Memories last for moments, Photos last forever

Have you ever tried getting pictures of your kids and get stuck with going to a store that uses tacky backgrounds? Come on now, every one knows your child is not really at the beach! Well, I would love to give you a more natural alternative. I am a young professional photorapher. I use only the most natural surroundings, earth and all of it's wonderful elements. I specialize in black and white photography, but also offer indoor and color photography. I love capturing children at their finest. Isn't that how we want to remember their childhood? Sweet, innocent, and lots of fun.

Brookes would call him "BABY"

I absolutly LOVE this little guy. "T" is full of energy and laughter. He would get so excited to have his picture taken that I would get some really funny reactions.

Toothless and Brookes

We really have been blessed these pass couple of days with wonderful fall weather! Today was gorgeous, slight breeze and 72 degrees. Ahhh, what a wonderful day to snap some shots. Brookes has become a huge fan of "How to Train Your Dragon," so Toothless managed to make it in a few shots.

On a BEAUTIFUL fall day

Today was what I like to see in a fall day. A little bit chilly with the sun blazing brightly. Brookes and I took advantage of this weather and did some playing outside. We climbed a tree, up a roof, and jumped from stone steps, etc...

Splishin' and a Splashin'

One thing I love about summer is playing in the water and these little ones did too! It's fun to watch how they react to water splashing on their faces or what it's like to go under for the first time.

Introducing some new faces

Can you tell today was a day to stay indoors? Either that or maybe I'm just really excited to get this blog rolling. These faces here are ones that tug at my heart. A few are family from Michigan and the other is a friend of the families little one. I miss photographing these little ones. I can't wait to have more fun adventures like I did with them.





What a Handsome Man!

This wonderful man is my husband Travis. He is very supportive of my photography and doens't mind being in a photo or two himself. I like to think it's because he wants me to have a bit of variety, but really I think it's because he likes to see a good picture of himself! =)



This was on a trip in West Virgina. Almost all of the men did some
cliff jumping and raised their fists to show just how manly they could be!

The Many Faces of Riley

This is a face I don't get to see often in person and like to capture her with all the different ones that she can make. Riley is a fun loving little girl that never ceases to amaze me. She constantly makes me giggle and I couldn't ask for a greater step-daughter!







A Splash of Color

I didn't want to ware you out with all black and white. I wanted to spruce things up with a little bit of color.

A little bit younger


It's a busy night tonight. Brookes did a soccer demo at Daycare and had lots of fun and I will be scheduling classes for college in a little bit. I wanted to post a few pictures of Brookes when he was a bit younger, to give a taste of something I had done a while ago.

Making grumpy look cute

Hey we are all human right? It would be unfair to think our little ones are going to be happy all the time. Brookes was a very unhappy camper this day. And although he was being a little grumpy butt, I captured a few images that really defined his mood.
