My Inspiration

As it is with all mothers, my little boy owns my heart.   And once he was born the 9-5 business world became hard to go back to, and I was fortunate to be able to don the label “stay at home mom”.  I found myself quite restless though, and at this same time (being a new mom) became a little  “picture crazy!”  I had become un-happy with the traditional “studio” pictures  – that did little to represent my family, relationships, and personality.  We had recently finished constructing our home, and I needed a new  project  … and so in 2008 (two years ago) I began my business.

I have always loved photography, well maybe the word isn’t simply photography but instead relationships  – capturing them.   I became enamored with “what makes a good picture” … is it the light? … passion? … editing? … the angle?  And so began my studies …

I began to notice beauty in a way I never had before.  In trying to find “ingredients” for a beautiful picture, I began to notice that which is already beautiful.  It was always there – I just had not trained my eyes to see it.  I would drive by and see a field of flowers, a rustic old barn, mother walking  her child through the park … and think, that would make a nice back drop or picture.  I have never been the “stop and smell the roses” type, but now at-least I might notice them as I go rushing by …

And it all does go by so fast … and that’s why I love my job!  It’s such a privilege to have my work on the walls of homes, and to know that those families can look back at it years later and remember how it was “then …”

So a big thanks to all of my clients and followers who have inspired and supported my work, and welcome to my new site!  I will leave you with a few pictures of my little man from last fall, that I never had a chance to post.
