Comfort zone

I think we’re all feeling a little bit of the comfort zone in the days after Thanksgiving.  I know I ate way more than I should have…thank goodness for spin class.  We’ve been enjoying a few days of chill around here and some of the highlights include the boys getting up on Brent’s long board [...]

Pause Button

Do you ever wish life had a pause button?  I wish I could just pause everything happening around me so that I could catch up on all the things I’m way behind on.  Right now I’m sorta living off a priority list.  Sticky-noted to my iMac.
I get that pause every few days when all the [...]

Spleenectomy

Is that a real word?
Tim and the crew had me laughing so hard that I was getting scared my photos would be blurry, from the shaking.  Whenever you get 12 family members together, you know it’s going to be a little crazy.  But, add to the mix a couple of guys with junior high humor [...]

Is this really work?

Do I really get paid to sit here at my desk and play around with colors and textures…starting with a gorgeous picture and enhancing it into perfection?  Really, that’s work??

I’m pinching myself because I ALWAYS end up with beautiful clients….

OK…enough gushing.  I’m super lucky…I’ll leave it at that. :)  One of the objectives from this [...]

You know it’s going to be a good day…

…when you arrive to the location of the photo shoot (the corner of 1st and Grand to be exact) and a team of volunteers is cleaning that street.  You know, making my favorite grungey brick free of any trash and debri.  Love that.

You also know it’s a going to be a good day when clients [...]

Attached

Spending just a few hours with a family makes me feel attached to them.  I wonder how the stories end that we talk about, I remember their names and how excited they were to be saving these moments in time.
I felt especially attached to Karis’ family.  When she originally asked me to do her photos, [...]

True Love

I’ve known Carly and Brian for a little over a year now.  Life hasn’t always been easy for them (or any of us for that matter) but the one thing that remains constant is their love for each other.  The last time I took their photos some of my favorites were the two of them [...]

Jamie & Kai

I’m starting to rely on my GPS less and less these days.  At the beginning of the summer, the nice lady in my car told me how to get to the grocery store, the post office, Target and most importantly…how to get home!  But, I’m venturing out.  I’m exploring my new neighborhood and of course [...]

Twins

I love playing off the special connection that twins have!  Nicole and Lucas are six year old twins and amazed me with how loving they are toward each other.
I kept have them hug and I’d say ‘get closer!’  Not one complaint…they just played along and I was able to give mom and dad some amazing [...]

Berlin

“I’m a model, you know what I mean.  I do my little turn on the catwalk…”

It had been a little while since l last photographed Berlin but once she saw me camera, she pulled out all her moves…unprompted. :)  She had just woken up from her nap and she still knew how to work it!!  [...]
