This blog is a journal of my journey as a Christian full-time working wife, mother, photographer and the energy required to grow my photography business and juggle all of my responsibilities. I am thankful to God for giving me a gift and creative ability that translates into a business. I love capturing a place and time and hope to become a full-time photographer and pass on my skills to my daughters and future children. Thank you for reading and learning with me.

How Low Can You Go?
I believe one of the most interesting aspects of photography is capturing objects that allow you to see them in different ways. Showing common (even mundane) objects from different angles provides for a better appreciation. Because I spend most of my time on the floor during playtime, I have begun to photograph items down low and up close. On an outing at the park I was able to do just that. Instead of exploring the beauty of trees and bodies of water the impetus to exhibit reality from the perspective of a little one (whether child or animal) overtook me. I recalled my childhood and how simple objects comparable to pine cones and tree roots were much larger than they are now. Getting lower in this fashion connects me to my daughter and seeing things from her perspective. It reminds me of simpler times and changes ordinary phases into absolutely extraordinary experiences.
