Thanks for taking the time to check out my blog! This is where I share my recent work and a peek into our lives.

I am not accepting clients at the present time, but hope to be getting my photography business into full swing in the fall of 2012 when my youngest starts kindergarten.

A little about me – I have loved photography ever since my parents gave me my first camera (a Kodak Instamatic) when I was a child. I snapped pictures of everything and saved my allowance to buy film and flash cubes. Wow, remember those?! I continued to study photography through college and marriage, even learning how to develop and print my own b&w photographs in a bathroom/darkroom,but it was with the birth of my first child that I realized how important photography truly is.

As a mother of two children, I know all too well how quickly childhood passes. Tiny, cuddly newborns become curious crawlers, and before you know it they are taking those first wobbly steps. As parents, we want to document each stage before it melts into the next. Photographs help us freeze those moments in time so that we never truly lose them.
