I opened up my curtains on a very cold morning and was greeted to this scene on my window. I was fascinated by the shapes and textures the frost created on my window. Art is everywhere, we just have to open our eyes to see it! We see a hummingbird drinking from flowers, what do...

The Many “Faces” of Tianna
I want to introduce you to a seriously great kid: Tianna. Her Mom wanted some portraits to showcase all the things Tianna likes to do – it was neat to look over the entire session and see the many “faces” of Tianna. She loves soccer, on the way to soccer practice, she draws and reads....
Mini Moments – Spirit of Spring
I don’t know about you, but on this cold, blustery day, I’d take any sign that spring is around the corner to warm me up. In hopes that spring will soon be here, we will focus on the spirit of spring for our first Mini Moment session of 2011. Mini Moment Sessions are short sessions...
