Those first few weeks of having a newborn are so incredibly moving, transformational and let’s be real, exhausting. You look forward to having a child for months (and sometimes years), and then all of the sudden you are thrown into the world of being a parent. And you leave the hospital with a tiny human […]
How do you have a successful family shoot?! Well, it takes a lot of thought and excitement and then I take care of the rest! Here are my tried and true tips for a great family shoot: 1. Clothing Is Everything I used to think that clothing had little to do with the quality of […]
The morning we woke up it was foggy. Probably not something a senior envisions for their senior shoot…but me?? Oh, yeah!! I was SO excited to see some fun weather challenge move in, and to be honest…I couldn’t have planned it better myself! A few days prior, I drove by this field thinking, “Oh, my […]
That top picture is one of my allllll time favorites I’ve ever taken…and you betcha it was on film! All of the sunset photos in her white dress were shot on film. And when I say film, I mean like medium format (645mm) old-school-ten-pound-film camera kind of film. I am in LOVE with my new […]
One of the most rewarding things for me taking pictures is when I share the back of the camera with each senior. It’s amazing to see each of their faces light up when they glance at my screen. Some even say, “No way! That’s not me!!” This reaction is my favorite–Yes, it is you!! You […]

This mama and daddy knew that they […]
Good things come to those who wait. That saying couldn’t be any more true for Chris and Madi. Not only have they been together for four years before their wedding day, but they also had quite the week leading up to their special day. Only days before their wedding, a man shooting tannerite targets started […]
Talk about talent! This girl is an athlete! I have heard so much about her from coaches I work with, and they all say the same thing–she was born to be an athlete! Let’s just say I had to use Julio the Stoolio the ENTIRE shoot…she’s just about half a foot taller than me. 😉 […]
Dustin and I go way back. Well, let me restate that, Dustin and my husband go WAY back. They were best buds in high school (and still are), and Dustin was even in our wedding. I’ll spare you our wedding photos–let’s just say I was wearing bright orange Rocket Dog tennis shoes under my gown…lol. […]
When you get a shoot like this, you wake up the next morning almost in awe that it even happened. It was a beautiful spring day when I drove up to the Graybill’s home. Although windy, the sun was pouring down its warmth as I walked up the steps of their turn of the century […]
