to add a few themed sessions into the mixup for clients who sometimes like a few seasonal images for their collections. I brainstormed a few different ideas for props and […]

Whoever came up with the April showers chant was spot on. It’s been April for about a week, and I think it’s rained five of those days. My fingers are crossed that the whole brings May flowers part of the little chant will come true, but next week is Spring Break around these parts, and the weather […]

One of the things that James and I have been working on around our house is converting the living room into a usable home studio for me. Unfortunately, that means sacrificing quite a bit of square footage to designate as “business”, but it definitely has pros- The biggest one being that I don’t have to […]

James has fond memories of his AWANA days when he was growing up. We are trying to do the same for our own boys. . . and that begins with the Awana Grand Prix.  Brayden’s race is tomorrow afternoon, so they’ve been hard at work designing a car to race.  Brayden couldn’t be more excited […]

Last week, I started a mini series of case studies called Throwback Thursday.  My husband laughed at me and thought me a nerd when I used the term “case study”.  I blame it on those pointless Master’s classes I took seven years ago, where we read Case Study this and Case Study that. Last week I […]

This little one was adorable during her one year session–I couldn’t get over her cute little belly, and her enthusiasm for the little fondant circles on her birthday cake. Meeting new little friends is always a joy for me–and I certainly hope this isn’t the last time I see this precious little girl!
