The Selfie Project

The goal was to encourage and be encouraged, and although the night didn’t go exactly as planned, I think the goal was accomplished. 🙂 Big thanks to everyone who attended; it was so heart-warming to see the public come in and admire the faces of many beautiful women. Also, I absolutely love company… I love to host […]

Meeting Cecilia

There’s a sign in Cecilia’s nursery that says, “once you have love you have everything”. Well, I’d like to alter that to “once you have family you have everything”. Pretty much the same thing… right? I’m so blessed to be part of the Elchert family… a family willing to fly their photographer cousin down to […]

I am a Photographer

There’s a tiny smudged handprint on my studio’s glass door. It appeared sometime last Fall. My dad has reminded me (more than once) that it could use a little cleaning, but I can’t bring myself to wipe off that little hand. I see it at least twice a day – when I enter the studio and […]

Katelyn + Adam {engagement}

When I met Katelyn, my first impression was her amazing bubbly personality and her gorgeous eyes. I didn’t meet Adam until the date of their engagement session, but by the way Katelyn spoke of him, I knew he was perfect for her. Like with all of my couples, I asked Katelyn how they met. She […]

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 […]

So Long 2013

My heart belongs to the children who show me their own through my lens… I don’t remember what we giggled about, but I remember the sound of our laughter. I can’t remember the stories that were spoken, but I know we had smiles on our faces. I can’t quite place our silent moments, but I […]

Knock

I have some exciting news… The door pictured below leads to the other half of my studio. The NEW half. I’m expanding. 🙂 I love everything about this old door: from the unfinished trim to the paint-smeared handle, and despite its imperfections, the opportunities that it holds. “Ask and it will be given to you; […]
