Let me start by saying that I love what I do. I feel so very blessed to be able to stay home with my kiddies and also be a photographer. I love being able to catch those sweet and sometimes awkward moments of life on camera for people to cherish. My favorite shots are the [...]

Our friends, Aaron and Bonnie recently came for a visit. They moved from Jax right about when Bonnie found out she was pregnant. And now, their little bambina, Campbell Piper, is 9 months! Time FLIES! It was such a wonderful visit with them. We even had a chance to get in a family session at [...]

As you may already know, I am deeply in love with the gorgeous trees here in Jacksonville, Florida. One of my favorite spots of these eye candy trees is Losco Park. I recently had the privilege of meeting up with the very sweet Landry family to take their family photos. It was a hot and [...]

The week before school ended for my kids I asked them what they would like to do this summer. One of the things they both agreed on was going to Adventure Landing’s Shipwreck Island Waterpark. Sweet! I’ll agree to do almost anything (reasonable) IF they can both agree upon it. So, guess what we did? [...]

I recently had the opportunity to take newborn pics for one of the sweetest little bambinos. His name is Landon and he was a perfect little gentleman for the whole shoot. Chad and Gracie you have been truly blessed with this sweet little nugget of love! I’m so very happy for you both and wish [...]

Let me start by saying that I’ve always loved the beauty of the Indian culture. All the traditions, and especially the beautifully bright and vibrant clothes. I was so thrilled when I had the opportunity to capture Ram and Sowmiya’s special day. Sowmiya and Ram, I am so very happy for you two. I [...]

After going to the show last week, I took the kids with me down to the arena again. That next morning the Jacksonville Ice and Sportsplex brought the students and their parents down to the arena for a Q&A time with the skaters of the show. It was a fun, cold morning. I totally lost [...]

Last Thursday, we went to the opening night of Disney On Ice Toy Story 3 at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena. We had so much fun! My friend and I took some of our daughters and surprised them. They were ecstatic! I hadn’t been to an ice show since I was a young girl. I [...]

Back on the blog, that is. If these faces look familiar, its because we’ve seen them here before. It’s always a fun time shooting the Woffs. Not only are they some of my favorite clients, they’re our friends, too. We love us some Justin and Hannah! I’m very excited for what’s in store for them [...]

I had the amazing privilege of taking the wedding pics for one of my very best friends in the world, Heather. I’ve known Heather for about 21 years (crap, I feel old) and practically lived at her house through high school. There are so many wonderful memories that come to mind, but I won’t babble [...]

In addition to having a wonderfully relaxing time with our friends in Guadalajara a few months back, we got to see some of the city. It was so incredibly beautiful! I fell in love with all the shops that lined the streets filled with handmade pottery and blankets and such. Oh, and this levitating [...]

Following our visit home a couple months ago, Brandon and I went to Guadalajara with one of my best friends to celebrate and shoot her amazing wedding. Heather and Alejandro and a couple handfuls of their friends and family all met in Guadalajara for H & A’s marriage. It was the first vacation that B [...]

One of the many highlights of our trip back home this past October/November was being able to visit family. We were so happy to be able to stay with family as well, too! While home, we stayed with my sister and her husband and their brood and also with my mama. I loved being able [...]

While we were home on a visit this past October, we went out to my dad and step-mom’s place. The kids LOVED being out on the farm and visiting Papa Cow and Nana! It’s so peaceful at their place. In the morning, we went out to the horses and the kids got to feed them [...]

We went home (Seattle) for a visit in late October/early November. It had been WAY too long between visits and that trip made my year!!! A good portion of my family had never even seen our youngest, Piper. Again, it was way too long between visits. Anywhoo, we not only got to visit family, but [...]

I know this Christmas post is a wee bit late. I’ve been super busy over the past few months. So, I’m finally catching up on my sadly neglected blog. I had the opportunity to do Christmas pictures for the lovely Jaeger family. If their name looks familiar, it’s because they were here on the blog [...]

I recently had the opportunity to do the band photos for Terry Parker High School. I had a great time! The kids were awesome. They sure knew how to have a good time! I had a great time with the band! If you are in need of band pictures, let me know. Email me at [...]

We recently took a trip back home to see family. While there, I had the pleasure of doing a family session for my sister in-law’s family. It was the first time seeing my sweet new nephew, Lazlo. I just love him so much. It’s hard not to cover him bright lipstick, smothered in kisses and [...]

We recently went to Black Rock Beach. If you’ve never been there and you live in the Jacksonville, Florida area, you HAVE to go to Black Rock. It’s a hidden gem about a mile and a half of the road between Little Talbot and Big Talbot Islands. It is a place that is off the [...]

The Smith family! Back in August I ran a drawing on my Facebook page for a Christmas Mini Session Giveaway. All the names were thrown in a hat and my kids chose one…Shenera Smith! Shenera and Dee have a wonderful son named Liam. I’m telling you, Liam is a complete natural! The boy may be [...]

These Barnett’s are not to be confused with our family, the Barnettes. Ha! I first met Greg, Katie, and Nate when I did Nate’s six month pictures. Katie is my “almost name twin”. How many of those do you get to meet in a lifetime? I love it! Recently, Greg and Katie adopted a sweet [...]

Recently, I was so thankful to be a part of the community in giving Tyler and Ashley Southern their dream wedding! Tyler and Ashley went to high school together and later reunited when Tyler came home from war. While in Afghanistan, Tyler stepped on a IED and as a result lost both legs, his right [...]

We were recently down in one of our favorite cities, St. Augustine. Brandon and I took the kids down to celebrate our ten year anniversary and show the kids where we got married. We were walking around town with our wedding photographs in hope of taking pictures with them in the style of Dear Photograph. [...]

We recently had Piper’s birthday party at the pool. The weather was perfect and we were so blessed to have a bunch of her friends, new and old, come to celebrate! Happy birthday, Piper Sue!!
