oday I feel VERY compelled to write to my fellow photographers and clients about something that t is SO important to planning a wedding. A timeline. A timeline that reflects a stress free RELAXED day. We all know stress doesn't ever help anything! After shooting too many weddings with a crammed schedule and limited time for photos, I am 100 percent positive I am right about this :) Its always a bummer when you are only given such limited time for photos and are not able to work to your fullest. We all seem to know how this goes oh too well. ... View Full Post

'm sitting at Sky Harbor Airport waiting to board my flight to beautiful Dallas texas, with an iced Starbucks coffee in hand. I'm preparing myself for heat. Not the kind of heat in Phoenix I'm used to, but the kind of heat that sticks to you and and makes you feel like your suffocating.

If you are viewing this post in Firefox, you can see the difference in these two photos. Both photos are saved in different formats and neither photos have been edited. I have been editing my...

am SO proud to finally launch my NEW website!! It has been such a fun process working with these two amazing companies that have done an absolute FABULOUS job! I first contacted Infinet Design, to help me figure out what designers call a "brand." I needed a design that would set me a part from other photographers and really visually describe my personality to my readers.

became a photographer about four years ago. I'm not really sure I "became" a photographer or if I had the talent all along. The furthest back I can remember loving photography are the model shots I took as a kid. I loved to get together with my girlfriends and carelessly paint each others faces with what we thought was a fabulous makeup job. We took photos for hours in our backyards with my moms 35mm camera and waited anxiously at walmart for the film to be developed so we could see our pretty little faces on a piece of shiny paper. I never... View Full Post
