I have my clients come to me all the time wondering what to wear.  I think there is this confusion that everyone should match in pictures when that’s not sure.  What you want to do is match similar colors.  For example if its a fall session, maybe pick 3 to 4 warm colors like oranges, […]

Since I have been doing the annual Stay Strong cancer portrait session, I thought it would be a good time to share my story.  I always joke and said cancer runs in my family like water, because it seems to be true and the sad part is, its all different kinds of cancer, not just […]

This little beauty was a natural!!!  Her parents took her to the Texas/Oklahoma Fair for the first time this past weekend.  I have to say, she did so good stopping and taking pictures when in reality she just wanted to ride the rides and I don’t blame her.  When I would ask her for a […]

Have you ever faced cancer, whether it was you or a loved one?  I have to say, most people know or have known someone who has had that dreadful C word told to them.  I happen to be one of those people.  My mom died when I was 16 of ovarian cancer and a few […]

I talked before on how much photography means to me and how important it is to capture “right now”.  Well my husband is alot similar in the same way.  Its not natural for him to pick up a camera or to snap a picture in the moment, but I know its not second nature for […]

 Why is photography so important to me?  As I sit here and try to remember how far back I loved pictures, it was a slow rewind of my life.  It was before cell phone cameras were in our pockets, so I believe it was after my mom died when I was 16.  My mom didn’t […]

When I started to add additional sites to my business, Pinterest was one of them!  How many times do we need ideas, recipes, arts and crafts and yes, even photo shoot ideas and go straight to Pinterest?  *raises hand*  I know I do and its helped me so much a long the way.  Not only […]

I recently did a poll on my business page on Facebook and asked,  “What are some fears when hiring a photographer and what are you worried about???”  76% of the people who voted said it was money, it was costs.  The next one that others were really worried about was time.  Its hard when you […]

I got to meet this beauty and capture some photos of her.  She was a real delight!  I did end up taking her and her family on what seemed like a mile hike to some locations by our lake.  One thing that I have noticed lately that the sun is coming up slower in the […]

This handsome little fella is turning one years old!  This photo shoot was a quick session while the sun was popping through the clouds, but let me tell you, he was a natural.  He was so calm, so curious and I’m sure he thought we were all weird trying to grab his attention. I want […]
