Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, a sorting hat, and a little Harry Potter…. These are in the dreams of mamas who grew up reading about wizards, curses, and flying objects of all kinds. In that fantasy world so far away, we can all see our own imperfect selves. We can feel Harry’s hurt and we can celebrate […]

Ms. Regina brings her sweeties to see me from time to time, and now we are adding GREAT to the grand babies. What a blessing!  Baby Rayden and his Uncle Adam both did awesome. Adam was hilarious and determined to not smile with his teeth showing until I bribed him with a sucker.  Then I discovered […]

Emily didn’t know when she went to work at Stockdale’s that it would bring about the chance meeting that would change her life forever.  When Hunter walked in, she stopped still and tried to breathe.  When she could think again, she stole his phone number and then she stole his heart.  And any young man […]

Betsy wanted to do a family session for her mom as a birthday present, and she wanted to have it photographed on the family farm in Halifax. I can’t think of a better present for anyone, especially parents or grandparents. As time goes by and we all gather way more material things than we know […]

It takes about 1.07 seconds to see the love this family shares. Danny contacted me in December about photographing a winter session for his girlfriend and her family. First, I thought it was sweet that he wanted to do it for them, and second they are a fantastic family. I’ve known them all separately. However, […]

Here’s a challenge to think about something a little different and non traditional. When you choose how you want your wedding day timeline to unfold, you should consider every option available to make your wedding day enjoyable from the moment your eyes open that morning until you leave the reception.  You owe it to yourself and […]

This boy. He’s hilarious. Smart. Full of opinions, but so very sweet and respectful. And he forgets NOTHING. I’m always so excited to see Tucker, and he amazes me every single year with his thinking and his precious personality. He’s used words way bigger than his own body since he was three. I fight to […]

She found him leaned over the bathroom sink, staring down at the two pink lines in disbelief. “What does this mean?” he asked holding the pregnancy test up.   He knew what it meant, but he just needed to hear the words.  She was in shock too, but she couldn’t help but giggle just a little […]

Her big blue eyes have melted my heart for two years. And then her sweet, sweet smile, the way she never backs down from what most little ones would fear. (I’m sure this causes some fear for her mom and dad!) Little Elena is full of life and energy; she’d rather throw a ball than […]

All the Christmases past come to life just inside Gail Reeder’s front door.  It feels like the fast paced world goes away as soon as your eyes begin to take in how life might have looked more than 100 years ago.  The greenery and berries, Santas and stockings, and old ornaments on the tree create […]
