Can we start today with a secret???? We’re 27 days into 2022 and I have yet to pick up my camera to snap a single personal shot. Not one. (Another secret….I had to write a cheque 😱 today and wrote the date as the 29th then sent it with my kid to school – so […]

So! You have a camera and you want to keep working on your craft. I see you! I was you! The very best way to improve is to PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! But, I also know that it can sometimes be overwhelming deciding where to start. That’s where having a purpose to your shooting can help. […]

This fall marks my 8 year business-versary (totally a word, right?). 10 years ago I picked up a DSLR for the very first time. 8 years ago I first snapped the shutter for someone other than my family. Hundreds of families and sessions later, here I am. In a place I am so darn proud […]

The year was 2012. I’d just escaped the house after my 7 month old daughter had gone to sleep for the night (laughable – she was probably asleep for 45 min as she never slept!). I drove to Wal-mart and decided it was time to buy a real camera. Real as in it wasn’t a […]

Just laying it all out there…. Literally! Emptying my whole camera bag for the world to see and attempting to make it look pretty. 🙈 Want to know how to make me freak out? Ask me to be on a really big photography blog (scary!), then ask me to pick a few images to be […]

When you’re pregnant, well-meaning people tell you a million random pieces of advice. Right? Sleep when baby sleeps (totally useless advice for me). Shower and get dressed to feel better (meh, decent). Stick to a schedule at all costs. Don’t worry about a schedule. Have a flexible schedule. Go with the flow. Be rigid and […]

It was the last week of June 2011 and I was approximately 8 million weeks pregnant. (Or 37 weeks…but, I swear her head felt like a 10 lb bowling ball that was seconds away from dropping out of my body, so it felt like 8 million weeks.). It was a sweltering day and I’d been sitting in my […]

Tell me if you’ve been in this situation….. The moment is amazing. Your kid is being CUTE AF. You must take a photo of this. You run and grab your phone. Your think….this is going to go viral on Instagram. Watch me become F-A-M-O-U-S. You line everything up. You tap the shutter. You look at […]

Before I started my photography journey I had no idea about the roller coaster that is the creative process. I find with client work I’m generally inspired as I’m in different homes with different light and I can always find new angles and framing options. But my own house? My own kids?
