Welcome to my
Blog & Galleries.. After much thought I decided it would be easier if I combined both sites into one. Take a look around, check out my galleries, my posts, just cruise my site and have fun. I love comments so leave me a few.
A little bit about my photography...
I see life through the eyes of my children. My 3 boys inspire not only my creativity but a sense of wonder I try to catch moments and glimpses of time that are preserved in a single moment. I’m not here to create the perfect family portrait, I want to capture YOU, the laughs, the silliness, and the little imperfections that we see in our everyday life. I try to capture you the way I would want to be captured.
I am by no means formal; I’m more of blue jeans, sandals, barefoot kind of girl. I want you be as comfortable as possible. If you decide I'm the photographer for you, please contact me and I will send all the information needed.

What do you do on a boring weekend night?
Well for me, I decided to grab my camera, get my tripod and head up stairs to my bedroom and take a few shots..
o.k. people get your head out of the gutter
I was trying to be some-what artistic..I’m not sure how well I did but here are a few of my attempts..
A few self-portraits and a couple of things around my room.
I was digging through some old pictures, and I found these of me when I was little. I don’t have that many pictures of me, my mom said they just didn’t take as many by the time I came around (thanks mom). That’s probably why i take so many pictures of my kids..
I love the ones of me and my sister, she was always there for me, making sure I was o.k. Take a look at that awesome bike of hers, those curved handle bars and that awesome rear view mirror. She had it goin’ on.
I was pretty much a happy go lucky kind of kid, I think that’s still how I am today. But as I’m looking at my teeth they are pretty much spaced out to the max..Lookin’ a little scary.
I have to say: I loved my life, I loved the good ol’ days, I loved that I didn’t have a care in the world, and I loved that I had/have two parents that loved me very much!!!
I have been trying to write this post for awhile, but when I sit down I’m not sure where to begin. This first post is all about Trent. If you have read my blog before you know that Trent is like one of my boys. I have known him ever since he was little. When someone walks in your house and never knocks, that’s when you know their family. That’s what it has been like with Trent and his family for years. Trent is leaving Friday to help defend out country and we couldn’t be more proud of him. But, when I think of him leaving it brings tears to my eyes. I’m just at a loss for words. I don’t know how these parents do it, watching their kids leave. It breaks my heart.
It was so nice that Trent was home for awhile over Christmas break. And to my surprise, my door flung open and in he walked yelling ” Women I’m hungry, make me something to eat”. He has quite a loud voice but I wouldn’t change him for the world. He has a few other saying but it’s better I don’t post those. He always has me shaking my head and laughing. I wanted to put a few pictures of him up so he knows that were thinking of him. Trent, there’s a lot of people that love you and are thinking of you. We’ll see you when you get home..
Now to Trent and Brittney..
I don’t know what it is about young couples that I love. Especially one’s that I know and have watched grow up. Whenever I’ve taken Trent’s pictures it’s always been a little hectic. Like I said before, he can be loud. I can say he was on his best behavior on this shoot. I’m sure I owe all that to Brittney. (thank you Brittney) We had fun crawling over a fence to get back to this abandoned building, and to my surprise there was a couch there which i loved. I love the ones of them laughing and being silly. I don’t think these two could get any cuter. The last two pictures are some of my favorites.
Brittney your in our thoughts also doing this hard time..
From our Family to Yours, I hope your have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Last week I had the best time with the Seidel family..We went to a new location and we loved it ( except for those dang mosquitoes) . They are so much fun and it’s been nice getting to no them over the last year and half. Our boys are good friends and they played soccer together. So sorry it’s taken me this long to get your pictures up. Enjoy!!
We had so much fun on this session. I first have to give Kelsey kudos for braving the wasps, red ants, and of course the famous Asp Caterpillar. Thank god she didn’t get stung by one, but i did (those little things can pack a punch). Her dad would have killed me considering she plays soccer and all. Kelsey is another girl whom I’ve known since she was little. I have had some great times vacationing with her family in Destin. This first pictures is one of my favorites from her shoot, it was hard to decided which ones to pick.
Kelsey I hope you have a awesome Senior Year..
This is the lovely Miss Heather who I had a wonderful time photographing. She is so cute, and what a great smile. She was referred to me by Jansu my senior rep and I swear they can be sisters, but they are best-friends so that’s close enough. Before the shoot I did a couple family shots so there’s a sneak peek on here for mom and dad..
Yesterday, I had so much fun photographing Sierra, who by the way is so photogenic. My camera just loved her and so did i. I am having the hardest time trying to narrow my selection of pictures. I’m loving them all. My youngest son thinks she looks a little like Taylor Swift which isn’t a bad thing.
I have known Austin and his family for 14 yrs. and they are one of our closest friends. I always find it a little sad when I see these kids all grown up. We decided to do a double shoot with Austin and his girlfriend Devin, who by the way is just adorable. During the shoot we did have to brave the wasps on the bus and the mosquitoes all over the place. Thank god we were prepared with bug spray so Garrett and Blake could chase them down (which was quite funny to watch) and get rid of all of them. I just love this first picture of them together, it just reminds me of young love.
This is my Senior Rep who has done a awesome job. We were finally able to get our second session in, I didn’t think it would ever stop raining. Jansu also brought me a yummy bundt cake which was delicious. Thank you again Jansu for that. It was a little chilly but we still had a great time.
