Senior Photos 003

Graduation season has come to an end. Here is the last lovely young adult that I had the pleasure of taking Senior portraits for. Unfortunately, I missed her graduation due to flooding here (if you’re in this part of the country you know exactly what I’m talking about!) but I believe she has more milestone…

The Longest Ride

Hello old friends!I took a hiatus from writing for a bit because I was on the road and then took an extra week for “me time.” Eight weeks in a van will wear you out! It was a really fun, and totally unexpected adventure though. My husband and I had just gotten back from a…

How You Benefit From Displaying Pictures

This is the first year that neither me nor any of my siblings are in school (excluding college). No more ball games to attend or graduations to get ready for. That’s over and done with and it reminds me of how time flies. Over the last few years, both of my younger siblings graduated and…

St Patrick’s Day – Irish Stew

Don’t you just love holidays? They’re the perfect excuse to get together, eat delicious food and maybe try something new! This year I did a St Patrick’s Day thing with this young couple… Both love to cook so they decided to try a new Irish recipe together for a soup (was going to post a…

Love Never Fails

“Love is patient, love is kind… It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” (1 Corinthians 13:4a, 7, 8a NIV) I recently did an anniversary shoot for a couple who has been married for 60 years! Incredible right?!

Wrapping Up & Starting Fresh

The other day I got the first of a series of 1099 tax forms in the mail and it served as a reminder that it is now the change of the year and time to get all my ducks in a row. If you work as a freelancer, independent contractor or are otherwise self employed,…

Christmas Tips

Christmas is coming up and whether you take holiday pictures or not, there are four general tips that everybody should go by before greeting others (family or not). Be clean. Take a bath/shower, brush your teeth and hair, wear clean socks, and all that jazz. It’s kind of a no brainer y’all. Smile! Happiness is…

Halloween Mini 002

Halloween flew right by this year with more “creatures” out hunting candy. Introducing, for the second session, K Bear! This was his first Halloween and he didn’t seem too sure what to think of it. But I think he warmed up… Doesn’t he just melt your heart?? He sure did mine! I can’t wait to…

7 Day Week

If you read the title, you’re probably looking at it and saying “Duh! All weeks are 7 days.”

Hopeful Prospects

This is a topic you are probably all too aware of in today’s climate: job hunting and the dreaded interview.  Yes, freelancers do this too (and waaay too often). The current film market here is pretty dry. So dry in fact that even seasoned and established professionals are taking micro budget jobs just to get…
