I love the space between the end of a year and the beginning of the next. It’s like this tiny breath of remembering what was and anticipating what will be. Each year has looked so vastly different, but the common strand connecting them all are the whispers of thankfulness to the Lord during these moments […]

As a part of my business workflow, after a family books me for a session I send out a variety of forms, contracts & questionnaires. I’ve created templates within the system I use so that it takes no time at all to get these essentials to my clients! One of the first things that I […]

I’ve said it before and you could probably bet money that I’ll say it again, but one of my absolute favorite things about my job is the relationships that I get to create and build! For me during sessions it’s not just about getting incredible images (although that’s certainly a part of it) but it’s […]

This post may seem silly, but I discovered it at a recent styled shoot and thought I was brilliant! (Am I allowed to think that?) It’s easy and so helpful especially on wedding days! One of the details that us as photographers continuously keep an eye on during wedding days is how the gown is […]

The years turned memories. The years of love, of laughter, of life. Years of children, of grandchildren. Years of daily I do’s and moment by moment I choose you’s. Years of smiles, of tears.

But the community you’re creating, the quality of work you’re producing and the future clients you’re attracting makes […]

The light that shimmered in air held the same kind of magic as in the eyes of the three sisters. Some kind of childhood wonder. Where holding hands ushered the sweetest smiles and the arms of parents satisfied every need. Where berries and off beaten paths brought adventure and curiosity and let the imagination run […]

The first signs of winter hung in the air as the last signs of fall clung to the trees. Faded colors of nutmeg and bronze and chestnut. The sun had pulled the thick gray blanket around itself hiding rays of light. Below it a family played. And swung. And laughed. They tickled and talked. Wrapped […]

When grandparents come to town life slows down. Laughter is heard. Games are played. When grandparents come to town memories are made. When grandparents come to town together, it’s right again. When grandparents come to town three little lives sparkle and shine. Three little souls come alive in a whole new way….when grandparents come to […]

Let love be wild and free. Let it be five kids and laughter and discovery. Let imagination out. Let memories in. Let love be family. Let love be creativity. Let love be running through fields and open land. Let love be untamed, unrestrained. Let love– Let it be.
