I would like first of all to thank all of you for being patient with me this past week as we spent time with family and celebrated the life of a very beautiful woman! Over the course of the past two weeks, I’ve seen, heard, and experienced a lot of things and been reminded of …
The Journal
The Embodiment of Love
It has been a hard week and a half or so for our family. We’ve spent a great deal of time with family in keeping Ryan’s grandmother comfortable, helping as we can, and saying our goodbyes to one of the sweetest, most loving people I know. I have been blessed to be a part of …
Some Insights | Healthy Life
Late last week I made the decision to invest in something for me. I so often find myself investing in equipment, classes, books, and other things for my business, but I very rarely take the time to invest in or work on myself. So I decided to take a little money I had set aside …
Snow Puppies
Man! This winter seems to be dragging on forever! I think it’s making up for last year when it never even snowed. But Boy! Am I ready for spring! This yucky, mucky weather isn’t really conducive to outdoor portraits and that’s what I’m eagerly looking forward to! I know many of you are looking forward …
My Personal Project: Documenting the Fire
As many of you know, October 10, 2011 marked a turning point for Ryan and me. At around 4 am a spark from a socket on our back porch lit the deck ablaze and quickly spread through our home. Ryan and I were lucky enough to escape with our lives, our dog, our phones and …

Some Thoughts Today…
Well this week has started off an interesting one. It seems I’ve caught the flu bug that’s been going around. (Boo) As a business owner, being sick is terribly inconvenient. I can’t simple have someone else meet with clients, answer the phone, or take people’s portraits. So I’ve sadly been forced to reschedule this week …
Some Cinemagraphic Inspiration
I don’t know about you, but when I’m home alone, I often find myself with the TV on. Most of the time I’m not even paying attention to it. It’s mostly just on for background noise for both me and the dog (Kit loves to bark at the slightest noise). But occasionally when I’m editing …
Genuine, Honest Moments…
The past few weeks have been filled with planning, brainstorming, designing, and preparing for this new year. As I’ve been working on all these details I am reminded of how incredibly lucky I am to be a part of my clients lives. To be able to create unique pieces of art for their homes and …
