The first wedding of 2011 is wrapped! Lacy and Brent are relaxing on their honeymoon today!  But Saturday was a whir of activity and emotion as they exchanged vows and became Mr. and Mrs. Lazenby.  We could not have created a more beautiful day if we knew how.  Gorgeous blue skies and a nice warm […]

I know it’s better to give than to receive, but it’s so much fun to receive that we don’t often agree with that statement.  Right?  I am ridiculously excited about the gift I am about to give.  I do occasionally get really excited about giving.  I surprised my husband with an iPad this year for […]

Do you feel like you’re part of little Abigail’s life?  We’ve watched her grow over the last 6 months.  But I have sad news- it’s coming to an end.  Her little family is leaving us for New Mexico in less than 2 weeks.  They’re so excited and ready, but I am just a little sad […]

Were you hoping for a post about spring?  This warm weather sure does have it on the brain!  But no, this post is about an adorable baby girl.  I got to meet sweet Bailey and her family today.  She is a little 6-month-old bundle of snuggles.  Six-month-olds are a little tricky because they’re not really […]

You should know that I go to the beach a lot between the months of December and May.  The heat and the crowds are a little too oppressive for me come summer.  Give me winter and spring at the beach and I’m a happy girl.  A snowbird, I guess!  So, these photos were from our […]

I go to the beach most every Martin Luther King weekend.  The trip has changed significantly from when the tradition started in 2000.  That trip included 5 college juniors, single, no children, few responsibilities or reasons to get up before 10 or 11 or 12.  Now the trip usually includes my friend Erin, her two […]

This week I saw a tweet about a contest.  I think my chances of winning are slim, but I was inspired by the idea.  Here is the contest: “If you’re a photographer I want you to blog an entire wedding with no portraits, no details and no staged or directed shots. I don’t care if […]

A few months ago my baby turned 3 years old.  I’m not sure how it happened, as I remember VIVIDLY the moment they handed her to me in the hospital and it could not possibly have been 3 years ago.  Nevertheless, it seems to have happened and so we had a party.  (I’m quite tardy […]

It’s a darn good thing that the client I photograph most is irresistibly adorable.  Abigail turned 6-months-old at the end of December, and with holidays and travel and all the goings on, we finally got her 6 month portraits done in her 7th month.  What’s hard about photographing babies, is that they get fussy and […]

My newest, littlest angel is already 6 months old.  Of course, I did some portraits.  Oh MY- Those big big big blue eyes.  What fun we’re having! This was the week of the BCS National Championship, so I’m pretty sure she’s saying, “We’re #1, HEY, second to none!”  War Eagle!She was also baptized last Sunday.  […]

My elementary school PE Coach turned 60 this month.  And asked me to photograph her great big party!  Coach Robbins (Jane) had been planning this party for months.  Every detail.  The company that she hired the DJ from said that they had never seen such a detailed plan for a party.  And that was just […]

I’m not going to make my goal of two FULL posts this week.  I’m headed to the beach tomorrow, with no computer, so this is just a little sneak at the next post when I return.  No story or hints about what it is, just this one fantastical image!

Prepare yourself.  This post is about a middle schooler.  I fear middle schoolers a little.  They’re generally so uncomfortable and make me uncomfortable.  I’m not sure what to talk to them about or even how to respond to what they say to me.  I think it’s the hardest age.  I have great respect for those […]

I realize that it’s well past Christmas and most of you are probably over it.  But I just love it.  I love my family, I love having my husband around for the holidays, I love the joy of the season,  the music, all the church services, everything.  So, this will be my last Christmas blog, […]

I know- Christmas is over.  But I miss it already and this post makes me feel like it’s not totally gone! Christmas Tree chopping is my favorite Christmas tradition.  My whole family goes and we all have to agree on a tree.  We go to Old Baker Farm and have for decades.  Usually my father […]
