Four words that get my heart racing. They are dangerous words. Words with a lot of power. But I can’t think of four words that I would want to hear more.  Yep.  These are my favorite four.

“We totally trust you!”

I gripped the phone in my hand a little tighter so I wouldn’t drop it.  I was giddy, my heart was racing and my head began to flood with ideas.  Then Kendra mentioned that she loves spring colors.  And Jerry mentioned that they like nature, but are not beach people.  My palms started to sweat.  I stuttered.  I am pretty sure that on the other end of the phone they thought I was completely crazy as my excitement and creativity started to overcome any sense of normalcy and composure.

These four words simply put, are a dream come true for me.  I LOVE photography.  I LOVE capturing what is your family; your joy, your smiles, your interaction, and what you all are about.  I LOVE having permission to have open ended creativity, getting a vision and bringing it to fruition.  When I got off the phone with Kendra and Jerry, I had a vision of  a green field, a tea party, and a family full of smiles.  Now I just had to go out and find the perfect field.

Kendra, Jerry and Karis, thank you!  You not only gave me the pleasure of hearing those words I love, you truly trusted me and were amazing clients!  You hiked through the dew kissed grass and graciously tried to hide your goosebumps, without one complaint of the early morning hour or the lack of sun.  I was almost completely silent the entire photo shoot (and felt awful that I was so quiet!) and you were so great you just went along with the flow. (I get quiet when I am in my creative zone…”focused” I like to call it.  Strange I know.)

I can’t wait to share these with you….and hope you love them!

How cool is this grass and these beautiful trees?  It was the PERFECT little field, and not more than 100 feet away was a parking lot filled to the brim with cars and runners and sports teams.
Karis was a little shy until I asked her to wave.  Then she would LIGHT UP.  It was ADORABLE!

I tell all my clients “come ready to play” and they did!  Without hesitation they jumped in and had a tea party, rolled on the ground, and laughed with such joy that  they could warm the heart of a iron statue.

I love this family! Can’t you just feel their joy?
Kendra = one gorgeous mama.  I think she looks amazing here.


Sitting “like a lady”.  LOVE.

I don’t know why, but kids with lollipops kills me.  When I saw this bright pink one at the store, I had to bring it.

Thank you guys!
