It seems like we had been planning this session forever!! Khush contacted me in late Spring to reserve her spot of August 6th, a special day for her family, which every year marks a important milestone, their wedding anniversary, this year marking 7 years. She had the session all planned- they would meet me at […]
EliAnais contacted us quite a while ago for a session with her and Gabe. It was winter time and rain, sleet and snow kept post-poning the dream session that EliAnais and I had planned in our heads. Fast forward 6 months and what was planned as a session for two, now becomes three?! OR two […]
Shooting Nia was such a blast! We loved it. Her pretty chocolate skin and her fun personality won Isaiah and I over in a big way. Nia’s mom contacted us in a effort to freeze time and to remember her sweet girl at THIS age for ever. 8 years old??! They grow up so fast! […]
It was such a joy to be a part of Cesar and Priscilla’s wedding day last month. You might remember their engagement session a few months ago. Cesar and Priscilla have one of the truest and sweetest loves that we have had the opportunity to be a part of. Their wedding took place on a […]
It’s been four years. Four adventurous, challenging, happy and fun years. We met 6 years ago when on a site called Myspace. You might remember it, the blanking orange people icons, and customizable profiles, complete with music to entertain as the public stalked you? I was new. I wasn’t too keen, but having just moved […]
Last week was so much fun. My best friend of all friends turned from her 2’s to her 3’s and is now 30 years old. As her best and younger friend, I felt it my duty to spoil her all week- so we hit our high school hang out “Jubilee Burgers” and had one of […]
Thanks to the beautiful Latasha for lending me her blog so I can enter this contest…. Dearest Silas, My love, my husband, my business partner, my best friend. Thank you so much for all you do for the business and me. You know I could not do it without you. You selflessly put in hours […]
Meet Brittany. Absolutely stunning ball of spice, energy and laughter. One of our shortest members of the street team, I didn’t realize until she showed up to her session in sandals and being vertically challenged myself, I towered over her. One of the things I love most about seniors + this street team idea is […]
I had hoped to have all our 2012 Street Team members introduced to you by now- but wedding season and portrait season picked up and slammed me so unexpectedly, in addition, we have chosen the most active seniors on the planet to represent our brands SO of course my well planned out attempt at getting […]
I love this family. I had so much fun a year ago taking Jaci’s maternity pictures while she was pregnant with little J, it was so exciting when she message me to do their first photo. That is another joy of this job- to continue to watch people grow and change and to be apart […]
I love when a family makes pictures a priority. There is nothing like having them done for the moment, but its really for the long term that makes pictures so important and so magical. What’s even cooler is when families have pictures taken for the first time and they realize in that moment that the […]
I have been blessed to be a part of so many amazing photography communities as we have grown over the last two years, but one in particular that is closest to my heart is called Pursuit 31. Pursuit 31 is a photography group based around the Proverbs 31 woman in the bible + the desires […]
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.
