Dearest readers and friends, I am so excited to finally be able to share why I have been missing these past few weeks … Tuesday, January 10th I was sitting in a movie (Twilight – during “the scene” no less!) when I noticed my girlfriend’s phone lighting up. I looked over to see Corey’s number [...]

The power of family:
I realized this week that family is the strongest unit in all the world. That none of us could be or do or even exist without family. That many of us make sacrifices every day to serve and love and simply be present for people we call family. That hours spent scrubbing dishes and cleaning [...]
A new workshop announced:
Happy Friday to you all! This past week has looked quite different than normal. Charley has been in Knoxville with grandparents all week! She is coming home today and I cannot wait to get her back in my arms. I miss kissing her neck and smelling her hair. I miss sitting with her while she [...]

It is these types of photos that I believe are what become heirlooms to our families. She was changing out her roll of film and when she [...]
Jessica + Grant
Life for me is still being lived in Crazyland, but I wanted to drop-in and share some images with you. I took these just a few weeks ago and as I was preparing their print order they yet again brought a smile across my face. Jessica and Grant were the ideal clients. Beautiful people inside [...]
the way she sees things:
She sent me a link to view her photos with a note that said, “Rode my bike around our neighborhood on Sunday for a few hours and took pictures. I love this town so much I could marry it. Thought you’d be proud of 2 or 3 of these (and I know the others have [...]
