Esther: Capturing JoyPHOTOGRAPHY // JUNE 1, 2019
A few weeks back, on a beautiful May morning, I had the privilege of photographing Esther, my adorable little sister! She was a little reluctant at first, but soon she settled right in, and her goofy, joyful, bubbly self made the perfect model, don’t you think?
Snapshots of Spring PHOTOGRAPHY // MAY 24, 2019
I love spring. I love the damp, rich, smell after a spring storm and the cool refreshing breezes that whisper over the meadows. I love listening to the cheery cries of the songbirds flitting among the gentle glow of the rising sun. I love the sweet aroma of violets and apple blossoms, the vibrant green of fresh grass as I wander through dewy pastures. Everywhere I look is a beautiful promise of new life.

Planning A Surprise Party - How I Did It and What I LearnedJOURNEY // APRIL 30, 2019
Hi Everyone!
I won’t waste time apologizing for the delayed post. As you know…life happens. As I’m sure you can guess by the title, this post is all about parties and planning and celebrating! With the help of my Dad and a few others, I planned my Mom’s surprise 50th birthday party. Let me just say. It was a blast. It was a ton of work. It was totally worth it. And I discovered that I thoroughly enjoyed planning and hosting a party — surprising for an introvert, huh? First things first...some pictures! I didn’t get as many as I wanted, mainly because I was finalizing details to the very end and ran out of time to take some pre-party photos! However, here are a few of my favorite shots. |
