I love styled shoots. I enjoy dreaming them up and then seeing how the reality comes together. This session was inspired by a bike. A simple teal bike.

My Project 365 | August 2018
Project 365: August 2018. We moved from Texas to Kansas. Joey was gone for practically two weeks. There is cardboard everywhere. Our Texas house went on the market. Mommy’s favorite toy is chalk.

Finding Subjects | Photographing Family
So I’ve been diving back into photography lately. I always go through periods where life gets in the way (because I let it), and photography takes a big back seat. Then I realize that I hate how that feels and I jump back on the wagon! This last Fall I realized that I wasn’t taking…

Making Time for Myself as a Mom | Photoshoot Fun!
Mom’s have this great ability to take care of others. We often are running around wiping noses, making dinner, doing chores, running errands, and generally just going all the time.
