Adventures in Lost River, WV
I don't personal blog near enough and I just couldn't resist telling the story about my weekend in West Virginia. First you have to know this is all iphone photography! I didn't take my camera because, honestly it feels too much like work...but you still can't take the photographer out of the

How I pull it together for a family photo session
Family photos are just as important to me as they are to you! I have to walk the walk once a year the same as all my clients and gather up the courage to get in front of the camera. You might be surprised to hear this, but I hire a photographer for my own family. I mean, try being a hairdresser

My joy
I came across this photo from a wedding this past summer, and I can't help but be drawn to something in this photo....Me....smiling. That is pure joy right there...me looking through my lens at something beautiful. Its not about the perfectly styled outfit or the perfect scenery or the perfect prop
Ariel & Matthew | Bozeman, Montana
Of course I am slightly biased, but I have to say my cousin is one of the most beautiful brides ever. And the wedding at Le Petit Chateau in Bozeman, Montana, I could just go on and on about all of the simple and beautiful perfection. This trip was once in a life time for me and the wedding was
