a few recent faves!

hello friends! i just wanted to drop a few recent favorites on the blog for you to see. i can’t tell you how happy my heart is shooting family and children portraits. children portraiture is so vastly different from wedding photography that shooting both keeps things fresh. and definitely keeps me on my toes!

what i would call “natural” family moments :)
i like to fast forward 20 years and think of how special these family images will be. priceless!

    I love family shots that involve the parents having a moment while the children interact with the camera. The chair is fabulous!

    Great work, I always love how you “get” your clients. :) Did you notice they torn down some of those walls on 7th? So sad, RIP cool walls.

europe images!!!!

hello friends! i wanted to keep my bloggin’ streak going so i decided to share some personal images from our trip to europe for korrie and landon’s beautiful wedding! enjoy these few for now but trust me there are many many more to come! i think the number is around 500 images left to share to be exact :)


this image above was taken in france!

this bw striped church makes me want to jump up and down with excitement…where else can you find a striped church but in italy??? this church has inspired me with my interior decorating ;) i think i’ll make get a big canvas print made of it to go in our living room.


this lantern image has a funny story. jim and i went to this really really old pub in barcelona and above a table filled with people hung this lantern. i, looking like a dork walked right up to the table to photograph it. i knew if i didn’t i would regret it. i’m glad i did!

this was also taken in barcelona (right outside the old pub in fact) i just love the way the light glows around the scooter below.

if you see any images here you would like for a personal artist print please contact me! i can’t think of anything better then sharing my art with you all :)

i’m off to celebrate mine and jim’s 5 yr wedding anniversary! it’s really feb 1 but unfortunately i was at home sick in bed…so today the celebration begins woo hooo! i love you my sweet boy!

i heart fabrics

if i were a dining room chair…i think i would want to be this chair.

over the past couple of years i’ve developed this passion for interior decorating that makes me all giggly and excited inside. we just bought our first home last year and i vowed to have no white walls in this house (you see…because we rented for so many years.) i’ve spent hours and hours searching for the perfect fabric to dress my antique furniture. fine fabrics make my heart sing! and my husband crabby. ;) he just doesn’t understand why we can’t cover the dang things in a sheet (ha!) but he always loves the pieces once i’m done. i promise to post some of my recent projects soon, but in the mean time here are some photos i’ve found that inspire me! i wish i knew where i got these from…shame on me! i’ll remember for next time (they are all from magazines and decorating blogs)

this room is so very sophisticated. i’m in love with the curtains!!!


there’s something so classic about b&w…i have two chairs covered in a fabulous b&w velvet stripe. simply divine :)
this chandelier is one i’m considering hanging in our dining room…i love it’s whimsical feel

check out this decorating blog…it’s one of my favs!

    Love that chandelier!

    I’m TOTALLY with you on eliminating the white walls in our house. Slowly, they are getting their Requiem.
