Lily is a beautiful balance of winsome, adventurous and thoughtful. She enters a room and her gentle presence fills it. Not the overwhelming kind, the soft kind. There is something incredibly unique about her spirit. Pure, unselfish, warm. She is as compassionate as she is smart. Her smile is full and her heart for others untouched. It’s easy for me […]

Time. Steadily, quietly, in the midst of each breath we take, each beat of our heart–thump, thump, thump–unnoticed she works. I think deep down we know what’s expected of her. She knows it too. But then sometimes, sometimes her gentle crafting takes us by surprise. The days that slipped by when we were oblivious to her endeavors. Naive […]

With quiet confidence, exquisite beauty and soft certainty she walks into an untouched chapter of life….Pure, clean, blank chapters waiting with anticipation–like the reader–to see what will be penned. With each new letter, new word, new paragraph and page to…

Once naked and stripped trees now stood magically clothes in delicate beauty. It was amazing really, how though silent, they beckoned attention. The kind full of wonder. The kind a passerby couldn’t ignore, couldn’t saunter by without a word. It was the kind that during winter seemed ordinary, familiar. Yet something so unspeakably beautiful was…

When Adam contacted me wanting me to do his Senior pictures, I was thrilled! I always ask if there are any specific locations my clients want to shoot–Adam didn’t think twice about it! Case Park! This was a new location for me, but my family’s motto is “Life is and adventure!” This was a new adventure and a new place to explore! So Case Park it was!!! It wasn’t until I was taking pictures of Adam that I found out…

I drove up to Case Park and pulled into a side street parking spot (double checking that it was okay to park there since I’ve gotten two parking tickets in the last month! Ek!) I parked the car and leaned over to grab my slate gray and brown leather camera bag. I had never met Sydney before, so didn’t quite know what to expect. I climbed out of my car and began walking towards the park. I looked up to see Sydney…

When my alarm went off I quickly questioned my decision. “What was I thinking scheduling a sunrise shoot again!?” I repeated back to myself, “Lacey, it will be worth it. It will be worth it. It will be worth it.” Some positive self-encouragement and a huge cup of coffee–and I was off! And let me tell you…

Have you ever had those moments when in your head you know that obviously, everyone is getting older each year. But for some crazy reason, you think you’re the only one that will change and everyone else will stay the same!? (Please tell me I’m not the only one!)…
 

Have you ever wondered what is going through your photographers mind before and during your shoot!? (Besides the continual prayer that it doesn’t rain!) I’m about to let you know…..

There is literally SO much I could say about Abbie!! Like how I’ve never (ever) heard a mean word come out of her mouth. Or how she has absolutely STUNNING, perfect blonde hair. Or how she loves Jesus, or how she has impeccable taste in clothes. I could tell you about her sweet spirit or her contagious laugh. (Guys, I’m not making any of this up!) After I took her pictures…
