So I took last week off from blogging…I figured since it was my birthday on Friday and Mother’s Day on Sunday, that it would be okay if I skipped out on work and had a drink in a hammock instead, so that’s exactly what I did. I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day. I […]
So my 4 year old just zoomed past me on her Minnie Mouse scooter, barely missing my foot and her baby sister sitting on the floor. And I swear I just saw a blur fly by outside the back door. Probably my son…or my dog chasing a squirrel. The point is, my house is full […]
So you sit down to do a Google search for a photographer in your city and you wind up with dozens of results…pages and pages even. How do you even start to narrow it down? Should you go with the top result…not always. While that person may have a strong SEO game (SEO=Search Engine Optimization), […]
We’re all spending a lot more time at home right now…a lot. I hope that means that you’re also taking more photos at home. (If you’re not, hop back to last week’s blog post for a little inspiration and a peek at how I’ve been documenting my own family.) It’s easy to think that you […]
Today has mostly consisted of breaking up sibling fights, cleaning up messes, trying to catch snippets of news, and keeping the kids quiet while Dad works upstairs. Patience is running low, my coffee is cold, and this is our new normal…for now. This is not a day, or even a week, that makes me think […]
At the end of every photo session, I turn to my clients with a plea that goes something like this, “In your photo gallery, you’ll have an option to submit an order for professional prints.

I’ve taken photos of hundreds of kids…babies, toddlers, teenagers….they’re all different, but one thing that’s consistent is that Mom and Dad want a smile. Now I’ll tell you that my favorite photos are usually the ones where nobody’s actually looking at the camera. I like to catch you interacting with each other instead. But I […]
If you have an Instagram account or have just tried to put together a wall gallery in your home, then you’ve probably wondered how you could make it look better. How come some people’s IG feeds look so pulled together while others are a jumbled mess? How come when you step back and look at […]
If you’re anything like me, then you know accessories make things more fun. Need to write down doctor’s appointments and parent/teacher conferences in a planner? Then obviously you need multi-colored markers and stickers to make it fun. Love your morning coffee? Then you’ve gotta have a cute mug collection. (A perfect mug makes coffee taste […]
When I talk to a new client, one of the first questions they usually have for me, is, “Do you have any ideas for a location?” and yep, I do. But first I have some questions for them…and for you too, if you’ve got a photo session on your mind. What kind of vibe are […]
