Lucky Ducky

What happens when a wild duck decides to join your family session? Why you let him of course! You never know what fun creatures you will find on an outdoor session. Lizards? Yep! Deer? Double yep! Its always a bit of nature discovery. This little Mallard was a first for me though.

Well, now that you’ve met the duck, meet the rest of this cool family. Katie is a lucky ducky herself. She has these 3 handsome fellas that keep her on her toes. Like any woman who has to contend with a house full of boys she is fierce and tough and strong. They are great qualities to have, especially when you run your own business as well. Katie is an amazing hairdresser.

So… go out with your family, have and adventure and give me a call to tag along and capture it for you. And… if you need a recommendation for a great hairdresser… I can definitely refer you. Till next time

3 Months

Babies are always so special. Twins are twice the fun… or twice the trouble. I would know. I am myself one half of a boy and girl twin set. These two cuties, Ky and Kennedy, are in fact my niece and nephew. These two in fact belong to my twin! ( Twins run  in the family, we have 2 more sets of boy/girl twin cousins also.) So, enjoy these cute faces, I know I do!

The Writer

I had a really exciting opportunity to photograph Catherine, who wrote a really cool book and is now looking to be published. In her own words she says :

Community 92 is a work of apocalyptic speculative fiction. It takes place in world that “could be,” on a day like tomorrow. Speculative fiction is a wide genre that has long been dominated by male-focused storytelling. However, apocalypse-themed speculative fiction for women is growing with works like Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven, Edan Lepucki’s California, and Claire Vaye Watkin’s Gold Fame Citrus. In addition, Jean Hegland’s 1998 apocalypse-themed novel Into the Forest was recently developed into a movie (yay!) starring Ellen Page and Evan Rachel Wood.

Consumers are excited about woman-driven speculative fiction, and Community 92 is a solid entry into this growing market. Community 92 sets itself apart from other works by focusing on motherhood and community, as well as by exploring the device of war as the apocalyptic event as opposed to natural disasters or epidemics. In addition,Community 92 starts at the beginning of the apocalyptic events, instead of years later, and has a tone of hope and resilience instead of fear and loneliness.

Spring Fling

Do you know what I love about the spring? Everything! The colors, the freshness, brand new Easter clothes! Who says family pictures are only for the fall! Just take a look at these and you will want spring family photos too.  I promise, go ahead and book way ahead of fall. You won’t regret it.

Do you know what else I love? This family. Mom-Leah, is one of those amazing people who greets you like a true friend…every time! Even better, she really is that kind, sweet, warm thoughtful, bright bit of sunshine that you see right here.

Party of 4 (almost)

I love when I get to document important moments in a families life. I met Jenn, several years ago through my work as an RN. When she was pregnant with their first baby, Miss C, I causally asked if she was considering having any maternity photos done. She was, and asked if I knew anyone. LOL I did. I was thrilled when she decided to hire me. Since then we have captured her family as it has grown. I hope to be able to share in many more memories to come.
