Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible. – Unknown   Some emails that I receive are so thoughtful and sweet, my day is immediately made.  (Yes, I have the coolest clients)  And when I got her email saying they wanted to surprise their mom with a photo […]

To know them is to love them. To realize that you’ve been blessed just to have met such amazing people. People who serve until it hurts. People who love deeply. People who listen with their whole selves. People who can instantly make your day better with the most hilarious and unexpected comment ever. People who […]

A trip half-way across the world made it all clear. She was the one. The one he wanted to spend all of his days with.  The one he wanted to grow old with.  To laugh with.  To explore this beautiful life God has given us… And she knew it wasn’t just another relationship.  This was […]

I can’t think. I’m trying to watch a workshop on photography, but my mind keeps wandering.  (the workshop?  Master Your Craft by Mike Colon and Bob Davis. GREAT stuff…) Because right now he’s chasing a dream. My husband is sitting in an interview sharing who he is (and all the awesome-ness that goes with) and […]

I sometimes can’t believe that I get to work with people so kind, so loving, so encouraging and so beautiful. This lady?  She’s every.last.one. Twice over even. When she emailed me that she wanted to do another session – I squealed.  Because I was SO excited to spend time with her.  We could catch up […]

I love my kids.  Ridiculously so.  And one of my favorite things?  The things that they say.  For example: (and just in case you didn’t know – I am 36 weeks pregnant.   That would be an important detail for this to make sense) Hannah: I could break your water, mom. Me: I don’t think so, […]

You’d think we’re crazy. And in some ways you’d be right. For about a year, we’ve sensed a change needed to happen. I wasn’t able to be fully me anymore.  Ted’s job wasn’t the right fit for him. And that whole being stuck in our house for about 7 months of the year due to […]

Trampolines were shown who was boss. I was inspired to learn to do a back-flip…once I’m not 35 weeks pregnant, of course. Tutus were twirled. Tag was played. And hugs, kisses and love reigned in abundance. Meet the ever-so-sweet Carsten Family.   And to view more from their fun-packed session, CLICK HERE to see their […]

It’s the weekend.  I normally don’t post.  But there was just too much awesome-ness to not at least post a little glimpse of what’s coming next week…

I squealed. It was the only proper response. I have loved the wedding and engagement details/ideas/pictures that Brit (landlocked bride) has posted for a while and I knew I wanted to share some of my incredible engaged couples with her.  So when I heard back from her that today, one of those awesome couples, Sarah […]
