Photographer, Educator, Student, Mother & Wife Obsessed with sharing moments through pictures & words
We signed Hope up to play softball for the first time this spring. She played t-ball when she was four but didn’t seem as excited about team sports as she was about swimming and gymnastics so we gave it a break for a few years. This past fall Jason began umpiring little league so she...
At some point in the midst of the barrage of newborn photo sessions I did this past November I was contacted by Matt who was interested in planning a maternity photo session with his wife. Though I prefer to specialize in newborn photography I’m beginning to receive more inquiries about maternity photos as well. This...

When we decided to take the trip to Bok Tower I informed a few others I’ve done photography for before of our trip and was glad to see that Joyia and Addison were able to meet up with us for a few photos. I just saw Addison last month, but it’s amazing how quickly babies...

We took a little afternoon trip to Bok Tower this weekend. It’s only our second time visiting, but it still remains one of our favorite places in central Florida to visit. It’s not just an amazing place to visit but it’s a...

March 5, 2010 - 10:11 am - Hope, I totally sympathize with you! I remember vividly being 9 years old, and the Dr. telling me I had to have some blood work. Well, I ran clear out of the doctors office! You're much braver that I was, I'm glad you survived. ;)
