Portrait tip #3: Keep Calm and Feed On
Keep calm and feed on. Keep calm and feed on. Good rule of thumb for everyone in the portrait, whether child, teen or adult. Everyone gets cranky when their blood sugar gets low. Coupled with the stress of getting a family dressed, out the door and to the place on time, who wouldn’t feel a […]
Portrait tip #1: Connection, not Perfection
Focus on Connection, not Perfection You know those photographs of people that make you take a double look and then smile?

It may be time to get those business headshots updated and have portraits that will create a personal connection with your clients. Our next business headshot […]
Nick & Erin, Dog Park Engagement Session
I’m so excited to share this engagement portrait session! Spending time outside in nature and with each other is what Nick and Erin like to do, so out we went for their engagement portraits. Springs’ residents don’t just love their dogs; we take them everywhere possible. So, it made perfect sense to bring Marley along. […]

Little Mr. Emmett
Little Mr. Emmett. Oh, my, my, oh my. My first look at Emmett was straight from a bath and all his baby fine red hair was sticking out in all it’s Einsteinesque glory! Mama tamed it before we started on portraits though. Such a wonderful session with the little man. Mom and Grandma were […]

Brooke Stroud Dance Studio

There are a couple of dancers that I really enjoy talking with and seeing their different dance styles and incredible moves. Here’s […]

Baby Weston
Oh, those little finger and toes! The little lips, little yawns; all so very precious. This is one of my opportunities to snuggle up with a baby (that’s not furry and not my Dora) and photograph those little adorablenesses. Enjoy!
Puppy and family
I often am asked to photograph the family fur baby in with a family portrait, but not often do I get the opportunity to photograph a dog’s family. Such is this session. Puppy Bella was being adopted and her human family wanted to photograph her and her parents, both for memory’s sake (such a delightful […]
