Today we’re going to talk Bucket List Photo Locations. I’ve been in business since March of 2017 so I’ve done a LOT of photo sessions. When you’re first starting out, you shoot anywhere that the client wants. Oh, I’ve shot in so many places that I look back on now and shake my head at. […]

Today we’re going to talk about when you should reschedule your photo session. I have to be honest here…I’m not one of those hard core, heavy duty photographers who will shoot in tornados and gale force winds and epic snow storms.

I’ve been wanting to do more at home maternity photos since the last session I did, two-ish years ago, when the couple I photographed opted out of sharing their session online (cue all the weeping). Imagine my delight when Kari reached out earlier this winter, requesting an in-home lifestyle maternity session. She and her husband, […]

This morning I had a talk with my kiddos on the drive to their Friday tutorial program. See, I had some things to say to my son and I figured it was a message that my girls could benefit from as well. It all spurred from a concern Tanner brought to my attention last night. […]

My journey to meeting Sarah was such kismet. Kismet. Noun. Meaning destiny or fate. A handful of years ago, I started seeing Facebook posts about the annual Howard County hot air balloon festival.
