Welcome to the personal blog post section of my site. Here I hope to give my clients a glimpse into my life as a Christian, wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend, and photographer. I share personal stories and images about my travels, my family, and other photographic inspirations. And if this doesn’t satisfy your need to know more about me, be sure to add me as a friend on Facebook or check out my randomness on Twitter
On this day 14 years ago, I married my best friend. And honestly, I can’t imagine sharing my life with anyone else but him. I’m a better person for having married Tim, truly I am; I love him with all of my heart every single day. It’s sort of become a regular thing to go […]
We’re animal people, Tim and I both. Since we were both small children, we have always have had a deep love for animals. As a couple our first baby was Beatrice, our sweet smashed face little pug dog (otherwise known as a Dutch bulldog). Our second baby was Gunther, our stubborn French bulldog. The minute […]
Well it took a little longer than usual this year, but I think I’m FINALLY in the Christmas spirit. For some reason I found myself just kind of going through the motions. Life can just get so chaotic sometimes! This is a month full of a lot of activity for us and for some reason […]
On Thanksgiving (and every day), for these things I am grateful: Having the basic necessities in life that so many of us take for granted: food, clothing, shelter and love. That our God is loving and merciful and for the promise that Jesus Christ holds for us. For my husband who is a good man […]
When Pastor Glen from North City Church contacted me about Unite Everything 4, I was totally down to support the cause. Pastor Glenn and his youth group are doing some amazing work here in Sactown and giving back to the community in some extraordinary ways. You might remember the last UniteEverything event, Unite Everything 3 […]
Ever since I saw Wings over California, I’ve challenged myself and my family to get out and enjoy our state a little more. I mean, California is a pretty cool place with a lot of great things to do and see, so we should get out and enjoy it all, right? So we decided to […]
School starts up for the kids next week and Megan is four this year, so it was time to take her and her brother to the Happiest Place on Earth (no not the local brewery, it’s Disneyland). Last time we went as a family, Megan was just a sparkle in Daddy’s eye and Mitchell was […]
I had the pleasure of meeting Pastor Glen at Shaun and Brittany’s wedding in May. Glen is the Lead Pastor at North City Church here in Sacramento. I have to say, it was one of the most touching ceremonies I’ve photographed and so much of that had to do with Glen and how he conducted […]
It’s been a long time since we’ve gone on a real road trip. I will admit that I was a little skeptical when we loaded all our stuff (including our two children) in the Volvo for what was going to amount to hours and hours of driving over several days. On the itinerary, the Grand […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about what to write for this post. In a time where a lot of marriages don’t last and people give up on each other I’m really happy to say that my sweet husband and I are staying the course. Marriage takes commitment and sometimes work from both parties. Not all […]
