On the Blo g

Sweaty hair from playing hard. Check. Riding a bike in a pretty pink dress before photos. Check. A less-than-thrilled attitude about having to get her picture taken. Check. A mom who got her children up, fed, and nicely dressed before 9:00 am. Check. These were the ingredients that we mixed together to get this lovely, […]

My last Ute Valley session for the season (too many snakes in summer – no thank you!) was a lovely little Mommy & Me mini session with Erin and her three delightful girls! Erin was one of the first people to put her faith in me to capture family photos back in the fall of […]

Jessica and her babies are just beautiful. Promise is evidently such a sweet big sister and happily helps keep an eye on the wild and adventurous 2-year-old that is her little brother, Brave. Her connection with her mom is also undeniable. These three are close and all have a strong bond and love for one […]

It is always a joy to spend time with a family that loves and adores one another and wants you to take pictures of them.

Also, some iPhone photos are included in this post.   To the best of our knowledge, the last time my siblings, Rebekah and Daniel, and I were together for Daniel’s birthday was in 2008. When he […]

What a family!! Ella is so evidently kind and also has an interest in photography. Aubrey is always aware of what her siblings may need and is willing to help. Samuel is a gently fierce little boy with a smile that will warm you down to your toes. William takes a tenacious approach to life […]

Plans don’t always work out as we hope. Though I myself am not yet a parent, my teaching career has given me plenty of experience with children to know they have a way of throwing a wrench into your perfectly laid plans. Bryn, John, and their kids arrived on time. As they started piling out […]
