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
The holiday season is full of so many wonderful occasions for our family. My birthday, our son’s birthday, Christmas decorating, baking, shopping and wrapping, Christmas cards, celebrations at school and home, dare I go on? Sometimes it’s just too easy to get caught up in getting it all in, and not take the time to […]
When opportunity knocks…I listen. One of my fabulous couples, Sarah and Bill (who you will read more about in my next post), booked a wedding package that included an engagement session. It’s not really a destination wedding, but they are in the Bay area and I’m in Sacramento…so when we talked about locations we both […]
This year I have so much to be grateful for and I am counting my blessings on Thanksgiving (and always). These are just a few of the MANY things I am thankful for in my life… My husband Tim and the love and patience he has for me. I’m not sure where I would be […]
I don’t specialize in commercial photography, but I have one client who allows me to be creative and take what I consider to be “beauty” shots of their products which keeps it interesting. Well my latest assignment took me to new heights, literally! To get the right perspective and truly show off their work, I […]
Growing up in Arizona, we didn’t really have seasons. It was more like warm, hot, even hotter, and scalding with not much in between. Since moving to Sacramento I’ve really come to appreciate the real differences that come with each time of year. Just when I was feeling tired of the heat and summer…walla, here […]
It’s that time of year again, back to school. The feeling of going back to school doesn’t seem the same without that crisp Autumn air I remember when school started back in my day…wait, did I just say that? WOW, now I sound like my mother. Wait, my mother’s a blog reader, Mom, I didn’t […]
It’s been a crazy summer so far. I’ve been working on a commercial photography project (which has been lots of fun) but, has kept me from the blog a little longer than I like. Since it’s been so busy, Tim and I decided we needed a break from day to day life. We elected to […]
Yesterday was our little girl’s third birthday. I know it sounds cliché, but honestly, it seems like just yesterday that she was born. The memory of her birth is so vivid, even today. But, that’s probably because she came so fast there was no time for an epidural (and I make no qualms about it, […]
What a fantastic 10 days with the family! It was so nice to get away from all of life’s daily distractions and spend some real quality time with my husband and two children. This year’s family vacation started with a flight to Fort Lauderdale, Florida to catch a 7 day cruise to the southern Caribbean. […]
I finally jumped on the full frame bandwagon this week with my new Nikon D700 camera. I must say, I do love it. So, today my little guy had a Spring Sing concert with his first grade class. It was the perfect opportunity to try out my new gear in low light and see how […]
