My Family Pictures

I can hardly even believe this day actually happened! We had a unicorn Sunday in my large family, EVERY single family member was in town, with no plans, and the weather cooperated (it was a little warm and moqsuito-y but hey I will take it!!!) so we rounded up the troops, sent out a color […]

I have no clue where to start about the gorgeous that is this shoot, so let me try to start at the beginning. Last year I did a Sea Siren styled shoot with my friend Misty of Misty Saves the Day. I learned a lot from that shoot and shared some tips on how to […]

Lucky Number 7

Lucky number seven. Seven trips around the sun as a Mrs. I met Kenny when I was 18 and married him three weeks after graduating college (that last semester was so stressful!) Not many people get to marry their first love or even the greatest love of their life straight out the gate. Kenny is […]

It was about September when I really started to feel like I had completely outgrown my website. I knew I wanted something that reflected my more mature style of photography, more natural approach and mostly was a better showcase for my images. I didn’t want all these things sliding in and fading out, I didn’t […]

Pursuit Conference 2016

I walked onto that campus in a purple summery dress I have had for years. Ironically, it’s the last thing he bought for me and he is the reason I’m here. In October 2009 I lost one of THE most important people in my life and my heart still aches everyday that goes by I […]

Sea Siren Styled Shoot

Sometimes I get these little ideas in my head and sit on them. This shoot was definitely that. I had been dreaming up this shoot for about 9 months before I talked to Misty about it. I actually had tried to get it going over the summer but a few too many things came up […]

It’s on a regular basis that I get messages from people who want advice on how to take better pictures with their camera and I am flattered! Alot of them are friends or past clients, but a growing majority is other photographers which is so awesome. I’m hoping this will be the start of a […]

What do you think people said to Edison when he was developing the first motion picture camera? I wonder if they applauded him or snickered? Do you think he introduced himself that way or just said his name? I often wondered this when people asked what I do. A year ago I told people I […]

Someone once said great rewards only come from great risk. I admittedly am not a risk taker. I fear rejection REALLY bad, consider myself an overachiever (and thus carry stress constantly from striving for more) and truly fear people scoffing at my dreams. BUT after attending the Amy & Jordan workshop I felt like I […]
