Welcome to my Blog!

Stress free, fun, happy, colorful, casual are all things that describe a session with me.

I have always loved art and enjoyed creating things. It makes me happy . . . puts a skip in my step. My interest in photography started in high school, but really expanded once I had children. I now have 3 little ones of my own (that's us on the left), and I feel compelled to document their unique characteristics and personality traits with the camera. I like to capture moments, looks, glances, smiles, belly laughs, the beauty within them . . . everything about them I want to remember. My goal is to capture real moments and interactions. It is no different when I am at a session. I want to capture all of these things for you too.

People have described me as creative and passionate. I put both of these qualities to work in every session. I want you to love your images as much as I do. 

I also enjoy getting to know people and listening to their stories. That's why photography is such a good match for me. It brings my creative passion together with my love for people. I look forward to meeting you and hearing your story as I document your unique characteristics with my camera.

site issues and some images with my 35mm lens

expressive . . .

that is the thing I have noticed about this little guy as I have been editing their photos.  He has the BEST expressions!  I’m so glad I could capture so many of them.  I photographed this family last year.  It was so good to see them again, and see how much their son has grown....

beautiful kids and an amazing backyard

I had so much fun following these kids around their yard.  There was swinging, fishing and flower picking, among other things.  The downpour of rain we had just a couple hours before the session meant no getting in the creek, but the day turned out to be a beauty nevertheless. Thanks for having me K...

good friends, good times

These are my very good friends.  I so LOVE taking their pictures because they are crazy happy, crazy in love, and most of the time just plain crazy. This is part of that “crazy” I was talking about . . . This little guy was such a trouper.  Such a sweet smile. The bike rider...

I cannot think of an appropriate title for this one

I slept in 4 places last night. It all started with the watermelon my youngest daughter had before bed. NEVER again.  That was mistake number one.  She has been dry most of the time so she’s been going to bed without a pull-up. I recommended wearing one last night because I know that watermelon makes...

love and family

I’m not quite sure what to say, except that this little girl stole my heart.  She has cerebral palsy which may limit her physically and mentally, but it doesn’t slow her down one bit on giving and receiving love.  She has the most beautiful smile.  The really cool part is that Mom and Dad can...
