Whatever you call them, they are something you should know if you want to get it right. Photography is one of those things. Photography has rules and secrets […]

Here we are again! It’s my favorite time of year. The transition from summer to fall is the best, weather wise. Where summer can be too hot for me and fall can be too cool, the transition is perfect. Temperatures in the low to mid eighties are glorious! Not only do I enjoy the weather, […]

First off, I hope you all had a fabulous Labor Day. I know I did. I wish I could say that I relaxed all day but that is not the case. Saturday I had a client, which is what this post is about and after that, I went to my best friend’s birthday cookout. One […]

As I have stated before, somewhere, even though I specialize in children’s portraits, I am a portrait photographer at my core. I love photographing people.

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful family. Not only are they beautiful but they are friends of my family. Years ago before my husband and I had our son, my husband decided to volunteer for Big Brothers, Big Sisters. I guess it was like a trial run to see what it would […]

Ok, the saga continues. If you’re new around here and want to get caught up, here are the previous posts: Part I and Part II. Now that the housekeeping is done, I will continue with the story. Yes, I had a miscarriage and didn’t tell anyone in my family. Why? I really didn’t want them […]

Before I start with part I, there may be some new readers who may want to catch up. If so, here is the link to the previous blog so that you don’t have to go looking for it. Continuing on, now that the doctor told me officially that I was pregnant, it was time to […]

On Facebook and Instagram, I follow several doulas and know several in real life. I also know many mothers.
