• Hello :)

    You've come across my photography blog, hopefully on purpose, so please sit, get comfy, and have a look around! You'll find lots of client sneak peeks, new product information, business updates and offers, and a story or two about my personal life, so you can get to know me a little better, and understand my passion for photography! I truly love what I do, and I try to convey that here on my blog! Feel free to leave as many comments as you like - I love to hear from all of you :)

#1

I LOVE NEWBORNS!

They make me so happy:)

#2

On a totally different love kind of level, I also LOVE Shark Week!  Yay, I cannot wait for it to start, I’ve got my tivo all ready to go!  James teases me, he says I’m too obsessed, but then whent i starts he gets just as excited and always checks the tivo to make sure it’s going strong with all kinds of killer shark shows!  So I know he’s secretly excited that I’m smitten on it, because otherwise he would have to admit he is.

#3

I am doing my first VA Momtog photo class tomorrow, and I’m super excited!  I’ve had so much fun doing them out in CA, and I cannot wait to teach these ladies how to put those expensive cameras to use!!

#4

I have created a monster!

I first picked up an SLR camera in High School, and ever since then I have made my little sister and her friends model for me, haha.  Well, recently I’ve come to realize that using her so much for practice has backfired.  Now every time I go home I have to do photos of her, the girl is obsessed.  It’s ok though, she’s gorgeous, and we always have tons of fun!  Here’s some of my faves from the pics I did this month for her and Mike – and yes, this is the same boyfriend, and even though they aren’t even engaged, this is like their 3rd “engagement” type session, haha.

haha – see, always lots of fun though!   lol

I missed posting this pic around the 4th since I was on vacation, but I still want to share it:)

Back home they shoot the fireworks over the lake and everyone goes out on their boats to watch, it’s so much fun, and makes for an amazing view!  Enjoy,

HAPPY WEEKEND

Little man here rounds off their family with 3 boys!  What a cute family they are too!  I did a family session for them a while back, so I was thrilled to come and meet the new addition : )

He is so cute, so scrunchy, so sweet, and so loved! Lucky little guy ; )

Chantha - Oh my goodness! these are just too PRECIOUS!

Cute cute family!

Since I’m not doing FFF while I’m on vacation I figured I should at least blog this cute cute family:)

Brooke is a photog friend of mine, and we’ve had this session planned for a while!  Her boys are so stinkin’ cute, and she’s gorgeous, so who wouldn’t have fun?!!

Here’s a few faves I wanted to share – hope everyone is having a great summer!

#1

This is 2 Friday’s combined, because I’m on vacation:) YAY!

And look what I get to wake up to every morning – jealous??  haha

I took this this morning with my iPhone, with the Pano app – it’s the coolest app ever, you should get it if you have an iPhone, it really rocks!

#2

Wanna see some funny cakes?  Check out this site – it’s hilarious! haha   I found it when I was looking for some cake ideas for my sister’s graduation cake, which I am proud to say turned out way better than all of those  :)

#3

Was learning cursive really necessary?

#4

Sharing these photos here is long over do, so here ya go – enjoy this little sweetheart, she is a miracle baby, and as precious as they come!  I enjoyed my time with her and her loving parents so very much!

#5

Commercials always get me!  All the time I’m like “Oh my gosh babe, look what that does, we must have it!”  haha  I never get the stuff, thanks to my hubbs, but I always leave the living room thinking that was the coolest thing ever!  Well recently I saw a commercial for Lash Stiletto Mascara, so I got it at Target, and guess what, the commercial totally lied to me!!  Not cool, right?!  That stuff is horrible, and I threw it away, but I was more hurt that I was promised great volume and length, when all I really got was watered down gook:( Definitely grab a different kind when you are standing in the make-up isle in need of eyelash enhancement:)

HAPPY FRIDAY!

I am loving the new 4×8 Accordion Books from Mpix Pro – they are so cool!  And to make them even better, Jamie Schultz has fabulous templates!  I made this one for a sample, and have already sold 3 since I got this one in!  Everybody loves them!!
