on this day, 20 years ago, i had a rude interruption to my perfect-only-child life. a little ball of a disgruntled baby was now a part of the family. whoa whoa whoa! who gave her permission to intrude on my life? who said i wanted to share? well, like it or not, i got a [...]
living “the dream” has always been a goal of mine. no, my dream is not to be a billionaire, although it would be nice. i don’t want to be the most powerful person in the world or even a famous celebrity. my goal is this: happiness. what i have to keep reminding myself of lately [...]

i know i’m not the only one obsessed with pinterest. it’s just so fun. i love all of the cool ideas and inspiration i can gather from one sight! when i get an idea for a shoot, i just browse around for inspiration. when i want a fun craft to do with the kids at [...]
i had been looking forward to this beach trip for months. this is no exaggeration. it was going to be amazing! reuniting with family, from across the country, that we haven’t seen in years was something i longed for the most! of course, that work week went particularly slow haha, but friday eventually came and [...]

finally. i made it to the weekend. i don’t know why, but the kids were horribly awful today. okay okay. not my class (they’re perfect, hehe, just kidding). they were pretty well-behaved, though, and i had fun. it was when we combined at the end of the day. whew! some of those kids drove me [...]
branding. it defines what you are in the world of photography. not only does it describe what you are, but what you represent. it describes the type of clients you have, the kind of person you are, the style of shoots you do. more or less it’s a label. one that you’re stuck with, whether [...]
i spent this past weekend in bedford. it’s a quaint area out in the country and completely different from what i’m used to. i LOVE it! it’s a nice change of pace and definitely welcomed. i don’t get to go out and visit justin’s hometown a lot, but when i do, i always enjoy myself. [...]
meet ron and hermione robbie and emily! the best word to describe these two is: ADORABLE! when i first saw that these two were engaged, i was so excited! they have been dating since they’re freshman year at longwood university. they met at a friend’s birthday party and have been important to each other since. they [...]
