Welcome to Life Stories...

Welcome to My Life's Story! Mine is made up of so many wonderful people-purposfully woven together! Everything we do is with and for each other and I am so glad that you have taken the time to stop by- so grab your favorite cup of coffee and Enjoy!

What I love most: my family, my friends, my son's giggles when he thinks he is getting away with something... great conversation, anything with a good title, bold coffee, anyone with a zest for life, exciting and fresh ideas, anything crafty, getting my hands dirty, dancing in the rain and weddings! (all weddings!)

I am happiest: when I can share what I see through a lens. Just as there are no two people alike, neither are views on life. I strive to uniquely photograph any event or person so their style can easily be seen.

"Life Happens... Picture it Boldly!"

Would love to hear from you~ If you would like to leave a comment feel free or email me at

Our Pumpkins are Turning 3!

Wow! 3 years! It seems so fast most days, unless like me you have experienced the melt down of a 3 yr old. I have been told by more than one person (on too many occasions to count) that boys are easier. HA! But then again, I have never been one to follow a crowd- I have to do everything the more difficult way. Ohhh, so that is where he gets it from... I see it so clealy now. Builds character or something like that??

So this year best buddies Lily (Oct 27) and Ayden (Oct 26) will be celebrating their 3rd birthday with friends and family at a local Pumpkin Patch. We are so excited about this mile stone in their life that we decided to do a mini session with just the kids before the party. (We aren't even going to entertain the idea of trying this the day of the party...) Short story long, as I often warn people, there was a lot of sugar involved this afternoon... So we ask the question, "Did this help or merely add fuel to the ever push-each-other-off-the-pumpkin fire?" Either way, it was worth every moment!

So here is to another incredible year with two amazing kids

Yay! Welcome to the blog world! So nice to know that I inspired you to start a blog too--LOL..I don't know if that's a good thing or not--beware, it can be addicting... ;-)

Love your pictures as always :) Good call on the slides w/o music. I need to edit mine b/c that reggae music is getting old--haha.

Again, welcome and looking forward to see more posts:)
