Season of the Dragonflies, by Sarah Creech; reviewed and redesigned

Back in February, my book club read this beautiful, mesmerizing book by Sarah Creech, "Season of the Dragonflies." I fell in love with it, and was even more thrilled that as part of our awesome book club meeting we got to have a Skype call WITH Sarah, who is just an awesome person! It was so cool to meet the author and really dig into what HER take on this b[...]

God Bless Us Every One

Victoria called me for the first time only a week ago. The week of Thanksgiving. A week that was already packed so full that going into it I already wanted to take a nap. I missed the call, but LUCKILY she left a voicemail mentioning that she wanted to do a literary mini session, but with the theme "A Christmas Carol" so they could use them as christmas por[...]

A Very Merry Un-Holiday to You!

Meet the Dalton's! Their Styled Literary Portrait Session was oh-so-wonderful in SO many different ways. First off, I think they showed up with more Wonderland themed props than I did (one of which was actually a Doctor Who watch, so bonus awesome points for that!). But more importantly, they are smart, funny, intelligent, creative, loving, and beautiful peo[...]

A Very Haunted Fairy Halloween

                Happy Halloween!!! A few people have pointed out to me today (ok mostly my co workers when I showed up to work in my home made cheshire cat costume) that this particular holiday must be RIGHT up my alley.....and well, they were right. It's my favorite. And this particular going all[...]

Miss Evie in Wonderland

  Little Miss Evie is probably THE most bubbly, enthusiastic, and inquisitive little mind I have ever had the pleasure to know. Having met me only once before (and she probably doesn't even remember it), she immediately gave me a hug when I got out of the car for this shoot. She is just that awesome. And she never stopped asking questions or participat[...]

Meet the Flaherty's

My cousin and her family might actually be the cutest little family there ever was. Playing in the park for their sessions is always SO much fun! And is there anything more precious than these two little girls' smiles?! I think not! Check out the preview of their beautiful family!!

Let the Wild Rumpus Start!

"Inside all of us is a wild thing." Of all the literary portraits, though I love love Alice in Wonderland and The Great Gatsby, Where the Wild Things Are just might be the most FUN. And let me tell you, these boys had so much fun it was contagious! They gnashed their terrible teeth and showed me their terrible claws (and their terrible but oh so adorable mo[...]

Miles and miles of smiles!

      "Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever." There is nothing quite like the boundless energy and brilliant imagination of children. Spending the afternoon chasing after this wild child, creating and capturing the fleeting giggles and perfect little boy attitude, was simply magical! I have been good fri[...]
