A Love Note for Photographers {and all other artists}

I hope you understand your value. And if you don’t quite yet, I hope that you do soon. I hope you create from your heart and that you let your art feed your soul. Never forget when you first fell in love with the golden hour or how it feels to watch a child blossom […]

Enough

As I’m sitting here, curled up in a blanket, editing images while listening/sort of watching The Walking Dead, the thought occurred to me… I don’t blog enough newborn images.

Soul Searching

Today was one of those days. Alright, so it’s 12:51am, so I suppose yesterday was one of those days. You know, the kind of day when you forget to “stop and smell the flowers”. I made a few pretty big mistakes. Not my day. Nope. But you know what? After my classes ended, my errands […]

A Girl's Best Friend…

Some say a girl’s best friend is a diamond… Some may say it’s shopping… Some may say it’s chocolate… Some may say it’s a favorite dress… Some may say it’s the color pink… Some may even say that a girl’s best friend is four packs of Oreos and a gallon of milk… … But… I’m […]
