A few silly moments I shared with the Thompson kids while capturing their CHRISTmas shots the other day. Their personalities come through in these candid snapshots, they are EVERYTHING like their pictures, funny, inquisitive, goofy and totally in love with eachother. What a joy siblings can be?! [from the eyes of a only child, of […]
practicing my depth of field with my new 35mm portrait lens. I already love it! i hope your all getting into the CHRISTmas spirit??!
On our drive into work today, this is what we saw…..
Ohemmgeeeee!! God has blessed me with some amazing relationships with young people, in fact to date, I am a god-mother to four children and I am so thankful–but no child has made me happier or helped me thru harder times then the one below! Olivia has been such a BRIGHT spot in my life! Olivia […]
I found these and loved them. Weird probably, but whatevs. Kinda reminds me of “he who finds himself a good wife finds a good thing” or “two become one” or that’s why a man leaves his parents to become one with… you get it right?? Anyway, enjoy this abstract piece of art from a abandoned […]
I met Artise & Clarise (twins) when I was 14-years old and a freshman at Lincoln High School. We were all in choir and I was instantly drawn to Clarise. We both went to different middle schools and had come into high school with what was suppose to be our permanent group of friends; but […]
So… there is a photographer who I follow and who I get the joy of calling my mentor; Kacey Pearson, and when I am reading her blog–she often refers to her clients as “delicious.” This is a word used to describe people that I never quite understood. I mean, of course I think my husband is delicious, […]
This weekend I had a chance to hang with some really amazing women, all who are incredibly talented in their own rite. These ladies are painters–and this weekend they welcomed me into their world! There is nothing like getting together to document someone else’s form of expression through your own. These women were the sweetest, […]
If so, where are the bowling balls??! Thanksgiving 2009: Isaiah had the opportunity to hang with a couple of guys from church yesterday morning, and when I say a couple, I really mean about 40, to play a bit of tackle football and as the good wife that I am, I tagged along to chronicle […]
If I had all the time in the world to talk about what an incredible blessing and life changer this man has been for me, there still wouldn’t be enough time. Isaiah (in the natural world) is my hero. He is the most genuine, easy-going, humorous, patient, caring, loving, HANDSOME man in my world. I […]
Do you ever just get annoyed at work??! Tired, maloose (sp?), fed-up, bored??! I did, about two weeks ago. I was staring out the window thinking of all the reasons why I wanted to be a photographer, but doing very little to actually get there. I had just starting carrying my camera everywhere I go (like […]
What happens when the thing you never thought would happen does? What happens when you unexpectedly get sick? What happens when someone you love falls ill or even worse dies? What happens when a natural disaster hits and destroys everything you've worked so hard to build? What happens when you become ill or paralyzed and are unable to run your business? What happens when you find yourself in a global pandemic and you're unable to work for months at a time? What are you going to do?

When we first started shooting, we couldn't afford many of the opportunities and workshops that were available for newbie photographers to learn and grow, so we really utilized the free communities online and locally to building relationships and to learn the trade. It was those years that shaped who we are as people in this industry and have helped us to value the journey.
