I’ve been faithful to my ‘Project 52’ but it’s been awhile since I’ve featured one of photos here on the site. This week however, I just had to share because I made a fun little .gif to companion my photo submission.  The theme was...

Lil’ Blue Eyes Turns One

by | Sep 5, 2013 | All Posts, Photoblog | 2 comments

Wait until you see the baby blues on this little guy.  I love photographing blue eyes.  I think it’s because my kids eyes are dark as coffee and while I love the contrast with their blonde hair, the blue eyes just grab me.  But that’s not all this...

How Eve and Alex stole my heart

She lives about an hour away, we have kids, and husbands, and crazy lives.  So when one of my dearest friends asked me to photograph her kids I jumped at the chance to see her!  Normally I would bring my kids so they could all play together but this time I wanted she...

Dear Andrew, You’ve been here just a short while, but already you’re life is full of miracles. First of all, your Mom and Dad waited a long time for you.  So you, little man, were loved deeply long before you were born. In this gorgeous, light filled...

I remember thinking as we were driving down to the rehearsal dinner that nothing better happen to this car full of people, we’ve got the Flower Girl, the Photographer and the Minister all together here! That’s just the kind of wedding this was, a family...

About a week and a half ago I had the pleasure of photographing the Chic Couture Summer Fashion Show.  My friend Jen owns the incredibly popular boutique (3 of them actually) and it’s my favorite place to shop, hands down.  This was the 3rd show she’s put...

This past wednesday was Grace’s last day as a preschooler.  Lucky for us we had very little time to hang our heads and cry over how time flies because we had to turn around and get ready for her dance recital at Cleo Parker Robinson. I love to watch these girls...

Making Room for Baby

Whenever possible, I like to disappear into the background so that whoever I’m photographing almost forgets that I’m there.  That way the story just unfolds through the lens. The authenticity of the moment.  The real deal. My beautiful sister recently gave...

Welcoming Danny

I had the privilege of witnessing my newest nephew Danny being born this past Monday. Early that morning it looked like things were progressing quickly so I grabbed my camera and headed to the hospital.  Before I left I took a quick photo of Tommy to capture him in...

Some words about Jack…

Despite being behind in posting this birthday picture there was no way I was going to let this one slide.  Jared and I love doing this little tradition together, it’s fun to think about what makes your kid ‘funny’ or ‘cool’ or melt your...

#1 Vacation with grandparents #2 When you bring the grandparents, just listen to them. When this Grandma told me her craft plans for the kids that involved foam pieces, seashells and beads all I could picture was said items all over the floor of my car.  But I’m...

The Beach

Oh the beach. How I miss the beach. The wind was actually really cold the first day but it didn’t stop us.  Armed with sweatshirts and hats and jackets we headed down.  Look at my handsome boys looking too cool on their stroll.  Here’s Luke’s very...

If you follow me on Instagram or if we’re friends on Facebook then you may have noticed last week that we took a road trip for Spring Break.  We spent the week with family down in Crystal Beach, TX and it was in a word: awesome. Traveling has been on my mind a...

Natural Beauty

This weeks project 52 theme is ‘Natural Beauty’. When I was a little girl, about my daughters age, my face was covered in freckles. With my strawberry blond hair I really didn’t stand a chance. Of course at the time I hated it. I used to stare in the...

Just in time

As I pulled down the long driveway I became increasingly excited.  Not only because I hadn’t seen my friend in a couple of years, but because I was getting to see her pregnant, with twins!  She lives in the mountains so I had all kinds of ideas for photos around...
