For a class I’m taking called the Documentary Approach, I needed to capture a day in the life. I LOVE this assignment and I’m sure will treasure these pictures in later years.~Time spent with family is worth every second.

I took the boys down to an old water plant that is just the walls remaining to get some pictures on a nice Wednesday during spring break. I dressed them in jean jackets and cowboy boots to give the clothing a more timeless feel.  I hadn’t been to this location in over 20 years so […]

I went with light blues and dark blues for Easter clothing colors for the kids. I am still taking my studio light  class so more practice with the kids:) I can’t even tell you how hot and sweaty and agitated I felt after taking these, but I am happy with the results so it was […]

I am taking a studio lighting class so I did a set with the kids for Valentine’s Day. The really liked the props, well all except Luke. He did not like the clothes he had to wear.I am so glad you are here, it helps me realize how beautiful my world is. ~Goethe

We went to a new Pumpkin Patch right when it opened on Sunday at noon. It was a gorgeous fall day. They had all kinds of activities for the kids to do. A hay bale maze, corn pit, zip lines, jumping pad, slides, bubbles and a pedal cart track. I used the Greater Than Gatsby […]

Sunday after the nut fry at the ranch was a laid back day. We cleaned up and the kids played. Luke was teaching Ramsey how to shoot a BB gun. He can shoot for hours, his attention span seems to be unwavering if he’s trying to master something. Each ring of the target was a […]

One of my best friends came out to the ranch to take pictures of the kids. I took a few with my camera to get some more practice in. We are so blessed to have a ranch that my kids can go to and run around fishing, playing, horseback riding and enjoying the outdoors. This bench […]
