Tonight I got to hang out with John and Liz and shoot them some sweet engagement shots. I had so much fun. Aaaand I can’t wait to show you more…

Shooting weddings is fun. That’s all there is to it. Waking up with the anticipation of a great wedding day is like drugs for me…. and I can’t get enough! That’s why I jump on any opportunity I can to shoot a wedding… whether it’s my own clients I’m shooting for, or helping another photographer… […]

I never considered myself “fashionable”. I was a jock-ette in high school… which meant I always had a game or a swim meet and had to wear team shirts and sweats etc. After high school, I worked at an Aquatics Center where I constantly had to battle wet hair and smelling like a pool. Then, […]

I get stressed…. I don’t know if you can relate. There’s so much I want to do perfectly, so much I want to accomplish. Life’s scary sometimes. I get stressed. Do you get stressed? I get stressed. A couple days ago, my stress got the best of me and I found myself out of breath […]

Today was beautiful. Today was inspiring. The air felt full of creative vapor. I took a deep breath and gave it my all. Here’s a sneak peek from today’s engagement shoot with Chris and Chelsea…. more to come….

Today I’d like to share something I wrote in May of 2008. It’s something I wrote at the start of a project I was working on in the wake of my adventures in YWAM…. a book of compiled pictures, thoughts, and prayers. The project is still in JUST the starting phase because I set it […]

I never turn down an opportunity to shoot with my friend Jack. He’s awesome. The brides and grooms he gets to shoot are SO sweet… it’s always a pleasure to hang out and shoot. This particular wedding took place in the beginning of December 2009… when the weather was still wintery. (I figure I should […]
