You know, I can’t keep a secret. Not very well anyway and for the last couple of weeks I’ve been bursting at the seams to share some pretty big news with you. One of my goals when I first started this business was to someday have my own studio space. Now, that [...]

If it does, please don’t tell me because seriously I don’t think my heart could take it. I had a session this morning with the sweetest little boy you’ve ever seen. Had I known what was in store for me at this shoot today, I would have better prepared myself! It made me feel just [...]

For a while now, a wanderlust has settled over me and it made me want to live somewhere other than the South. I’d love to pack up my kids and move to Europe or New Zealand. That would be ideal! But, with my husband’s job, it’s much more likely that we would move somewhere stateside [...]

Yesterday’s announcement from Apple regarding the iPad prompted me to write this post today. You see, my husband has long been into all the latest gadgets. In fact, he spends some of his time inventing some, although they never see the light of day. I won’t be at all surprised if we [...]
Oh boy. When I prepared for my session on Monday, there was nothing I could have done to prevent me from being completely bowled over by this little boy. A 10 months old he is already a heartbreaker and his parents are going to have their hands full, let me tell you! The moment I [...]
It has been so long since I had a baby to photograph and man, am I itching to do just that!!! This year, a new baby is joining our family, courtesy of my sister and her husband, but he’s not going to be here until March! So, in order for to me to get my [...]

Yes, you certainly can. And at Snapfish, Shutterfly, Target, Walgreens, etc, too. This is a comment that comes up a lot when people begin discussing custom photography because people see prices like $30 for a 5×7 and can’t understand why it would be that price when it’s so much less expensive at the drugstore. I’m [...]
This weekend, I had a very challenging shoot. “Challenging in what way?”, you might be asking. Well, one of my local photographer friends had asked me if we could swap family sessions and I agreed. The thing is, whenever I shoot another photographer, it’s nerve-wracking. More nerve-wracking for me than shooting a wedding could ever [...]

Back in October, my family and my sister’s family traveled up the road a bit to our lovely NC mountains and did some apple picking. I must confess, the apple picking place was not what I thought it would be. I had visions of a glorious orchard, branches swollen with apples just waiting [...]
