Magic.

I had the pleasure of being a part of a proposal last month, and I was asked to do the happy couple's engagement photos last week. We had such a wonderful day and I'm so pleased with how well the photos came out. It was a LONG day but we had a blast! There aren't enough congratulations for you, but for what it's worth, here's one more... Congratulations! My favorites can be found in my "engagements" page.

Growing.

A new client contacted me a couple weeks ago to schedule a session, and mentioned that she was a mom of "2.5". She and her husband had just announced their third pregnancy and were anxious to capture some photos of their family of four... while they were still four! It was a great session and I can't wait to do her maternity and newborn sessions later this year! Favorites can be seen in my Families portfolio.


God bless!

"Just a mom with a camera"

A wonderful photographer named Jamie Swanson recently posted in her blog under the title: "Confessions of a photographer". I don't think I could have described myself any better than she did. Here's an except from that blog, it gave me some excellent insight into myself and my business. Interesting, coming from someone who's never met me....

"...Let’s get real for a moment.

Running a business is stinking hard....I’m just a normal person.
I’m just a “Mom with a camera” who struggles with balance
and time management and with worries and everything just like you do.

Yes, I know business. I have a lot of tools at my disposal, 

but that doesn't make me immune to the struggle.

I burned out working a full time job as well as doing photography in the evenings and weekends.

I worry about booking enough clients. 

I worry about cash flow and savings. 

I work far too many hours into the day and night, and struggle with finding balance...

I work in my pajamas most days, and my house is a mess. 

In fact, I’m in need of a shower right now too.

But you know what?

It’s worth it."

I love what I do. I love each and every one of you for being a part of what I do. Thanks for all of your support.
