Patriotic tunes.  American flags.  Snow cones.  Trains.  Old men dressed up having mock gun fights.  Writing thank you cards to our soldiers.  Watermelon. Sunshine. Lots of American flags, laughter, sticky hands, and fun.

What more could we ask for?  I sure do love being an American.

Happy 4th of July!

To all the dad’s out there…there are never enough thanks for all you do.

Happy Father’s Day!

“A possibility was born the day you were born and it will live as long as you live.” -Marcus Solero

When I get a chance to photograph a newborn, my soul is refreshed.

Sure, if I were to photograph your newborn I would warn you that there is many hours involved with sweat, projectile pee and poop, baby tears, nursing, and a lot of patience.  And that  is all true, but there is also so much love and beauty and hope…. and so much possibility…that cannot be replicated by anything else in the world.

They are just so perfect.

So fresh from God.

Such a gift.

And if you have read my blog in the past you know how much I adore this family, so this is where my heart swelled up….

Elliot will fit in just scrumptiously with his family;  he is already so photogenic and was easily the most easy-going  2 week old I have ever met.

I was really excited to sneak in some quality time with little Elliot, just me and he.  He was quite the little model; peaceful, perfectly sleepy, and willing to go into anything I put him in.  This next image is of Elliot with a antique fire extinguisher that will be in his room.  Isn’t it the coolest room decor you have ever seen?

Here is my attempt at capturing a mother’s love….a beautiful beautiful thing.

Again R family, all I can say is thank you. You are simply amazing in every way.

I am kind of an “all or nothing” kind of girl.  I am either in over-drive or OFF.  That is just how I fly.  No middle ground for me.

My first business cards were the “I am hoping this business takes off but I am scared so I don’t want to spend any money”  business cards.  Now, three years later, with a whole lot of God and a lot of love from people like you, business is happening. A complete DREAM COME TRUE.  And now that we are rocking and rolling it means it is time to upgrade to the “I am actually a real photographer and I this really is a business” business cards.

WOOHOO!

But as you can imagine that when I set out to get new business cards, it was a journey to say the least.  They had to be “ALL”.  No middle ground for me.

Now here we are, nearly a year after I set out to get them,  I found a company who will make every card in my stack different, and to me that is “ALL” because that means they are ALL YOU!

Drum roll please……..
