Like most photographers, I’ve kept my distance from people and clients which means no photo shoots. Although I only shoot outdoors, I have still been social distancing and refraining from really leaving the house unless it’s an absolute necessity. During this time I am SO thankful for Amazon. If you don’t have an Amazon Prime […]

Q. I am interested in helping the local humane society improve the photos they take of the adoptable dogs. Any tips you can provide would be greatly appreciated. A. I do realize that the volunteers at shelter and rescue organizations may not have the equipment or the time to take the best photos of the […]

It seems like just yesterday I was posting my latest pregnancy log. Now here I am with a 6 week old precious baby boy and only 5 weeks left of maternity leave. I’ve been trying to find the time to write a few blog posts – one for new Mommas who need to know the […]

Here we are for log #3!  I feel I am super close to the end – I went into labor at 38 weeks with my first, but I feel this time will be even sooner. This boy is running out of room (or womb!) for sure. Cravings: My red grapes craving has subsided and been […]

Many of you saw my recent post about Micalla Rettinger and how her life was tragically taken when a stray bullet shot through her car window on a highway near Waterloo. The family’s beloved dog Charlie (pictured in this photo) crossed the rainbow bridge to join Micalla yesterday.  It’s clear that Micalla needed Charlie with […]

It’s so easy to get wrapped up in daily life chaos. Working a full time day job, juggling photo shoots after work,  pregnancy, training a new puppy, comforting a terrible twos toddler. The list goes on. But there is nothing like a wake up call when you hear about someone’s tragic loss – especially when […]

Here we are for log #2! I am around 6 months pregnant now and counting down the weeks (OK, minutes) until I am due. I will be 100% honest and say I am not a pleasant pregnant person. I am much more excited to meet our baby boy and experience all things newborn versus carrying […]

By this time in my first pregnancy, I had already written 5 logs about pregnancy. Ha! Oh how times change when you have a toddler, a new puppy and baby #2 on the way. For my own records, I like to document big life journeys so I can always remember these moments as time and […]

Abby passed away November 24. One week later, I learned I was pregnant with baby #2. I repressed the majority of my grief because I needed to be strong for the baby. Since that sad day when we said goodbye to Abby, the house was left with zero howling duets, a quiet and aloof Miniature […]

I am so thrilled to share with you the gender of baby #2! If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know I have a sweet little 2 1/2 year old girl. Although when she was in my belly, I was convinced she was a boy. Here is a portion of my blog post in […]
