Welcome TO THE

Have you ever gotten professional photos done and realized afterwards that certain poses or places that you smiled at the camera wasnt in your gallery?  Its because every photographer depending on the location, the sun and the pose is what will or not be delivered.  I personally have shot sessions and almost the whole area […]

The other day I was loading my pictures onto my desktop computer and when I start to do other things on there it tends to go slower, so I just jumped on the husbands laptop to do what I needed to do.  I signed into my social media site and while I was over there, […]

This beautiful pregnant woman is Janae.  Janae and I went to High School back in the day and we haven’t seen each other since, but kept in touch through Facebook.  I want to share a little bit of her story without getting into too many details, but Janae is married and has 3 precious girls!  […]

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 […]

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 […]
