Isaiah and I got the opportunity to be a part of a very special wedding later in the summer, the traditional Vietnamese wedding of the now Peter & Shayla. It was a gorgeous wedding full of traditions, vibrant colors (my favorite) and one of the kindest bride and groom that I have had the honor […]
Not that I was the right person to do this shoot in any way at all, but a great way to stretch myself and do something new. Dominique was our 1000th fan on Facebook back in May & I wanted to figure out a way to commemorate it–so in honor of our 1000th fan, Isaiah […]

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 […]

Ok, dont act like you have no clue what Im talking about! “num-num-num” the noise you make when you are fake eating little kids fat little arms and legs??! Ok, am I the only one??! Seriously LOVE!

I love this family. The joy the exude is infectious and every time Im around them I feel my heart fill up as I’m rolling over in tears! This was probably one of my favorite photo shoots because Felicia is soo fun and her husband and kids absolutely love and adore her. Felicia and I […]
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 […]
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.
