Zack | A Nashville Creative Shoot
Why I Do This
At my most recent wedding, someone said to me, "you're in a great field because you are constantly surrounded by happy people." Oh how true that is. Love love this job and all the happiness I get to share with people.
No Pressure | A Grandin Village Creative Shoot
Cat is my go-to person when I have an idea for a particular shot or location I want to try out. Last week, I was laying in bed thinking about how I was in the mood to take pictures. Sometimes I get in this mood. And it's not fun when it's past midnight so there's [...]
A Birthday for Nick, A Reflection for Me
I know I'm about a month late, but happy first birthday to the little man who started it all!! In just one year, I grew as a photographer, an artist, and even a business-woman. In one year, I bought two new lenses and upgraded from my trusty little Rebel to a Mark II. I [...]

Last January, I met the Blanding twins for the first time - at the top of McAfee's Knob, where they were doing a photoshoot with a green couch they had carried all the way up the mountain. This year, we decided to reunite with each other and the green couch, but instead of McAfee's, we [...]
Balloons and Bright Colors | A Virginia Creative Shoot
Over Thanksgiving break, I got this image in my head that I just had to try (no idea where it came from). Bright colors. Fun outfits. Balloons. An alleyway. So I gathered up two of my favorite girls to work with and we headed downtown for a few hours of creative shooting. We climbed to [...]
