The number one reason my clients book me (across the board) is for images that are “candid” … “full of emotion” … “real” … “authentic.”  <—- This is what I do. This is what I capture. It is my desire to photograph and capture YOU, authentic, real, full of emotion YOU!  Usually this statement of […]

Feels like I haven’t blogged in years. I disappeared. Sorry. The last few weeks have been insane… ly AWESOME! 6 boudoir sessions, lots of driving, 3 days of filming for a promo video, wedding consultations, planning more travel, tons of editing, and Joe got a new job so our lives are definitely changing. So pumped […]

The Breakout Experience went down in Missoula this last weekend. It was SUCH a blast. I enjoy teaching and helping other photographers SO much!! I can’t even tell you how much. To see them light up with excitement, take TONS of notes, mention how rejuvenated they feel, and their permagrins after the shoot, make it […]

Let me be honest here real quick… I SUCK AT BLOGGING!  F’reals.  What happened to making a change with blogging this year and doing it more often?  I have no idea.  Clearly I need a better blog workflow.  If you have one and you want to share I’d love you and send you jelly beans.  […]

In the words of my dear friend Cassie…. OH MY LANTA!  This last week was crazy nuts in the most bestest ways EVER!  This time every year the WPPI convention happens in Las Vegas and THOUSANDS of photogs attend.  Last year there were 16,000! WHOA!  But I didn’t attend a single WPPI class or even […]

Since family photo mini-sessions are happening this weekend and in December I thought it might be fun to show a family before and after.  This is one of my favorites from last year.  Just a classic, cute, simple family photo 🙂  When I looked up the stats for this photo I was shaking my head […]

Recently I was asked, “Where do you go for most of your photoshoots? I’m tired of going to this park all the time.”  I thought,  ‘this is a good topic to discuss on the blog!’  When a client and I start talking about their session or event I ask generic questions about location.  Such as […]

Yay! I kinda love before & afters.  They are just fun.  I’m currently working on a project to take place in a couple weeks and will have some off-the-chain before and afters so I will most definitely be sharing those!  When I get THE shot I LOVE showing my clients.  This was from my last […]

A few weeks ago I received an email from the “guys” at Showit.  If you’re a photographer and not familiar with Showit go check them out!!! Showit provides me with an awesome website, community and MUCH MUCH more!  So I received this email that says, can you please meet us in Santa Barbara on this […]

So I’m a little behind on blogging.  This last week and a half has been CA-RAY-ZAY!  We did alot of moving, my 3 year old came home from a month long vacation with grandparents, and a cousin gave us a scare like no other.  Aside from all of that the last couple days have been […]
