In honor of Good Friday today I wanted to post something to remind us of the meaning behind this season. I truly believe that Jesus is in all of us. That there is a part of His love, compassion and beauty in everyone. Sometimes people forget or they just don’t know Him yet, but buried …
The Journal
A Hug…
I don’t know when it happened. I only know why. For so long, I felt so alone. I felt like no one would ever love me. Probably because I didn’t really love me. Meet high school Stephanie. She was shy, quiet, and incredibly self-conscious. She worried about everything: getting good grades, being liked by everyone, …
DIY Project: Fabric Covered Bulletin Board
So today I thought I’d share a project I’d been wanting to do and finally finished for myself. I’m a huge fan of DIY projects, and so I’m often undertaking little projects around the house I want to do. This past week I’ve been working on making one of those fabric covered bulletin boards for …
The Updated Website is Here!!!
Well it’s official! The new improved website is finally up and running, & I couldn’t be happier. If you haven’t been on my website very much, you may be wondering what I’m even talking about because the overall look of my site hasn’t really changed. I may be biased, but I love my branding so …
Through the Eyes of a Child
I love kids! I really do! I enjoy when I get to play with my dear friend, Amber’s, little guy & gal. (You’ve seen them many times here on my blog since I am luck enough to get to take pictures of them on a rather regular basis.) Kids are just so entertaining! They have …
Healthy Kick
This past Saturday I spent 13 hours helping the hubby lay three rooms of carpet and one room of vinyl. It was a long day, but it was so nice to be able to help him with his side job and to get to meet the wonderful family we were working for. But after the …
Light at the End of the Tunnel…
I’m finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We’ve got 80% of our kitchen cabinets back together and almost all the doors are fully painted. So I’m optimistic that by the end of the week I’ll have the kitchen completely done (& then I can post pictures). Of course knowing …
Andrea & Richards Engagement Session | Decatur, IL | Engagement Photography
The weather was wonderful this past Saturday. It had warmed up nicely outside and the sun was shining when I met up with Andrea & Richard at Rock Springs for their engagement session. I had been looking forward to taking pictures of these two for quite a while since Andrea booked me for her wedding …
Why Did I…?
A couple weeks ago, someone asked a question: “Why did you get into photography in the first place?” I thought it was an interesting question and one worth really thinking about. So I’ve been reminiscing and contemplating about where and why I started this crazy journey into creating my own photography business. So many photographers …
A Friday Update…
It’s Thursday night and I’m sitting in my living room trying to decide what to share with you. Sometimes it can be hard coming up with things to post on this little space amidst the enormity of the internet…especially when I’m in my slow season. But things are finally starting to pick up around here. …
