She’s so lucky to have a older brother! If my friends had older brothers, I’d watch their relationships and think, “I wish I had an older brother!” How cool would it be to have a big brother to teach you the ropes of a new school or for him to drive you home from high...

& the leaves fall…
Ryan and I first met during during his mom & Kyle’s engagement session. He creeped through the tall grass, imitating a lion. He peeked around Kyle’s shoulder at me. He had me with his dimples…but he wasn’t so sure about me. Then he was the ring-bearer at their wedding. I watched as he dragged his...
Fall Mini Sessions!
Oh my, oh my! I’m smiling over Fall! Oh it all started with Pumpkin Spice Lattes. You know, back when it was still 80 degrees, but it was the first day of the season the PSL was released…so you sweated over the hot steaming cup anyways! Tell me I’m not the only one who fell...

(I had no idea kids were such frosting...

fotoNovella: hot dogs with the Sperl family.
I don’t want to just take beautiful pictures. I want to take pictures that scream the personality of the beautiful people in my life. I don’t want to wake up some day and realize that I’m just ‘making’ pictures or ‘creating’ pictures. I want to capture what’s already there: the personality that’s scream’n to be...
