A Little About Me

I am a lover of creative expression. There are so many inspiring artists, places, people...there is beauty all around. It is such a joy to capture emotions with a bit of a flare in a photo that will be cherished. I highly recommend photography as a creative outlet to anyone.

**Also, thank you so much to all the great photographers out there as well as my incredible models that have and will continue to inspire me.**

"Oh, I'm freezin!"


Oh man!! I couldn't taken pictures of these kid-os all day! They are so darn cute. We had a lot of fun. It was a bit cold since it was December. The youngest was sitting on the little chair, fixing her dress and said..."Oooooh! I'm Freeeezin!" With a big grin on her face. hahaha....so darn cute! I keep hearing her little voice...I feel like these pictures have an audio clip with them. ;0)








Siblings....is there anything better?

Thanks for letting me take your pictures guys.
Merry Christmas!!

By Small and Simple Things...


This sweet angel has had a very exciting beginning. She's only been here for 5 months and already has too big of a story to tell.

She has battled several health challenges to get here and is doing marvelously well!

Plus, she just could not be more adorable. Don't you think?



This is the greatest yawning picture ever!! I dare you to look at it for 10 seconds and NOT yawn! hehehe...



With her courage and strength, she is sure to do
great things.

Cheers, little one!

What brings a smile to your face??


I am a sucker for a happy little one. :0) And these cute kids were just loaded with smiles and personality!! They are seriously adorable!

PHOTOGRAPHY THOUGHT OF THE DAY:
My sister is always teasing me about my "artistic" eye. She claims that I always choose the "artistic" photo over the perfectly posed picture that perhaps many of you would choose. It's true I guess...I am crazy over photos that capture a genuine moment!

So...just for the fun of it. Let's see what type YOU would choose!

To me...these next few photos are
BEAUTY, TRUE-TO-LIFE and WHIMSY.






Whereas, these next few are PERFECT SMILES for the camera.
They are such cuties...




Which pictures bring a smile to YOUR face??

Now...THIS is a picture for all tastes!!
Anyone with small children knows how hard it is to get a picture with ALL of them smiling at the camera. SCORE!!!




For this shoot, I tried manipulating sepia tones in a new way for me.
I am happy with the result and love learning new things...

But, true color is always timeless and classic.





Julie and Jay, thank you so much for thinking of me for your photos this year!! I loved seeing your family again. :0)
Happy Holidays!!
