Cianna

When I was deciding which models to focus on at The Portrait Masters, Cianna jumped out at me. She was SO willing to help the photographers and do whatever poses they chose. She worked so hard… She had a smile that would light up the room and was just stunning to photograph. In fact, I went back to her several times… I kept thinking she’d be a cool chick to hang out with!

Here she is… isn’t she gorgeous? Check her out on Instagram!

A Caring Heart

Maura is such a beautiful person inside and out… involved in animal rescue and other great causes. Her and I chat often on Facebook about different things and she is always willing to lend a helping hand.

She is always reaching out to help others, so I was so happy to have her, her husband and 2 children in the studio to create a little something special for her. Thank you Maura for all your continued support and help! You’ve been one of my biggest cheerleaders and I appreciate you <3

Oh Baby!

I love babies! And although I don’t lean toward the “trendy” baby portraits, I enjoy creating classic, timeless portraits of babies of all ages to be treasured for years to come. Here are just a few of the cuties to come through the studio lately!

Mother & Daughter Portrait Session | Andrea & Maddie

To me one of the most beautiful experiences and memories you can have is to spend the time being photographed with loved ones. Not only is it quality time together that will be remembered, but you walk away with physical treasure that will last a lifetime and beyond.

How special to spend time with your daughter dressing up, being pampered, and creating memories captured forever?

It was a joy photographing Andrea and her daughter Maddie... the way she looked at her mom as if she were the most magical princess in the world is beyond words. The connection was undeniable, and I hope they will treasure these images (and memories) for years to come!

Bringing JOY To The World

I had the pleasure of photographing local Instagram icon Meghan Joy Yancy (check her out!) and 3 of her girls at my studio. I absolutely love following her and seeing all the adorable photos of her family.

I cannot explain how sweet, kind, well behaved, and amazingly cooperative these girls were. They are exactly the kind of girls you want your own daughter to hang around with!

It was such a joy photographing you and your family Meghan… all the best to you!

Beautiful Models

When I attended the Portrait Masters conference in Phoenix in September to further my portrait education, one of my favorite parts was photographing some of the incredible models there. It was such a great experience to try different lighting scenarios and directing strangers… although they sure made it easy! Aren’t these ladies lovely?
