I am a huge fan of podcasts these days, which is why I’m talking about my top 5 favorite podcasts today. I seriously cannot live without them. I walk around the house listening to podcasts every chance I get. I listen in the car. And I start my day listening to them while I get […]

Hey mama! Do you ever wonder why you can’t get a solid picture on your iPhone? Your subjects turn out blurry when photographing them, and your images are either really dark or really bright, often completely ruining your photo. You think to yourself – WHY is this modern technology not working?! And then you throw […]

Last week our family took a mini “glamping” vacation! We slept in a bed and had a toilet, but we cooked our food over the fire and made our coffee in a french press… so I mean… that’s kind of camping, right? The last time Steven and I went camping we didn’t even use a […]

During one of our yearly trips to Scottsdale, Arizona we scheduled an engagement session with Kelvin and Amanda. That trip occurred during May (2018) which happens to be one of Arizona’s warmer months. We’re talking 100+ degree weather folks.

Oh, how I hear you mama! Finding time for photography is hard. From the moment you wake up in the morning, your days are filled with maintaining a household, and keeping your baby upright and fed. Time for yourself? It’s rare, it’s fleeting, and when you get it, sometimes you just can’t move off the […]

Personal projects in photography are key. They help you to get out of your comfort zone and hone in on your creativity. This year one of my personal projects is to participate in the 365 Project. Well.. kind of! The 365 Project is where you take a picture every day, edit it and then share […]

My absolute favorite type of photography is candid. I think shooting weddings taught me that. It never fails that at the end of a long wedding day, my favorite pictures are the in between moments I captured. I think it’s because of how authentic everything looks. And in a world where there isn’t much authenticity […]

If you want to capture the joy of boyhood, and all of its glory, you need to be ready. You need to have that camera out at all times. Mine sits in the living room or kitchen most days. No matter where it sits, it isn’t far, it’s always charged, and ready to go in […]
