It’s Thursday and both my kids are at school. The house is quiet, and I thought I’d share a post that’s been on my mind. I didn’t grow up dreaming about being a mom, it was definitely not a natural thing for me. I struggled with a lack of excitement during my pregnancies, and plenty...
Last November, I happened to see an Instagram post about a reggae festival in Long Beach, CA called One Love. The lineup of bands for the Saturday show was too good to be true, I knew my husband would love to go. He makes me listen to reggae music DAY IN and DAY OUT! (Insert...
My husband Shaun and I haven’t had a real vacation in a long time, it’s probably been over 5 years now. When he asked me last year if I’d be interested in a reggae show at Red Rocks in Colorado this spring, I said YES and started dreaming about all the fabulous photos I could...

Officially wrapping up 2025! 🎉
Going back through my 2025 sessions, I am reminded of all the fun times I had with my amazing clients! Forgive me for not doing an official recap of all of those great sessions. This winter has been a difficult one, and I am just now getting back into business mode. Looking forward to sharing some sessions that I’ve had recently, and my books for spring and summer are now open! PS: note to self to take more videos when it’s cold out 🤣

Engagement session in the 🌨️
This couple had their engagement session planned for last Saturday, and it turned out to be the coldest day. As soon as we arrived the blowing snow started, but we managed to get these beautiful images anyway! I love the photos so much, congrats to the couple! ❤️
