The Christmas I received my little point and shoot 35 mm, I was in heaven. It never left my hand; I took pictures of everything and I went through film like you would not believe… Looking back now, you could probably say that I wasted a lot of film. But when I look at those pictures, I see a common theme of a love for people and a desire to capture moments and emotions.
In high school there was a turning point when I knew this wasn’t just an interest, but my passion, when I learned my grandfather also shared my love, and I had the chance to develop negatives of my mom as a newborn. Being able to see what my grandfather portrayed showed me how powerful an image can be as fleeting moments are captured through a photograph.
The power of an image is it’s ability to communicate silently.
My love for people led me to a degree in psychology and a deep desire to serve others: in overseas missions, in helping a bride on her special day and making a mother-to-be feel stunning with the life growing inside her. Photography allows me the privilege to meet wonderful people and communicate more than just memories; but to share the story behind the emotions.
I had the pleasure of photographing LeAnne, Joel and their gorgeous daughters Kylene & Bri. We had an awesome afternoon taking photos of their beautiful family! They seriously make my job so easy and I love how they turned out!
This family is very dear to my heart. I met Lori several years ago when a mutual friend mentioned, “oh, I know another photographer you should meet!” and our paths happened to cross a few months later. Lori’s become a friend, as well as, our own family photographer. She has photographed our maternity and newborn […]
Remember cute little Colton? He’s grown up so much this past year, is almost two years old, and now is also a big brother! Baby Brooklyn joined their family just a few months ago and it was so much fun meeting her and seeing the family again. We had so much fun roaming around Meadowlark […]
These kids just make my job look like a piece of cake! I always love our sessions with the Stewart family and I can’t believe how much Catalina and Branden have grown. They are incredibly photogenic and were just so much fun!
Brandy and Charles have a lot to celebrate. Eleven years married… They met in the Army when Charles walked in late to a meeting and Brandy remembers that “the room stood still.” He definitely caught her attention! After a few months of working together and slowly becoming friends, Brandy was diagnosed with cancer. Being away […]
