I almost always use only natural light. Like 95% of the time. I carry a flash, a really nice flash, and I break it out when I want some fill light. But it doesn't happen that often. This week, however, I've been doing some experimenting with using the flash (or flashes) as my primary source … Continue reading Primary
Jonathan & Laura
Jonathan & Laura are a fun loving couple about to be married. We met up at Cathedral Park to make some photos for their save the date's. It was so much fun to shoot with them as they had me cracking up with all the different poses they wanted to play with (American Gothic, anyone?). … Continue reading Jonathan & Laura
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
Senior Shoot – Ashleigh

One … Continue reading Senior Shoot – Ashleigh
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

The kids are scattered throughout the house - two are lounging on the couch, reading long books, and two are outside playing catch. The drawings they were working on earlier are waiting to either be put be away or paid attention to again. It’s 10:30 and this is the summer that I love. Slow and … Continue reading June 20, 2016
June 17th, 2016 – Five for Friday
First day of Summer! So so so glad it is here. My attempt to sleep in was thwarted by my own forgetfulness at deleting my daily alarm. Ah well, there’s always tomorrow. And the next day, and the next. What I’m watching: This 8th grade graduation speech is so great. The kid does impressions of … Continue reading June 17th, 2016 – Five for Friday
June 15, 2016
It’s been a few days. 12 to be exact. My excuse is my schedule changed (no more preschool) and I haven’t figured out how to fit writing in. My youngest really wants a lot (A. LOT.) of attention when there are no siblings around to play with. Although that is an excuse - a fairly … Continue reading June 15, 2016
June 3, 2016 Five for Friday

What I’m reading - Telling Lies, by Paul Ekman. He’s a psychologist that focuses on emotion and how our bodies … Continue reading June 3, 2016 Five for Friday
