Good conversations over good coffee make the world a better place. Road trips and exploring small towns makes my heart happy. One of my favorite parts of the drive is always the "rural revivals"- where the main street is full of little shops and hometown restaurants. I like the simple things in life.

That's why I'm here. I'm here to document the little things, the emotion, laughter, quiet in-between moments, sweet kisses, loving glances, and photograph the real, not just the pretty and perfect. The details are important, but the people around you are so even more. So what that your kiddo has a bruise on his forehead from the goose egg he earned climbing too high. Get the photos taken, you'll look back and laugh, thanking God that he didn't end up in the ER for that stunt. What? You're not the size you want to be? Me neither. But our babies still derserve photos with their mama. They love you no matter and will always know how much you love them.

Life is short. Memories fade, loved ones pass, and the days that seem long end up being very short in hindsite. That's why photos are so important. I treasure the images I have that remind me of how tiny my baby actually was, those terrible selfies of Steven and I when we were just starting our lives together, photos of my mom being Gigi to my babies, photos of my Grandma from a time that I didn't know her, photos of my kiddos out in the field taking turns riding in the combine with my husband, shots of my babies with dirt on their face playing in the yard... all of them. They make me smile. They bring me joy. They help me remember what was, espiecially with this sleep deprived mama brain I have going on.

Let's preserve a little peice of your story.
