It’s so easy to get wrapped up in daily life chaos. Working a full time day job, juggling photo shoots after work,  pregnancy, training a new puppy, comforting a terrible twos toddler. The list goes on. But there is nothing like a wake up call when you hear about someone’s tragic loss – especially when […]

Here we are for log #2! I am around 6 months pregnant now and counting down the weeks (OK, minutes) until I am due. I will be 100% honest and say I am not a pleasant pregnant person. I am much more excited to meet our baby boy and experience all things newborn versus carrying […]

By this time in my first pregnancy, I had already written 5 logs about pregnancy. Ha! Oh how times change when you have a toddler, a new puppy and baby #2 on the way. For my own records, I like to document big life journeys so I can always remember these moments as time and […]

Remington – my sweet boy is TEN today! I still remember searching for a puppy and hesitantly making the decision to take him home. I was so scared to be a “parent” and change my routine and life.  I can’t imagine where my life would be without him now. I wouldn’t be a professional pet […]

As I sit down to write this, I don’t want to. Something about typing the words makes it too real. But I don’t want to wait too long or I may forget the little details I want to share. We said goodbye to our beloved Abby on November 24. We knew the day was coming, […]

Take it from me – a professional who’s been photographing pets for over 10 years. It’s hard to get a great shot of your dog unless they are intrinsically wired to sit and stay. Some pets are easier than others depending on their breed, personality and history. Regardless of these factors, I’ve compiled some tips […]
