As the years go by, I find myself having more and more difficulty with finding the right words that convey what I want to say about my children.  With every New Year, I realize how fast it is all going and how my time to have an influence on what kind of adults they turn […]

I am here.  Faster than I thought possible. I am here.  Where the days aren’t long anymore…they are so undeniably short. I am here.  And while there is a certain joy to being here…my heart is longing for the simpler days. But I am here.  And my daughter is in middle school. Before I knew […]

I have had a whole team of people that have helped me out with this video! It took a village! (Penny! James! Bryan! Ben! Haley!) I wanted to be able to show you all who I am and why I LOVE being a “love story teller”! Your LIFE is beautiful. Your LOVE is beautiful. Your […]

Type a line. Delete it. Type another three lines. Delete them. Words aren’t doing this justice.  The feelings are all up in my face. So I search for photos. And oh how the photos make the feelings overflow! So on this day…when words aren’t going to do this day justice, I will celebrate him with […]

This little guy has become such a big part of our family!  He is the perfect fit for us and is quite a spunky little thing. He misses us when we are gone…and doesn’t even like it when it’s time for the kids to head to school. He literally lays his body in front of […]

If we are “friends” on Facebook or Instagram buddies, I am sure you have noticed I use the hashtag #imtheluckyone quite often when it comes to my kids.  There are those that have seen that hashtag and said “Your kids are lucky to have YOU!”. My response is instantly “while my kids are lucky to […]

Sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure I am aware that I get to make a dream of mine and a creative outlet into my full time job! It’s my reality, friends….and it is so, so good. After a very full year of family session and amazing weddings, I find it hard to pick […]

In the 8 years that I have had the honor of being this girls mama, I have never been in such awe when photographing her. Let’s be real here! Haley is VERY used to having a camera in her face.  Even back in the “un-digital” days of film photography…I took a LOT of photos. And […]
