I love shooting at the golden hour…especially with somebody that I admire so much as Dannielle. I wanted to feature the editing process of an image that I love so much. One hundred percent was done in Lightroom.

I am celebrating with this family as they are welcoming a baby girl to their family! Cannot wait to meet her! And congratulations to little TJ because he is a big brother now! I really love watching families grow and capturing these moments that are so easy to forget. And Danielle, you are stunning!

Van Denend {DoubleBlessing}

An impromptu photo shoot for this precious family. I had a blast and didn’t know how much these photos meant to me…until I processed them and began to tell a story on my blog. There’s a lot of love here. What a precious bunch of beautiful people…

Marcia Dansky {Sculptor}

Good Morning! Last week, I had an opportunity to follow Marcia Dansky to her work place and photographed her art pieces at an art gallery in Boulder City, Nevada. Most are one-of-a-kind pieces, and once they are gone, they’re gone! It was such a pleasure spending time with Marcia; I love hearing stories and experience the passion and joy from another artist. If you are in Boulder City, Nevada, be sure to stop by the Boulder City Art Gallery & Gift Shop and look for Marcia’s work!

Baby S {Newborn}

Nothing I love more than simplistic photos of newborns and their parents. Welcome to the world, Baby S!
