As many of you know my Dad has been very sick over the last 5 years. He has been on dialysis and it has literally been keeping him alive and killing him at the same time:( He has been dealing with excruciating pain for the 5 years. Not to mention it was told to him...

OF COURSE…
Synchronicity…The simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection.
I have been living A LOT of life lately. Most days are pretty hard to describe without talking a million miles a minute and totally spazzing out! I was able to capture one of my days a few weeks ago because...
Listen up Athletes
I had the opportunity recently to capture some images for a couple different companies. I started to panic a bit when I found out that it was 4 companies in ONE packed into 3 hours…not to mention I was the main photographer that was expected to capture a million different ideas. Once I got a...
Bloom
I don’t know that another quote has hit me with such an impact as this one…
“And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was greater than the risk it took to bloom.”
I was coasting.
Life was living me.
I didn’t feel like I had much control.
I was fearful most of my...
Souls are on fire today!
“Love really is the answer. We’re here only to teach love. When we’re doing that, our souls are singing and dancing.” Gerald Jampolsky, M.D. These 3 have been the shining example for me to follow when it comes to souls singing and dancing. They have so much love pouring out of them, it’s...
Say ‘YES’
‘Firework’
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
Cause baby you’re a firework
Come on show ‘em what you’re worth
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
There is something catchy about this song....

Work? Vacation? No it’s work..or was it vacation? When you are doing something that you are passionate about and there is so much growth behind it, how can it be called work? With Photography, I was passionate believe me…but when things didn’t go right or things got stressful, I was THE wizard behind the curtain...
Handmade Happiness!
Happy New year!!! Speaking of what makes me happy… cards!!! Thank you’s, Christmas, or just because! I have saved every meaningful card that I have ever received whether it be handmade or not, it just has to have words from the heart spilling out of it. The holiday season makes me giddy to get so...
Gift Giving/Getting
After reading The Five Love Languages it is impossible to not think in terms of people’s love languages of yourself and others. I am pretty sure that one of my strongest love languages as I have mentioned before, is ‘words of affirmation’, with ‘gift getting/giving’ running a close second. Recently, for my birthday I got...
Miracle
Sit back and let me tell you a little story that happens to be about hope, inspiration, blessings, strength, courage, bliss and love, just to name a few:) I have tapped into many forms of photography as I have put myself through school these last 8 years (my own college without grades;). I have loved...
