I love that she gives me the freedom to just play. I love you Destinee and I totally believe in you! You so bless our lives.

Ohemgee, ohemgee, ohemgee…… I had just gotten my new camera after shooting the Varsovia’s and needed someone who would pose and let me practice on them.  I thought and thought and thought and I remembered how gorgeous Stephanie was and gave her call. She agreed to meet me after she changed the alternator on her […]

Isaiah had this awesome idea, after hearing Jim Garner speak about experimental photography to take a family to the fair.  We were sooo thrilled when the Estes agreed to be our family.  They really wanted to focus to be on their sweet 5yo son Ian and we were happy to oblige. I have known Ian […]

My dear friends Junko & Ivan called us up for their second annual photo shoot!  There really are no words to describe how much I truly love these two.  Junko has quickly become one of my very closest friends, my sister, who I can count on for almost anything and Ivan is one of the […]

Seriously, my cup is full.  Isaiah and I had the opportunity to attend WPPI Road trip a month or so back and got to see what it was like to hang with people who love photography nearly as much or more than us. People who spoke our language in letters and numbers, who drooled over […]

Mike and Nickole met when they were pre-teens.  She had just come home from completing in a pageant/full dress and hair when Mike came strolling by on his dirt bike.  She ran down the stairs full dress to join him on his adventure and who knew years later they’d be planning the adventure of a […]

Today marks my second official d700 portrait session and let me say I LOVE SHOOTING full frame.  Who knew??! So I have tons of work on my plate, but a new photog friend contacted me earlier this week to do lunch and during the course of our lunch/I realized she had no real business headshots! […]

My beautiful and talented friend Lloryn needed headshots for her new photography business: Lloryn Louise Photography and I was completely and totally honored when she asked me to do them. She said she wanted pictures to reflect her personality/fun and high energy, but thoughtful too!  Below are just a few to show how fun our […]
