Thanks for stopping by!

I love to celebrate beautiful things! My interests include anything crafty, colorful and fun! I love to travel, cook, craft, design, create, entertain, decorate, sew..and the list goes on. Stunning images inspire me and I hope I can share a few things here that will inspire you too!

I have always loved photographs. My grandma has always taken a million pictures and it inspired me from a young age. With my first 110 camera I captured fun memories of family vacations and everyday activities. Since having kids my focus has turned to the art of the portrait. In my eyes the "perfect" portrait doesn't mean a creaseless shirt and stiff poses, but instead a twinkle in the eye and a glimpse into the soul.

My specialty is children. I love to capture them in their natural element. I want to capture who your child is at this moment. The little noses, funny smiles and dirt covered faces that make them the person that they are right now.

My approach is VERY relaxed...very "photo journalistic." I'm not a girl that likes to pose. My idea of a perfect shoot is to meet you somewhere fun and let your kids play and be themselves while I fade into the background. I believe it's those moments that you truly want to remember. Anyone can take a picture. I want to capture a moment and tell a story.

I'd LOVE to come play with your little ones. Think of a place where they are happiest. Disneyland? Chuck E Cheese? Krispy Kreme? Think outside the box. Let's get together and let them explore, get dirty and have some fun! Those WILL be your cherished memories!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I am back and STILL sick. Yuck! But, that doesn’t stop me from having some fun here on the blog. Each year I like to do a little feature in December called “my favorite things.” I love to share fun gift ideas, cute crafts, and best of all GIVEAWAYS!! This year we have days of giveaways in December…all leading up to Christmas. I am SO excited!!

So, sit back, relax and get ready to win some stuff!! And, just because you KNOW I can’t do a post without a picture, here’s one of my FAVORITE ideas for an advent this year. You can easily re-create this with those cute little buckets from the Target dollar bins. Fill each one with some goodies and maybe a service idea for the day. SO FUN!!
