I secretly LOVE the “slow season”. Typically, that is from about November through February. I use this type to rest, recharge, and dream up new and exciting ideas for my little photo business. I also attend one of the largest conferences for professional photographers in Phoenix, Arizona, where I learn from the best of the best in […]
Nothing is more exciting than having a baby. For those that had to try to have a baby (like we did), this is a session that they have longed for, sometimes for months or even years. While they wait for the sweet little peanut to grow, the months are filled with dreaming, deciding names, and […]
Photographing senior girls gives me so much happiness. My favorite part of senior photography is the excitement that surrounds it. Most people don’t get their photos taken by a professional photographer very much in their lifetime. Maybe once for senior photos, then again at their wedding, and if they are lucky, the will have the […]
Senior year in high school is such a milestone. To be able to hang out with all of these optimistic, joyful, and excited people makes my heart so happy. They fill my soul with so much hope and joy. They are on the cusp of life where one decision can can change their entire life’s […]
“Are you a hiking kind of girl?” I asked. “I’ll have my boots ready!” she replied. I knew it would be a great fit right then and there. Winter shoots are tricky. From the weather to the outfits, it’s just ot as easy as it is any other time of year. Knowing this, a lot […]
This year was a doozy. Anyone else feel like they were just drinking champagne watching the ball drop in Times Square for 2019?! Who am I kidding…I was shooting a New Years Eve wedding in Missoula, Montana that night, but you know what I mean. With all the craziness, this year went so incredibly fast! […]
These two are perfect for each other. Both first grade teachers, both from the same home town, both kind as EVER. Like a lot of my clients, the weather forced us to reschedule their original date for their engagement session. That ALWAYS stresses me out, because I know couples put some much time, effort, and […]
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 […]
I like this tribe. Pretty fun group. Have you ever met someone that you’re immediately like, “Yep. You’re my people…”? That’s this family. Andrea is actually a good friend of my sister-in-law, but if we lived closer, I honestly think I would jump into that friend circle and love every minute of it. And their […]
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 […]
