Stunning attention to detail, perfect gardens, and a fountain!  Everything was absolute perfection at Alex + Brian’s wedding day.  Alex took special care to make sure that there was time to relax and enjoy the sweet moments of the day.  When it came time for her to put on her wedding dress, it was just […]

We arrived in Boston and spent the 4th of July roaming the city and trying to hold on to the last bit of normalcy for awhile.  Zane wasn’t having the best time.  His whole schedule has been thrown off, he had to take two plane rides (the first since leaving Bulgaria, which can bring up […]

Just a heads up– if you’re a really squirmy type and can’t handle anything medical, then you’ll want to skip this.  It’s all pretty mild stuff, but it shows a feeding tube and some weird medical things. No blood, and nothing gory, though. Four and a half months ago we arrived at Zane’s orphanage on a cold day, […]

I feel like I’m supposed to say that I started doing photography because of these munchkins… because I wanted more time with them and away from the corporate world. But the truth is, they weren’t even on my radar 7 years ago when I bought my first DSLR. My niece, Kyah, has passed away the […]

I don’t know what I was doing four year ago today… the day you were born. I don’t know if there’s a woman… a family… on the other side of the world mourning you today. There’s a lot I don’t know.   As I looked through pictures to share, I cried.  I’ve missed a lot […]

Alli’s family took us in as their own family when we moved here 6 years ago– when she was still in high school!  We’ve celebrated many holidays with them, and they are always serving other people and families.  Alli has that same generous spirit about her, and as I got to know this spunky, fun-spirited […]

I’m a big fan of extended family sessions, and I get to do them several times a year, which thrills me!  Let’s face it– getting everyone dressed and in the same location for photos is basically a miracle.  And for this family, an ocean was crossed in order to make this happen! I’ve known Alicia (in […]

Our son, Zane, has a feeding tube.  I’ve never been shy about feeding him wherever we are. I liken it to breastfeeding or bottle feeding a baby.  It’s how my kid eats, and it’s part of life.  Is it a little uncomfortable?  Sometimes!  But our lives are uncomfortable, and it’s just our new normal. In restaurants, […]

“A wedding at the zoo?!?!” Sarah + Chris heard that a lot as they were planning, but they knew what they were doing– and it was incredible!  They said ‘I do’ in the middle of a rose garden in full bloom, then danced the night away under twinkling lights in the pavilion in the center […]

Two years ago Allison Maxwell suggested a little podcast to me.  You might have heard of it… Serial.  It sounded fascinating, but… I had no idea how to listen to a podcast!  I’m not even kidding! So I called my tech guy (okay, my husband Josh) and asked him how I go about listening to a […]
