For me, art and photography have been my lifelong loves. It started with pencils and markers at my Grandma's desk, filling notebook after notebook with drawings. From there it moved on to watercolor, acrylics and taking every art class my high school counselor would let me.
I got my first camera for Christmas in sixth grade. I took pictures of mountains on our vacations, flowers, my brother....you name it. I loved capturing the moments, the colors and the light.
As I got older I would pour over art and photography books. At first admiring others work and then later studying their techniques so that I could create the visions bursting in my head.
Fast forward to 2005 and starting my own photography business. I am now blessed to be putting my love for art and photography into creating memorable portraits for my clients and their families. My style is simple, no fuss, no props. Only great locations and natural light, capturing my subjects in creative, memorable portraits.
Cannot say enough about the love that surrounds this baby boy. He is loved by his parents, grandparents and many uncles that will guide him as he grows up.
It was my joy to photograph this little one’s mama as she carried him and I could not wait to do this newborn session.
have a great weekend!

“Some of my friends are like freckles. There’s actually no explanation for my affection for them. Who knows why or of what use freckles are; yet I kind of like mine and would miss them very much if they were gone.”

It has finally arrived…kindergarten. I am feeling excited and sad all at the same time. He will do great, he will love it and he will officially be a big boy.

I have had great fun with my senior sessions this summer. This one was no different, except there is something a little extra special about this young man…he’s my cousin. He will be a senior at Hastings High School. I loved hearing about what lies ahead for his senior year as well as his plans for college.
Our session took place on the Hastings College campus. We had wonderful buildings full of character and lush, green grounds as our backdrop.
Here are a few of my favorites…
And because I know he will want to see it–the ALASKA shirt!
