Sometimes, when you’re editing a session, you don’t even realize that you’ve been smiling the entire time!  It’s not until your face hurts and a family member walks in on you and asks why you’re laughing at your computer screen, that you finally figure it out.  And when it happens, you know there’s a story […]

For me, it’s all about the small things in life… It’s about coffee first thing in the morning.  It’s about the way the light streams through our window in the evening.  It’s sitting on the couch laughing with my husband and reading bedtime stories with my kids.  It’s the crickets that I hear at night […]

But some […]

For the record, if I ever send you an email that asks “how adventurous are you?”…then you should officially consider yourself warned!!! Barb and Jesse were looking for something specific for their engagement.  Something rustic…something deep in the woods…something uniquely them.  So, given how gorgeous our new neighborhood is…I thought I’d ask if “adventurous” was […]
