I’m a girl who likes people and pictures and pretty stuff and stuff that smells good.

Getting in the Holiday Spirit…

I know I said I wouldn’t be doing mini sessions this year, and I meant it. Between the normal Christmas rush and getting the studio ready, I just didn’t think I could handle it. I didn’t want to promise something I couldn’t deliver. But after repeated requests and wanting to accommodate as many people as [...]

The first session in my new studio. :)

First, can I just say how much I ***LOVE*** having a studio? Every time I drive over there, every time I walk in, every time I look out the window onto the street and see how stinking adorable downtown Campbell is, I just get so giddy with excitement. After spending over a decade picking up [...]

Post-a-palooza…

I’ve got a huge backlog of sessions that haven’t been posted. And I’m starting to feel bad, because I love each and every one. Honestly. There’s something about hanging out with a family for over an hour, getting to know them, watching them interact, then coming home and re-living it as I proof. It’s amazing [...]

Cute Maternity

These two are (ok, were, as this session is from a while ago and I’ve since done the baby session which can be seen here… eventually) expecting their first child. I love the excitement of soon-to-be first-time parents… They’re on the verge of something huge and while they *think* they have an idea of what [...]

Hi there!

So, I got back safely. (Last week.) And I had a great time. Tonight I had a dinner to remind me of the good times I had in Kentucky. You know… Kentucky Fried Chicken!!  Complete with “honey sauce” that’s only 11% honey and “buttery spread” that didn’t even bother to include ingredients on the packet. [...]

Help me find a book.

I’ve finished the books I had on my to-read shelf, and am finding myself without anything to read for my trip home on Tuesday. I’m calling out to you (yes, YOU!) to please suggest a great new read. Pretty please?

Visiting London!

If you’ve been trying to reach me, I’m sorry I’ve been hard to get a hold of. You see, I’m spending the weekend in London.
Yes, London.
London, Kentucky.
What on earth would bring me to London, Kentucky, you ask? Good question! My sister moved to Kentucky this summer. She wanted her family photos taken, and figured that [...]

Merry Christmas! (and an amazing family)

A little early for that, I know. But seriously, it’s time to think about Christmas. The last day for sessions to be done in time for Christmas is November 15. Any session scheduled after that may not make it in time for Christmas. As of today, I have one Saturday session and about 4 weekday [...]

Busy busy

Busy… but good! That pretty much describes things around here right now. I have some very exciting news:
I’m opening up a studio space in Downtown Campbell!
I couldn’t be more excited. I *love* the vibe of the city there, and there is so much going on, from farmers markets to art walks. It is so alive. [...]

Fun day for me.

Today my family went to visit the cousins… everyone except me. I had a fun session this morning, then took the afternoon wandering antique stores. I bought a couple of old cameras. I’m excited to play with them. I had takeout, had control of the remote, I cleaned the house and it stayed clean. It’s [...]
