Because songs pour forth from her soul. From inside her music sings.Twists.Twirls. Alluring grace.Simple elegance. Notes that bloom and become. Because from deep inside, she must dance.It’s who she is.What she does. With such purity, artistry, elegance and style…She dances. She is.She does.Because songs pour forth from her soul.

Looking back to see what has happened is something so special and I’ll be first to admit I don’t do it nearly enough! There is a beauty in pausing and reflecting. I think we get so caught up in “what’s next” that the awe of what has happened is often forgotten. So 2017, may I […]

Recently I was emailing one of my sweet clients who wanted to book a family session with me but was in a dilemma. She wanted to book her shoot in the near future so that we could capture her little guy before he got too big, but she also wanted the shoot to feel like it was […]

Eyes, though small and smile though soft and only four years old held inside them something exceptional. I watched them this specific morning, air calm and quiet the earth a bit more still than usual. Thick white fog settled around them, embraced them, defended the bond so unique between them. As they walked through copper grass sharing glances […]

If a session is like Star Wars, then choosing the perfect outfit is like Darth Vader or Yoda or Luke Skywalker! (Wow. Michael is going to be so proud! I just made a Star Wars reference! Actually….I’m proud!) 😉 Basically, without them the entire mood is gone. No characters, no movie. Poor outfit choice, poor photo […]

In a world filled with ‘every other’ and ‘just like’….there was Sophia. Lovely and unique and beautifully different from the rest. There was something soft about her smile and something inviting in her eyes. If you didn’t know her, you wanted to. If you didn’t have a friend, you wanted to be hers. Her heart was warm and […]

I love fresh starts. New beginnings. Changes. (If you don’t believe me, Michael can vouch that it’s the truth as he witnesses me firsthand decorating and redecorating the house each season….or each time I have a brilliant new idea for our living room!) 😉 So as December 31st of 2016 ended and 2017 began there […]
