I love first birthday shoots. Mostly because ages 6 months to 1.5 years old is my favorite time to watch these tiny humans grow. They learn so so much in this time – they walk, talk, dance, gain so much personality, interact with you constantly, learn to voice their opinions, I could go on… This […]

Toward the end of last year, and over the course of about a month, I heard the same thing from at least four different people. “You HAVE to meet Tami Faulkner; you would LOVE her.” I didn’t know Tami at the time, but clearly, I HAD to meet her. I wasn’t sure how I was […]

Sometimes I shoot from home. Especially if it’s a styled food shoot since most of my props and equipment are here at home. The other day while shooting for a client, I was finishing up and the kids hopped on to my set. They had a bowl of grapes, and the grapes plus their sweet […]

As soon as Ellery, age 2, introduced herself, I knew this was going to be a great Table Mountain sunset session. She was outgoing, sassy, full of energy and so so sweet. Her mom, Samantha – a talented fellow photographer, had booked the session for her and her two children as a Mother’s Day present […]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again; I am not the authority on interior photography (far from it) but I have learned a few tips and tricks along the way, and I thought I would share a few of my favorites with you. These are all things you can look up on the […]

It’s crazy how busy life gets after kids. There’s school, sports, dance classes, kids’ friends, playdates, etc. And if you have friends with kids that are even slightly older or younger than yours, then you can bet that their activities and schedules are completely different from yours. All this to say, it’s really hard to […]

You know what they say about our lovely planet; it’s a small world. That sentiment gets even stronger in a small town. Living in a small town gives you plenty of opportunities to meet all sorts of people, time and time again. However, it wasn’t until a few months ago that I met the talented […]

Over the past year, I’ve consciously shifted my photography business from portrait photography over to almost all interiors photography. That’s not to say I don’t still love doing portrait sessions, it’s just not my main focus right now. But this time of year, the blossoms are insanely beautiful so I wanted to keep my schedule […]

When I think of the first impression of a home, my mind goes straight to the entryway. Some might think that the front yard is the first impression, and it may very well be to a passerby. Personally though, I believe that to a guest of your home, the entryway is the very first impression. […]

Ahhhhh… the amazingness that is a girls weekend! Girls weekends have a little different meaning these days – since two of my best girlfriends have baby girls the same age as my daughter, Eleanor. Our girls weekends used to consist of adult “girls” drinking lots of champagne, going to pool parties, and late nights out. […]
