One of the great pleasures of my job is watching families grow & change. I am thrilled when a client calls to tell me they are expecting a child! I often squeal with joy when I get a phone call of this nature. I love hearing happy news & I am honored that my clients think to keep me informed...

Favorite Wedding Moments 2008

Favorite Wedding Moments 2008
One of the first things I learned about shooting weddings is that they are unpredictable.  Yes, we plan them for years… putting everything into place, hand picking the best vendors, talking about colors, etc.  Everything is planned.  But when the day gets here, anything can happen.  Honestly...

Organic Gardening | Go Green(er)
We all know that chemicals are not great for the environment. It’s ironic that so many products made for growing plants and vegetables (which is good for the environment) can contain so many additives are bad for the environment.  Adrienne and Scott picked up a book called “Giant Book...
