{beautiful 8-year-old}


I had the pleasure of doing a session with this sweet, beautiful, little 8-year-old. It was cold and she was an angel! We had a good time as always and I have to say... she has the cutest baptism invitations ever! :)

I have a passion for photography and art. Just like you, I had to start somewhere. I took classes, attended seminars, traveled out of state to workshops and tradeshows. I now own and operate a successful photography business. I want to pay it forward and help others to increase their knowledge of photography.

Maybe you just want to increase your knowledge, take better pictures of your own kids or maybe you're interested in starting your own photography business someday... come start here. What I don't claim: To be an expert. I do have an extended knowledge of photography and years of experience and training. I would love to share what I have learned along the way with you.


To reserve your spot... please shoot me an email:


Class size will be limited... so there will be time for Q&As.

{This will possibly be my last course until 2012, as my busy photo season begins in April.}

{stunning bride}




Let me introduce, my beautiful baby girl.... Kaitlyn. Okay, yes I'm too young to be her mother, but I was her "Other Mother" since the day she was born. Until my little LoLo was born, Katie and I were the only girls in my family. I can hardly believe she's now getting married! Isn't she stunning?

{las vegas or bust}

Soon I will be going here:



And, it is for work purposes! :) I am getting super excited to spend days learning more and more about photography and gaining inspiration from some of my photographer idols. But.... I'm also getting kind of nervous! Did you know that I have a severe phobia of parking garages? And, being in a parking garage in Las Vegas (without my hot hubby) is probably the ultimate terror for me! Ahhhh.... I hope I can be brave! :)

All my photographer friends.... if you haven't been to WPPI in Vegas before, you should go! The speaker list is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

And, for those of you who are going.... see you in a couple of weeks! Let's rock our cameras and our businesses! Woot Woot!

{do you have your Valentine's day cards yet?}

It's not too late to order Valentine cards. Wallet size or 4x6, perfect for teachers, friends and family. Shoot me an email by Sunday night, to order from your 2010 photo sessions.
My cute little 1st Grader... Tate aka Taterbug! Love him!


My Besties' darling children, Mercedes, Coltrin and Adley. Ahhh.... so cute! What

{yes, I am pretty funny!}


I am laughing right now! Because... I don't know too many people that could get this guy, Mark... nicknamed "GrumpButt", to smile in a family picture. Well.... look at this! This photo makes me smile. And, GrumpButt... I love that you're grumpy. I don't know what I'd do, if you answered the phone and said "Hello" instead of "What do you want?" Hehe. Meet my very dear friends, Angie and Mark and family. More to come.

{st. george, cedar city and mesquite!}
