A couple years ago I decided I wanted to ditch my website and just go with a blog. That was a great idea and it worked for awhile, but now I’m feeling that I want to sometimes take my blog and writing in different directions…so a new website was in order for those of you just looking for the facts about having a photo session with me.
So I set out to totally revamp my blog and make a new website and can I say I am THRILLED with how it all turned out?! They are simple, clean lined, no fuss, very minimalistic. I figure if I can’t be that way at home with my three crazy children and barking dog…I can at least have it with my website and blog!
Go go check it out!!! Email me about booking a session! Share in my excitement! Yay!!!
Darling, darling couple. I actually got to photograph them along side a few other photographers. They were our “models” and they were simply perfect for the job!
I love, while capturing births, the times when all is calm and peaceful…it’s like one of the last moments to soak in some quiet, reflect on their marriage and how far they’ve come. It’s beautiful…

At about 7am I drive down a long country road to a strangers house. I park the car, get my gear out and take inventory of my surroundings. Of course I must stop for just a second to snap an iPhone picture. I add it quickly to my little addiction of Instagram. I put my phone in my camera bag and I’m immediately greeted by a young boy yelling through the front door that I am a “monster with many arms.” Two very sweet doggies that would trample my Gilbert in one step sniff me up and down, no doubt smelling yorkie on my shoes. They rule the house and of course they do…they weigh almost as much as I do.
One sweet girl in a pretty dress says hi through her dazzling blue eyes and goldilocks hair and I know right away that she will be my sidekick. The kids show me their rooms, their dogs and their baby brother. They also show me outside and school me on what poison oak looks like. I definitely show I’m a city girl in that instant! I don’t waste any time though, my camera is already out of my bag. I could stay there for hours, just photographing this family and their home, but the sun is starting to beat down on us and I know the kids are ready to get onto their day of a movie and ice cream promised by their way cool parents. I think to myself a session like that would be a lot of fun…ice cream and a movie. I give and get hugs goodbye and I drive away not as a stranger anymore but as someone who feels privileged to be a part of a few hours of this wonderful family’s day.
