Fill Your Life With Pictures That Push You To Feel
You can look at pictures and not just see them with your eyes, but feel them with your heart. You know those pictures that almost have stories behind them as if they are letting you in on secrets, bringing you into dialogues and transporting you into different moments. Maybe they have worn…
Simply By Being Here
This little one graced the planet with his presence. In all his love and all his simplicity, he is divinely created and perfectly here. In the very rise and fall of his chest, with every breath, it reminds us still. That he is perfectly here. That he could have been born anywhere and at anytime, but today, he is here…
Kindness In Your Eyes
Have you ever seen kindness living in someone’s eyes? It is almost like a subtle flame inviting you to know and trust that there is goodness in the everyday. There is a very warmth about them that sets your heart at ease and sometimes when your eyes meet with their own, it is like you can swim in this…
The Importance of Being IN Your Photographs
Having yourself in your photographs is super important, but there's a difference between being in them and being present in them. Are you in your family photographs just for the sake of having your face seen? Or are you truly IN them? Are you witnessing every perfect interaction…
Why Are Older Brothers & Sisters So Important?
Being a big brother or sister isn’t just about age or doing things in a certain order or at certain times. Being a sibling is bigger than numbers and bigger than dates. It's a bond that starts from the very first breath. It is seeing who can run faster, jump higher, talk louder. It is making one another laugh so hard…
Choose Legacy
We all have things that we cover our walls with. Maybe it is paintings that make us swoon, pictures of our loved ones or words that remind us of what we want for our future. And the most amazing thing that we get to fill our walls with are images captured when we’ve spent time with the ones we love the most…
Mamas Are The Most Genuine Memory Keepers
I had a conversation this past week with a mother of three about photography. She received a gorgeous new camera for Christmas from her husband (obviously, he's a keeper!) and was worried about learning how to use it. Not just that though, she finally had the tools she needed to document her child's life...
It's Always Been Your Eyes
It is your eyes. Beautiful girl, it has always been your eyes. The first time I saw your eyes, I was in love. They laid you upon my chest and your eyes met with my own and they pierced my soul. You were the gift that had been growing inside of me. You were the gift whose kicks I felt against my…

Meaningful Family Photos I Guarantee You'll Love
I’ve been a photographer since 2005. Throughout my journey, I have learned and enjoyed many different photographic styles. One of my favourite things is documenting families as they spend time loving each other. There's something about the connection between people that I can't stop…
Happiness Is In the Form of Grandmas
Happiness can come in many shapes and sizes. Happiness may be in the form of freshly baked cookies. Happiness may be in the form of the sun shining down so heavily or your big, fluffy mutt of a dog. It may be in the form of leaves on a tree in the middle of autumn. For me, though, happiness is in the form of…
Baby, I Love You, I Promise I Always Will
Baby, I love you. I promise, I always will. You were heaven breathed into little lungs and a huge heart. And there are things that you teach me about Him that I could never have learned on my own. You have shown me a love I could not have contained in these bones alone…
