YOUR JOURNEY.SHANNON.

My sister in law, Shannon, is BEAUTIFUL.  I can still remember the first time my brother introduced us to her.  She was so tiny, giggly, and beautiful…and she had big dreams.
It’s been almost 10 years since we’ve had her in our lives and she still has big dreams.  She is raising two of those dreams...

YOUR JOURNEY.KIMM.

I recently traveled to Nashville for a conference on blogging.  Yes, they have those!  It was a blast and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting women who I’ve been connecting with online for the last year.  One special friend, Kimm, asked me if I’d take some profile photos while we were there.  I jumped at the chance....

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting up with an old high school friend of mine in order to photograph her family.  It’s hard to imagine that someone I used to dance with and play with after school is already a mom…after all, I’m still a kid.  Right, RIGHT?!
LeAnn, your girls are GORGEOUS and...

YOUR JOY.DANCE.

This weekend, I continued the family Christmas card shoot bonanza.  I began with a family session at Irvine Park, near the railroad.  My friend Julie hasn’t had a family portrait done and her son is 4 1/2, so she figured it was time.  And Saturday was her birthday, too, so I’m guessing she got what...

YOUR JOURNEY.DIANA.

Oh, I’m sorry, did you see my latest client?  I’m not gonna lie, it’s not difficult to be a photographer when you have a STUNNING subject…and Diana was just that!  A portrait photographer based in Orange County, Diana is someone I met through networking at SMUG events and we clicked (pun intended) over having the...
