The Person

Well first of all, I try not to take myself too seriously, so it's hard for me to think about what I want to say about myself!  I grew up in Florida with a large family. My enitre family has Art running through their veins. My Grandfather was a professional photographer, Mom and Dad both have artistic qualities, and I think all of my sibblings have a knack for being creative one way or another! So here I am, married with children and wondering how in the world am I going to channel my passion into something beautiful, productive, fulfilling, and find bliss all at the same time!? But seriously, I sometimes feel like photography is my drug.

I am 6 years married with three sweet boys, 4, 2, and 5 months. (I'm going to have to keep that updated...). I love my family dearly, I love my Heavenly Father and going to church, I'm a good girl, and I never INTEND to offend anybody :) I'm very gullible, goofy, and an all around happy-go-lucky person.

The Photographer

Why Photography?  Oh goodness, I need an outlet, I LOVE people, I love love, and I LOVE adorable little baby fat rolls. I HAVE to create, I can't breathe without that.  Though being a full time mom and homemaker takes up most of my time and energy, I just can't keep myself from obsessing and dreaming about being an amazing wedding Photographer.  Over the past 4 years in the wedding industry, I feel like I've become a regular wedding junkie!  By recognizing the latest styles and wedding trends, I am prepared to capture everything that is unique and beautiful at your wedding and wrap it all up into an amazing timeless package.  And that amazing package is the work of art you will walk away with when the day is all said and done.  How well do you want to remember it?

My boys! & First Blog Contest EVER!

These two are getting so big!  I just played around today with lighting in my house just getting a feel for what works and what doesn’t work…I’m still not confident yet in what I’m going for, but I loved these ones just cause their mine, and if they turned out, it was an accident!  I just need to be more consistent, and then I’ll feel better.  Let me know what you think!

Also, I’d like to know who is out there and who checks out mine and Missy’s blogs on a regular basis!  SO, I’m running a little contest…I will be giving away a $20 gift card to Borders Bookstore to the person who leaves the 20th comment on this blog entry!  Tell us a little about who you are, what your all about, anything you’d like to share about yourself.  This will be fun!

Jackson cooperated suprisingly well, but I was letting him do what ever he wanted…even pull Henry ALMOST all the way off his bed!

These three just make me smile…I think Jackson is so sweet!

Jackson loves picking at his feet! Funny little quirk…

Jackson had to go down for a nap, so I played in other parts of the house with Henry…this was very spontaneous, so my house may not look the cleanest! Ooops.

I did a lot of stuff inside, but I really liked a lot of these. It was just way too hot to “work” (no AC!!!!), so we went outside and cooled off.

And, the sleeping prince :) He’s been funny lately and has been setting up his sleep spot on the floor next to his bed, or on my comfy recliner. Another funny little quirk ;)
