I’m sure you remember when this American Hero came home, right? Well his entire family came to visit for Christmas and I had the honor of photographing them! Here is a quick glimpse of the fun we had at the park.
For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated with photography. My struggle to find my passion came to an end when I purchased my first DSLR. Ever since, I haven't wanted to miss a minute with my camera, because each moment is precious and memories are kept alive through photographs. I adore natural light photography and strive to capture "real" moments ~ in a photo-journalistic manner. My blog is a place for me to show sneak-peeks of sessions and keep in touch with people through pictures. I am eager to grow and learn more about photography and myself each day. Come along on my journey with me. I'm so glad you are here!

It’s been over a year for my beautiful friend and her little man. The anticipation of Daddy’s arrival was long and hard, but the day finally arrived. The photos are not perfect, but the memories are…. {Grab your kleenex….}

When hiring a custom photographer you are also putting your trust within that artist to have the best images possible in print and digital form. By altering the artist’s work you are taking away from the quality and professionalism of the art.
Thank you so much for respecting Catherine’s work and livelihood by choosing not to reproduce her images.
I am not the run of the mill "sit here and say cheese" photographer. I will capture the essence of childhood and meticulously accentuate your photos beautifully. Custom photography can be broken down into even more levels. There are on location, studio, mixed studio/on location, specialty location and destination type photographers. The beauty of custom photography is in the choices and in the luxury of thoses options. The customized service level you are sure to experience will be amazing. The knowledge that your final images are the result of someone caring about those moments so much that they take extra time ensuring that the artwork you receive is good enough to stand by with their name on it. That level of quality and commitment is all but lost in the age of "mass produced," "mass marketed," corporate "everyone is a number". Custom photography is based on being unique to you. How great an experience would be, to be able to sit back and allow a photographer to do this highly custom work for images that you will most likely cherish for a lifetime?
