Happy Easter! These three words are what Easter means to me. I spent my quiet time early Good Friday morning thinking about what this means. It is not the love that people think of or exhibit naturally. It is a self-sacrificing, righteous, pure, active, stable, more-than-a-feeling kind of love. Emotions and chemicals do not move […]

  The relationships with my clients bring me so much joy. I try to keep connected with them, and I love to watch the story of their lives unfold. It warms my heart when past clients call me a couple years after a shoot or wedding and ask for me to walk alongside them again […]

One of the greatest joys in parenthood is introducing your children to each other for the very first time. I absolutely love to capture newborns with their older siblings in the first few weeks of being acquainted. Little Harrison was much anticipated by his big sister, Emma Claire. At the session, we were able to […]

  I am currently editing bridals for possibly my last bride ever… it makes my heart swell a little.  The light was just luscious the day of the shoot. The bride looked gorgeous – she had her hair in an intricate up-do, and the dress was just perfect for her. I just really enjoyed it, […]

My feet have not touched the ground since yesterday when I made the decision to take this leap! I AM GOING TO MAKING THINGS HAPPEN IN LESS THAN ONE MONTH!!!! I’ve got my ticket. Have you got yours?! I wanted to bring it up one more time…haha, who am I kidding, there will be many […]

(Graphic from Lara Casey’s blog) This event is something I had to post about. I have been following Lara Casey and Emily Ley for a few years now, I’ve done webinars with them, followed Lara’s goal setting advice (I mentioned that in the last post), and I have been dying to attend Making Things Happen. […]

Okay, I realize I’m a little behind. Usually people do a “year in review” in December or January, but cut me a little slack. I’m pregnant.Yep. Announcement #1: I’M PREGNANT!!! Our little bundle will make his or her debut on August 20, 2013 (give or take a few days)!  I have more announcements, but they […]

This little girl is melt-your-heart adorable! I have been taking Emma Claire’s portraits since before she was born and I just love watching her grow into the little princess she is. And now, she gets to be a big sister! Ray and Stephanie are expecting a little boy (any day now!), and Emma Claire is […]

This is my friend, Katie and her family. We’ve been planning this session since, I hate to say it, last Spring! Katie won a family session I donated at a church auction and she wanted to give it to her mom for Christmas. I only knew Katie before the session, and I just love her […]

On Maggie and Philip’s wedding day, it was very evident that they have several people who care deeply for them. Some of my favorite photos from the day are the ones I caught of Maggie’s father and her. So sweet! But the highlight of the night was when Maggie and her sister broke out in […]
