Custom photography is an investment and I can understand how nervous my clients probably are before a session. Pet photo shoots can (and will) be chaotic and unpredictable. When I meet clients, I excitedly greet their pets first and offer a little “I am going to be your new best friend” treat.  I then remember there are […]

Are you a new parent with 4-legged children already? To help educate others about child and pet safety, I spoke with Emily Coleman, Certified Professional Dog Trainer and owner of Canine Solutions. While there’s no scientific proof, many experts say dogs can sense when their owner is pregnant. Pets don’t understand a new baby will […]

Happy Birthday to my first “baby”! I still remember bringing Remington home at 3 months old. I was in my late 20s, no clue how to care for any living creature and long before I had kids of my own. Every year I am a little more nostalgic and emotional about his birthday because I […]

I am so excited to see my work in print again! Modern Dog magazine, a national publication featured Going with Grace in their Summer 2021 issue. The issue will be in stores around June 8 and online shortly after. I’ve always felt called to focus on this particular service within my photography business. I’m so […]

I am SO thrilled to launch my redesigned website, dedicated to Going with Grace. My heart has pulled me in this direction for so many years. I recently received a request for an emergency session and I swirled with emotions afterwards. It was a further reminder how much people count on me for comfort through […]

Like most photographers, I’ve kept my distance from people and clients which means no photo shoots. Although I only shoot outdoors, I have still been social distancing and refraining from really leaving the house unless it’s an absolute necessity. During this time I am SO thankful for Amazon. If you don’t have an Amazon Prime […]
