Dear You know who Y’all are,   For approximately 30 minutes I’ve tried to figure out what to say.   How to say a big enough thank you.  How to possibly let you know what has happened in my heart because of your kindness.  And the truth is – I don’t have words.  I only have […]

I grew up sitting on the sidelines. Watching. Wishing I were there.  Experiencing that exciting life.  Savoring.  Enjoying.  LIVING. But, there I sat watching.  Thinking there was something remarkable I just didn’t possess.  Imagining that God had just chosen to leave me out.  And day-dreaming of what I could do if only…(insert character trait, magical […]

These two people have my heart. I spent one of my favorite afternoons laughing, skipping and smiling with them. I left with my heart soaring.  And even more in love with what I do.  And the clients God has given me.   Carabeth and Ben, oh how I love you two.  More than I can […]

There are certain emails that stop your world. This one did. I kept reading the words over and over…pregnant…I started bleeding. My heart sank.  My lip quivered.  My stomach turned. It was all too familiar. I ached for her.  I wanted to hold her hand.  I wanted to say with every confidence it was going […]

Once upon a time, a girl fell in love with photography. Not just sort of in love, but all-out-flash-dance-worthy-obsessed love.

Meet a family that honestly changed my whole heart.  A family that has seen so much pain and found a way to absorb it all with love.  A family that has dreams big.  A family that is telling a beautiful story…. (Please go read Corbett’s blog.  Honestly, the first night I came across it, 5 […]

Toys”R”Us changes lives. At least in their case it did. They met on the sales floor.  She had butterflies and he couldn’t help but notice the new girl.  After a while they started dating and then… They broke up. Life took them in two different directions.  They dated other people.  But those other people just […]

I laid there unable to keep my mind from doing double back-flips with an arabesque. My heart began to race.  And that eery all-the-blood-just-left-my-extremities came on in a flash. It’s officially begun. The countdown.  And the holy-cow-I’m-going-to-lose-it-moments. The truth is? I’m scared.  Really scared. I’m scared of chasing this dream.  I’m scared of moving.  I’m […]

Sweet little lady,   The truth is, tears welled up in my eyes as I looked through these pictures.  They are so YOU.  I remember every moment.  Every giggle.  Every dance.  Every tribute to “the Robot”. Thank you for letting me capture you. I love you more than you could ever imagine.  And being your […]
