Distinctively simple and classic photography for portraits and weddings
Inspired by a color palette that caught my eye, I wanted to put together a inspiration board for Wedding Wednesday this week. I looked around for images that would fit a perfect spring or summer event that was soft but not overly vintage or romantic. It's full of peonies and ruffles and the prettiest shades of violet blue. You just have to see all the pretties I found... … [Read more...]

Around here, the "boys of summer" means baseball starts with practice in March and doesn't end until October. There might be a small break in summer, but in baseball it feels like there is no off season. Batting practice, keeping the skills up, the arms in shape... it goes year round.

I needed to take a moment and do what my heart drives me to do. I needed to capture this moment. … [Read more...]

I've had a busy run on engagement sessions lately. It's definitely the season where the grass is greener, the weather is warmer (too warm already!), and my summer and fall wedding clients are getting engagement sessions done. Not only am I thrilled to share so many of the images with all of you, but also touch on the importance of an engagement session. … [Read more...]
The days and hours have slipped by me once again. Just like the days slipping by on the remaining life of these roses. They were used recently as part of my booth at a local bridal fair, Bliss by Hill City Bride. I'm finally getting the opportunity to blog about them and the image created as part of my weekly journey through 2011. I just couldn't resist their wilting blooms against a palette of warm purple. Enjoy them for yourself! … [Read more...]
It's a little overdue but it's never too late! Last week's image features the one and only Mr. Paisley who was live in concert locally with two great acts to accompany him.
