Welcome.....

Where to start, where to start...that is the question!!

I have NO idea...is the answer!!

(But, I'm going to give it a valiant effort!)

As you can tell, this blogging thing is brand, spankin' new to me! But, when I seen some other photographers with a blog, it seemed like the perfect fit. I felt like Cinderella finding her glass slipper! First of all, it was a whole lot easier than registering a domain & designing a web page. Secondly, at least for me, it was easier than using myspace. However, the thing that really intrigued me was that I could post my thoughts, & my latest portrait settings at the same place, & people would actually enjoy looking at them, & hopefully come back for more!

My passion for photography started several years back after the birth of my oldest child, Brady. Brady is almost 10 now, & he has two beautiful sisters, Averee, 6, & Reece, 18 months. While Brady is not really a picture taking kind of kid, as you will see in the photos I will post, my daughters definitely are!! Actually people would probably say Averee is a "ham".

Although I am "new" at portrait settings, people (family, friends & strangers alike) have commented on my photos for years. Over the past year, give or take, many of these people started asking where I had them done, so they could also have theirs taken.

Finally, it hit me --- like a ton of bricks!!

I can offer this gift to other people!!!! I can actually take the visions and thoughts in my head and photograph other families & events. Then these people will be able to have a memory they can cherish for a lifetime. These shots will be candid moments that define your day or event & beautiful moments you'll never forget. I want to make your moments last more than just a day, I want them to last a lifetime. When children have grown & leave for school or a career, or when the craziness of that special day is a distant memory, I hope my photos will remind each person of the exact moment they shared in the photo. They will look back, & be thankful they have a photo to remind them of..."Moments Like These"

Because "Moments Like These" are once in a lifetime!
