I am super excited and have been waiting a long time for this day. Today I am celebrating my 1st year as a Professional Photographer. I was talked into it from many people and I am so thankful I took the leap! At first I was nervous about it but everything has turned out better than I expected.

I had such a wonderful year with my clients. I was just thinking this week of how truly blessed I am to have met such nice, caring and fun people. Everyone has been such a joy to photograph. I couldn't pick better people. What an incredible job watch new Moms go from being pregnant to having their first child. I love doing maternity photos then being blessed to have the pleasure of photographing their newborns. My job is more than a job, it's a gift. To me having the chance to meet new people every week then 3-6 month down the line seeing their children or Grandchildren grow up. Wow it's an amazing opportunity or joyful experience. Work is something that is hard. Photographing people is fun and exciting.

Can't wait till the future to see how much my work improves. I have seen it change this year and it has been kinda a slow process which for a perfectionist like myself it's tough to be patient. I just want to be the best right now. I am learning the beautiful part is the going through the journey not the end goal...

Thank you everyone for being such great clients!!
Super excited for future photos with you, your family and friends!!

I wanted to let my clients and future clients know I will be taking a maternity leave next year 2010. I am just not sure when exactly, maybe 3-4 months. I might have to have another c-section and at the end it's going to probably be a little tough getting in crazy positions to take photos.

Plus I would like to send a little time with my newborn baby. Who I am just dying to see and hold. I am in Due middle of March.
But I can't wait to get back into serving all you again!!! Please email me if you are interested in booking and we can go from there. Thanks for your patience..

I am super excited to finally be added PayPal on my website. In the past clients have asked me if I take my deposits over the net. I didn't have that option and now it's so great to make it easier on you all. The internet is fast and handy but this is wonderful.

1. You can pay your deposit through PayPal.
2. You can pay the rest of your balance the day of your shoot as well. This way you dont have to worry about going to the bank or writing a check.



At your convenience it's just a few click of a button and your done in minutes!!

Angie and I have been talking on Facebook for sometime now. I was really anxious to meet her. She was super sweet woman just as I expected. She brought her 2 daughters, one was a few months old and the other was around 12. Her husband didnt come but maybe next time. I had lots of fun taking photos of her 12 year old daughter photos. She was so photogenic and fun to try different poses with. Now I am anxious to work with more teenagers. I could have taken photos of her for a long time but we were losing the sun too quickly. I asked Angie to step in a couple photos, she didnt want to cause she didn't get ready for the shoot it was suppose to be all about her daughters.
I was so happy she ended up letting me take a couple of her cause she is really pretty inside and out and I think the photos came out great. Angie is someone I could hang out with, she is so nice, cool and easy to talk to. Check out how beautiful her family is.
