And it started with a dress.... Like most things in my life, it started with a dress. I saw a dress on Etsy in May of 2012 when I was listing images and I fell in love. And for once, I hesitated purchasing it because it was so beautiful. I mean it is princess-worthy beautiful. [...]
Project Me This photo shoot happened a few months ago. I had the best intentions of writing this immediately, but I put it off. Then I got really sidetracked. And then, well, then I procrastinated some more. And now I‘ve decided to split it up into parts. So work with me…pretend its early March. Ready, [...]
Happy Anniversary Klings & Things! “Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.” I’d toyed with the idea for months. I told myself that I had to see if people bought anything, how the Christmas season went, that I needed to save some money, that I needed more time, and the scariest one….I had to [...]
In front of the camera: A photographer's day as a model. Everyone should have a friend that when you say, “I have this idea…it’s a bit crazy, but I think you’d really love it” who responds “I’m in!” without hesitation, reservation, or judgment.

"Roses by the Stairs" My best friend came up with The Lyric Project. The conversation went something like this: “You love words. You’re a band geek. This will make you think, you can get lyrics from other people, AND you don’t have to take a picture every day.” Honestly, it was the last part that [...]

Later Funkytown I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been in a creative funk the last few weeks. It’s been too hot to go anywhere, everything is brown and dry, I’ve been stressed out and having a hard time focusing on anything. Then Thursday afternoon I decided I’d had enough. I grabbed my camera and headed out [...]
Her Garden “Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.” – Walt Whitman Take even the quickest glance through my portfolio and you'll realize I take a lot of pictures of flowers. Can I grow flowers? Nope. Am I the nature-y type of girl who spends all day [...]
Twitter! The past week I’ve been doing a lot of research on the differences between the most popular social media networks available. I will openly admit I’m a facebook junkie…I’m so bad that I read my newsfeed every morning before I even get out of bed and I created an account for my mother so we [...]
YEA! Every day for the last 6 months, my son has asked me the same question: “Mommy, have you bought your website yet?” Depending on my answer, he has had one of three reactions. The first was by far the most frequent. He would look up at me with his big brown eyes, a little [...]
