Sweet, you found me! Hope you enjoy the world from behind my lens, from my vantage point.

Photography, for me, is a means to unleash my artistic side, an outlet for my perfectionism and an expression of my sentimental nature.  I believe we all have a creative side.  I am happy to have discovered mine in photography. I love taking pictures and I love meeting new friends, a perfect combination.  

Although I adore photography, my family still comes first so I take a limited number of sessions. Please schedule with me in advance to secure your spot and my sanity.

Thank you for all of your love and encouragement! 

Sidenote: I am now booked until May and even though I love capturing the bride and groom on their wedding day, for personal reasons I am currently not booking weddings.

Chuggin’ Along.

I have slowed things down a tad, maybe you’ve noticed.  Reality hit me when I looked at my little boy and thought huh, when did his hair get so long? Didn’t we just cut his hair? I guess that was a month ago, dang. And then soon after looked at my daughter and realized how big she is getting.  I feel like I have been in some funky time warp.  I needed to tune back into my life and capture balance once again (a continual struggle for me).  So here I am photographing clients once a week which has been wonderful.  I have the best of both worlds.
Not to mention the best clients!  This beautiful family is so creative, daring and kind.  I had the pleasure of photographing them in September.  It’s always a treat to meet up with you three! Here’s your sneak peek, thank you!bap_blogk111bap_blogk2bap_blogk8bap_blogk3Emery is such a cute little girl!bap_blogk9bap_blogk10How cute is this, thanks to Kellie and her darling props! bap_blogk121xo.

Best friends, we are.

I recently invested in some lighting equipment and wanted to give it a try.  And, who better to practice on than this little guy?  At this point I still prefer natural light but as I continue to practice, I continue to fall in love.  bap_blogn2What was so funny you ask? He is obsessed with Star Wars. So, I simply lowered my tone and in a throaty, gargling voice rearranged the clauses in my sentences, just like Yoda himself. “So cute, you are” and “best friends, we are, mmm..”. This really cracked him up.bap_blogn1 I have a really neat shoot coming up shortly! I can’t wait to share! xoxo.

I Heart Faces Challenge ♥

If you haven’t heard of this website, you ought to check it out (just click on the icon below). It’s a great learning and sharing tool for photographers, amateur and professional alike. This week the theme is “best faces” and it’s their one year anniversary so what better time to enter? They are asking for images that were taken within December and January so I thought this picture of Christine would be perfect!  It exemplifies pure happiness and excitement. I love it!
