Spencer
Spencer needed senior pictures and wasn't all that excited about the idea, honestly. Sometimes you just do it because the yearbook (and your dad) says you need to. He was really hoping for something incredibly quick and easy. So that's what we did. We went to one location and knocked it all out in less than … Continue reading Spencer
Senior Session – Cameron
You guys, can I just tell you how much I love doing senior pictures? Especially when I get to meet people like Cameron & his mom Shannon. And even more especially when they take me somewhere they absolutely love, like Cameron's favorite place to be: the skate park. It is so much stinkin' fun for … Continue reading Senior Session – Cameron
Pfleger headshots
The Pfleger family needed some updated head shots so we rented a studio and shot these beauties. The girls were quick and totally professional, which was great - especially since it was an incredibly hot day and the studio air conditioner wasn't working. They didn't show the discomfort though, and we got some great shots. Thanks, girls! … Continue reading Pfleger headshots
Mother Nurture Montessori Preschool
I'd never actually been in a Montessori preschool before last week. I've heard about them, and truthfully, I thought my son's preschool was sort of similar to Montessori, but now I know it's not.

My people still need me in a … Continue reading Wallace’s

Owen – at home
I went to visit Owen again last week. Some of you might remember he had a traumatic brain injury and was in the hospital for months. He's home now. He's full of energy and full of life. He still has a good amount of recovering to do and frequent physical therapy appointments. He's recovered so much … Continue reading Owen – at home
