Jax Shoot Club – at the beach

So, I was finally able to join one of the Jax Shoot Club’s shoot outs.  I’ve been trying to the past two times but the time and distance made it impossible.  Luckily they decided to meet at the beach so I could squeeze it in.  We were hoping for bright sun to get some practice [...]

Rachel-the yogi

Rachel & I have been best buds for a LONG LONG LONG time.  We were children jumping on the trampoline and swimming in the pool.  We were high schoolers on our way to Alaska for an adventure.  Now we’re adults embarking on a new journey of being our own bosses and doing the things we [...]

an update

Saturday, after a session with one of the most beautiful baby girls God has ever created I settled in to finish up some editing, download Snow Leopard, and get started on the session from the a.m. before an afternoon session.  All was going well.  Edit – check.  Oh, I think I’ll go ahead and back [...]

Spread Some Love in Jax

Okay, some of you might know my story by now.  I was the associate photographer for my dear friend, Naomi Williams, for 3 years.  I loved working for her and consider myself abundantly blessed to have had the opportunity to do so.  If you keep up with my blog at all you’ll remember that Naomi [...]

Warren – A Senior?

I remember where I was and the fact that I had a ridiculous Santa hat on when I first met Warren.  OK, so I was 12 and he was a new born.  Oh my gosh, I think I just told how old I am.  Anyway, back to Warren.  Warren is definitely not the same little [...]

Sean & Virginia – In Love

Sean and Virginia have quite the love story.  They met and were married in less than a year.   I know you must be thinking…WOW!  That’s fast.  But, when you know you know and when you’ve leaned on God and trusted Him to find the best for you, you get the best so why wait?
Their [...]

Marathon Mom – a.k.a JoHanna

JoHanna and I have known each other since we were quite small.  We went to school and church together for a few years and of course played together. I’m not sure I was always a very good influence on JoHanna, especially when we home schooled together.  She was (still is) one smart cookie and I [...]

Vella – bean

Joel, Hannah, and Rachel (brother and sisters) all got married in the same summer just months apart.  Rachel is one of my dearest and best friends, but Joel is the oldest and therefore he and his wife had the first baby.  Little Vella is an angel but she decided to come a bit early.  Shelly, [...]

Melissa is a Senior

It rained Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  Melissa asked if it was always like this in Florida.  Unfortunately, during July and August, yes!  I guess it’s not like that in Chicago but then again isn’t that the “windy city”?  So, Melissa and her family made the trip down to Jax for vacation and she decided to [...]

Blast From the Past & Her Little Boy

We ran into each other earlier this year outside JoAnn’s.  It was like the 15 to 20 years had never passed.  It was so comfortable catching up and sharing the latest news.  She’s married now and her little boy continued to play (quietly and not so quietly) while we flapped our lips.  Well, the friendship [...]
