I've decided it's really important for me to talk more about connection with you guys. If you're anything like me, you're struggling every day finding calm during life with kids. Trying to get them out the door on time in the morning without rushing, encouraging them to relax in the evening for stories, hugs and…
Why I Am Passionate About Photography
If you asked, I’m sure every photographer will tell you that they’re passionate about photography.

Being a big brother or sister isn’t just about age or doing things in a certain order or at certain times. Being a sibling is bigger than numbers and bigger than dates. It's a bond that starts from the very first breath. It is seeing who can run faster, jump higher, talk louder. It is making one another laugh so hard…

And the most amazing thing that we get to fill our walls with are images captured when we’ve spent time with the ones we love the most…
Mamas Are The Most Genuine Memory Keepers
I had a conversation this past week with a mother of three about photography. She received a gorgeous new camera for Christmas from her husband (obviously, he's a keeper!) and was worried about learning how to use it.
