Good morning from my kitchen table. The sun is shining in upon my back as I finish up the last of my coffee. My two year is enjoying a second breakfast of oatmeal porridge while my four year is listening to music. I’ve got homemade heirloom yogurt straining through a cheesecloth. It’s been a little […]

My, how time flys! For the longest time, Wilma was “Little Wilma.” She was kind of like my little sister. Today, she’s married, has a sweet little boy, and is one of my closest friends. While I enjoy photographing anyone, there’s something special about photographing friends. You know the ups and downs they’ve been through […]

Is there anything sweeter than a smiling baby? When Sadie arrived with her parents at their family photoshoot, I was immediately smitten. Reaching out her arms to me as I said “hello,” she allowed me to hold her for several moments. I’m a boy mom of two and while I LOVE it, it’s always really […]

I geeked out at Dorcas & Eli’s family session at their historical farmhouse. She had sent me the address but you know how it is when you first arrive at a new place. I wanted to make sure I was at the right place. The address led me to this big brick historical farmhouse. A […]

Iva & Leon’s family session at their family farm was a fun first for me. I tend to shoot in nature locations a lot but I’m loving this new aspect of shooting at a family’s home. It’s not about perfection. It’s about capturing the intimate reflection of who you are as a family. I shot […]

I felt like I was in another world. White old world columns draped with swathes of papaya colored muslin stood tall. Arching overhead, luscious rambling greenery nestled with autumnal toned mums and roses looked almost lifelike. Like the roses might have rambled on their own to crown this beautiful scene. Lights were twinkling over head, […]

It’s been an interesting week. I was sick, which is always fun, (note the sarcasm.) Aaron is training to join the local volunteer fire department. It’s something we’ve talked about before but last year the training took place right when we were expecting Julian’s birth. Let’s just say I have a whole new appreciation for […]

I wiped a tear as her dad held her in his arms. They danced slowly to a rendition of “My Little Girl” pre-recorded by her dad. Since Wilma’s family has always been musical and Leon plays the guitar, it was no surprise that their wedding day was full of the same. On the home farm, […]

I’m almost wiping tears right now. It’s three months after my sister’s wedding. How do I sum up the day that my best friend married the love of her life? Joy, nostalgia, and tears only begin to describe my emotions that day. It was the day that we’d dreamed of and planned for so long. […]

I don’t know about you but I like new things. It’s fun to think about what I want to buy, how I’ll use it, and how nice my life will be once I have it. Saving up my money, I sacrifice the little things in order to get the thing I really want. Finally, the […]
