My Pride and Joy

You've all heard the phrase : "The cobbler's children go unshod."
The fact that for the past few years I've been taking all these nice photos of kids, but had not many to show of my own children was bothering me.  So, this year, for Mother's Day, I decided to give Debbie  some pictures of the girls that were done right!


Here's a link to my updated website! 

Cheers, everyone.

Cure for the Common School Portrait • Summer Schedule & More...

Parents, friends....

We no longer have to settle for the bland, unexciting portraits of our kids.  Studio chains, mass-producing school portrait companies....I call them "assembly-line pictures".

I got into this business to change that!  It doesn't have to be that way.
There's no better time than the warm summer months to capture the spirit of your children at this age.

After the past couple of years I've really come to enjoy it.  The exciting part is creating something for someone that's like nothing else.  Truly unique. It's a beautiful thing!


Here's a link to my calendar for the next couple of months.
















One of the Moms I worked with last year put it best, saying "I want someone to walk in my home, point to the wall and say 'Wow, who took that?!'"  Time for a family photo update?



As for older kids, we can do that too!  I've been privileged to work with quite a few high school seniors over the past year.   Stepping beyond the limits of the studios,  these aren't your cookie-cutter yearbook mug shots!



Here's just a peek at what I've been up to so far this year....


Thanks to everyone for your support in the past.  Please feel free to contact me at any time!
