Glad you're here!

You know what I get sucked in to? The Target dollar spot area. You know the one. Sometimes the vortex sucks me in immediately, other times I’m walking by pretty resolute in my mission to avoid it and then IS THAT A WATERMELON PENCIL POUCH? THAT’S ADORABLE! Do we need it? Who cares!? It has […]

Do you want to know something crazy? I did this shoot a little over 8 months ago. That’s not the crazy part. It’s one of my favorite shoots, ever. A mom and her boys at home on an ordinary day, doing ordinary things. As I was looking at photos I just took of these two […]

Have you ever hired a professional photographer? Yes? Then you know that nagging question that looms as you approach your session date: Did I pick the right location? Location isn’t EVERYTHING but it’s definitely important. It becomes particularly important if you have a feeling the location you picked doesn’t suit you or what you’re really wanting […]

I have to tell you – photographing a family of six is usually not without its challenges. Usually there’s at least one meltdown at some point in the session by at least one of the kids. I come prepared: jokes, silly faces, even the occasional bribe. I’m not scared. You just have to keep rolling and […]

If you’re the lucky parent of a two year old, then this party might resonate with you. A goodbye, a farewell, an ADI-FREAKIN-OS to terrible twos. A Very. Happy. GOODBYE. Don’t get me wrong – we are blessed and we know it, but we also know that we survived this past year with our sanity […]

Okay guys. I mentioned on Facebook that I had studio news and it was big, and by that I meant literally big! As in nearly 4 times bigger than my teensy little Stockyards studio. That’s right: WE’VE MOVED! I had my first shoot in the new studio today – a week earlier than expected but what […]

This was one of the most relaxed, simple, sweetest newborn shoots I’ve ever done. And has become one of my favorites, too. Stephanie and her husband relocated here and just welcomed their sweet baby girl home after a little stay in the NICU. We had booked their session for after her due date but bumped it […]

Who said family photos have to be boring? I remember when I got started with photography. It was a hobby and I was eager to practice, practice, practice so one day I could turn this hobby into a living. And I would shoot just about anything to get that practice in. You start to learn […]

What do ya do when it’s 9000 degrees outside, your babe is stir crazy, and there’s no swimming pool in sight? Bath tub fun! I LOVED having colored bath water when I was little. And yesterday my little stinker was tired (but wouldn’t sleep of course), missing her daddy who had been gone all week, […]

This was….gosh. I can’t even put it into words. A dream come true? Pretty much! Meet the Wills Family. They’re who I want to be when I grow up. Except that I’m already grown up. But still, #goals. Their style is droolworthy. Their house is amazing. And they are serious DIY’ers which makes them even […]
