Welcome to my blog
So this is a place I will probably rant and rave, wear my heart on my sleeve, gush on my family, and most importantly share my art...the photo stories of wonderful couples and people I cross paths with. Don't be afraid to bookmark it, or leave a comment. I love hearing from everyone and anyone. Check back frequently...I will try to keep you updated.

I have decided to include more posts about what goes thru my mind and my thoughts etc I promise they won't go political, but spiritual is a promise I cannot make. I know this won't interest most...but they will scroll past anyway. I have really been thinking about relationships and how they can be so much richer if we just know more about each other...so here goes.
Emily and I were talking this morning about being a Christian /cussing/ and the wall that so many Christians put between themselves and the world by using words like jeepers, and golly, and gosh darn it, etc. I find myself resorting to cliche' silly phrases because I live with two toddling parrots that say anything and everything that comes out of any mouth they hear. Wesley said "booty call" the other day. I was like WHAT!!! At least he has no idea what that means...thank heavens! But there is a fine line between being vulgar with language and sounding "Magoo", and alienating people by our super safe and silly vocabulary. Does this make sense or sound crazy?? Just something to think about. Where do I fit in. I don't want to throw around "f bombs" just to be down...but sometimes only certain words get the story straight or get your point across- not necessarily "f" but "d" I am quite fond of, unfortunately. hmmm.
So the wedding season picks up again.
There is always a general lag during the summer for me. I enjoy the time off to spend it with the kids and to soak up some sun. This year was especially perfect being so pregnant for the summer.
I've shot two weddings since Abby came into my life and have sessions out the eyeballs until like, new year's day!
I am so blessed and thankful and ready to get creative, dirty and really take things to another level. I want to know my clients better, I want to see thru new eyes...I want to find light and exploit it. A super-human photographer once told me (I am apologizing now...but it just can't be said any better way) "Light is your B!tch." That was an "ah ha" moment for me. He was so right. There are beautiful situations which are created by...beautiful people, beautiful venues, and beautiful lighting. If you get all three then you are golden...but more times than not I have gray, overcast, hazy, or rainy weather and the light that is available is flat and rather boring and well...gray. So flash is my bff and i use it all time. It is a love/ hate relationship which I am constantly trying to perfect..hmmm sounds like marriage. ha! jk.
