I have been told… more than once… that I’m a very intentional person. And I’d never really thought about it, but that is true. If you were to walk into my home, you’ll see a painting I made that has two birds and a fiery sunset… to me it symbolizes the strength of our love …
Seven Years
7 years. To some that may seem like a small number and yet to others that might seem like an incredibly long time. These days, to say you’ve been married for seven years is quite a statement. And I know that I am incredibly blessed for this man I get to call mine. I had …

My Favorite Time of Year
This is honestly – my favorite time of year. There is so much I love about fall and not just because I’m a photographer. I mean yes – I love the fall colors in photos and the amazing glowy warm light. But I love the feel of fall. That calm quiet that covers the land …
