Welcome!

This morning I heard this song on Pandora.  I forgot how much I love Nicole Nordeman.  It gave me chills, almost brought me to tears, and made praise rise within me this morning. Praise God for making all things new.

It’s been crazy busy around here!  I have done several weddings and other portrait shoots and have needed to get those posted here.  Plus, I’ve just had some thoughts about things I’ve been learning that I want to share.  And people keep asking when they get to see photos from Spain.   I posted a […]

In a few hours I will be boarding a plane bound for Spain!  I can’t believe I’m going to be gone for 2 weeks!  That seems like a long time now that I’m actually going.  It’s going to be great! It’s funny, I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve talked about it so much […]

Yesterday as I was doing a senior portrait shoot, I looked down at my feet and saw this. What a little gift.  I’m choosing to believe that this was a little treasure meant especially for me. Thank You!

I recently got this little chest of drawers.  It’s going to be so cute in my office.  But now I have to decide what color to paint it.  Here’s a photo of the piece and where I’m going to put it.  Any thoughts?

Back in March I went to WPPI, a big photographer’s trade show and conference I attend in Vegas every year.  I’m always excited to go even though I dread going to Vegas.  I just feel dirty when I’m there!  But this year there was a particularly bright point in the week.  A group of Christian […]

Sometimes I can go quite a while without picking up my camera.  Don’t get me wrong…. I love to shoot.  And I love to create.  With many different mediums, not just photography.  But what I love more than anything is people.  And I love when I get to create beautiful images along with my wonderful […]

There are so many great things about my job.  One of my favorite things is all the new friends I get to make.  When I shot Rob & Robin’s wedding (I know… funny, huh?) a couple of years ago, I just fell in love with them.  I had so much fun getting to know them […]
