- Often when people reach out to me for event photography, there is an initial question I like to ask:
“What is the most important aspect of this event for you?”
People often pause because events are multi-faceted. There is so much going on and so many components. It’s the people and the place. It’s the food and the f[...]

- It is raining right now as I write this. The sky is gray, and it’s a perfect day to stay inside. Before the rain came down, though, I had the chance to walk the dogs on our road. It’s that time of year when the new growth on trees is a stunning and vibrant green. It is bold and unapologetic in its brightness.

- If these summer temps have you searching your closet, consider treating yourself to a few summer pieces that will keep you cool – and looking fabulous – through these spring and summer months. Not sure where to start? In my experience, it’s best to start with the end in mind. Where are you going? What are you dressing[...]

- Whew! That recent game? Has everybody feeling all the feels, doesn’t it? I love the healthy rivalry, the fun side of trash talking, you know … before it gets too far? I love the couples who are houses divided with wonderful teasing, great laughter, and fierce competition running through their veins.
I attended a[...]

- In the last post, we applauded our graduates for all that they have dealt with in the past 18 months. These are exceptional times, and we see how hard everyone is working to move forward. In the summer months, we take a step back from posting online to spend more time reaching out to our people: family, friends, clien[...]

- To our 2020 and 2021 graduates:
I know this has been a time like no other. I understand these past 15 months have been challenging, and I see how you rose above all of this. Going forward, your tenacity will serve you well. Did you know that ‘to commence’ means to begin again? After weathering a global pandemic, [...]

- These extraordinary times have proven that we can gather together, but we must do it safely.
Earlier in the summer (you know, way back in June), I had the pleasure of photographing the outdoor RCIA ceremony at the Newman Center.
What is RCIA?
RCIA stands for Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and was a pro[...]

- This week I would normally be surrounded by children making their First Communion. I look forward to photographing this event each year because the Communicants are filled with so much enthusiasm. It’s exciting for them, as well as for their friends and family. It’s also a sweet and endearing time to capture everyon[...]

- Well, it's certain...
We are living through interesting times. When I look at the blog post I wrote a couple of weeks back at the start of the month, I think about how much has changed in our world since then.
First and foremost, I hope you are all well. I believe we will get through this health crisis, and we wi[...]

- When this gentleman opened the door, I knew he was ready for our portrait session.
What’s not to love here? His sweet smile had me at “Hello.” He was dressed in his best sport coat, he later told me. {swoon}
Often when I talk with my clients about preparing for their portrait session, the number one question [...]

- It was Imogen Cunningham who once said,
“The thing that’s fascinating
about portraiture
is that nobody is alike.”
When I first stumbled across these words while working on another project, I thought nothing of them. Then, as time went on, her words had a way of sticking with me. They came to mind every[...]

- Sunday is definitely a funday, and I hope you are out enjoying the sunshine, spending time with a good book, catching up with a good friend, or simply chillaxing and living your very best life. I know that the days can often feel like it’s its own merry-go-round, and I remind myself to build in some breaks.
