I love photographing my sweet friend, Asphalt Canvas Custom Art LLC, but I really love seeing the photos attached to her thoughtful posts even more!

I’m challenging you to ask someone a genuine question about their life today.

This happened to me in a coffee shop, yesterday. A complete stranger, making my cuppa coffee, actually asked about my day…and then cared about my answer.

This is becoming increasingly rare.

I hope I can make someone feel valued in this way. It’s part of the reason I started the .

How many conversations have you had recently, where you talked about yourself, your plans, your hopes, your trips, your family, your failures —— you you you. That person listening did you a moral favor. They cared about you as a human.

Pay it forward by asking more questions in your next conversation. 🤍

I know the thought of a summer photoshoot might sound like a nightmare. Coordinating everyone’s outfits, fixing your hair, doing your makeup, and hoping everyone cooperates? IN THIS HEAT?? But hear me out- what if you save that for the fall and opt for the lifestyle vibe?! Summer is the perfect time for laid back sessions and capturing the true spirit of your family! Let’s play in the creek, your pool, even on your boat!

Just thinking about how lucky I am to create memories for you guys and your sweet families.

🗣️Hey!! Let go of the idea that your photos need to look like a Sears catalog-everyone smiling at the camera and hair perfectly placed - and I promise that in even two years, you’ll look back and remember a feeling that you wouldn’t otherwise get.

We’d already rescheduled my sister’s maternity session because of storms, but it still ended up raining on reschedule day. We decided to just shoot at her house; I’m OBSESSED. There’s magic to be made in the moments you often overlook, but that’s where I come in! Shoot me a message if you wanna capture those feelings!

Another senior session I enjoyed, but this time for a baby cousin whose birth I remember. Now, on a somewhat unrelated note- who has good eye cream recs👀🤣
