Welcome Home, Little One

Have you ever thought your family was complete, and then there was one more – and you thought, ‘How did we ever live without her?!’  Meet this family!  Not only are they loyal and kind and generous and adventurous and… (yes, they are 100% all those things)… They are dreamers, and they inspire others to […]

Boy or Girl?

I was stuck.  Literally.  In a hole.  I had been concentrating on composing my shot and not falling into the lake that was less than a foot to my left, when all of a sudden I couldn’t move forward.  It wasn’t a creative block; my right foot stepped right into the middle of a small […]

Backyard Shenanigans

Superman and flower gardens have no chance at capturing my attention like these two kids did!  The expressions and posture of a 5 year old boy, whose entire world is colored by his imagination, are so much fun to work with.  He is also into superheros and Star Wars, so I had plenty of common […]

One Big Step

This family was stumped.  Why was their little boy in the hospital so much?!  In fact, when I met the mom this one year old little boy was crawling around – undaunted by the world around him – but he should have already been walking…  After a stressful first year of multiple hospitalizations the doctors […]

The Not-So-Terrible Two’s

Summer is here!!!!!   This was my first backyard session of the season, and it couldn’t have been more perfect – and most people wouldn’t have expected that since the session featured a two-year-old!  But if you were a lightning bug watching that evening while you were waiting for dusk, you would have joined in the […]

#whoiam

NOTE: A link to a free printable is included in this blog post! My signature product is the Family Journal, and I loved adapting it to the Senior Photo Book.  Why?  Because I think we miss too many important ah-ha! moments in life when we pass over the details.  God loves us, and he proves […]

To the Moms of Graduates

As it warms up (I say that tongue-in-cheek because the radio station is proclaiming a winter advisory for tonight – the fist night of Spring), people are either thinking about two things: Spring break or gardening. Unless you’re the parent of a graduate! And then all you can think about is how you’ll pull off […]

The Perfect Saturday

Who says winter isn’t a time to take photos?  If you’ve ever heard of “lifestyle photography” and thought it was for avid fishermen, think again!  Looking at the photos of this family’s Saturday morning make me want to grab my family and unplug for a day!

Sister, Sister

This post was a long time in coming!  I have held on to it since SEPTEMBER!  It’s not that I haven’t gotten around to blogging, it’s better:  These sisters had the brilliant idea of doing a surprise photo shoot for their family so they could give them beautiful and meaningful gifts at Christmas time!  Therefore […]

Birthday Boy

Kids grow up all the time. I know this! It happened to me and it’s happening to my son.  But sometimes kids just get stuck in your mind at a certain age.  I’m forever running into adults that I knew as kids or teenagers and exclaiming, “You’re all grown up!”  First of all, I’m not […]

Family for the Holidays

We finally got that rain date in (see Rain, Rain, Go Away), and it was a beautiful day – even if we did opt for indoors in the end.  This family was in high spirits, and I have to say a special thanks to a best friend that came along and helped bring out some […]

Rain, Rain, Go Away

I communicate a lot with my clients prior to a shoot. I want to make sure everyone is comfortable and prepared (and excited)!  I communicated more than ever with this family because on their shoot date and their “rain date” was… rain…  I grabbed a few umbrellas and we made the most of it, but […]
