This trip has been SO much fun, but more importantly, I feel like I have walked away with some true friends for life. I know, I know, I'm getting all sappy on you, but seriously. I have had a blast with these women. Whether we are going on adventures, taking crazy photos, or having deep conversations, we have been having the best week ever.
I feel refreshed. Not necessarily in a photography/art/business sense, but in life in general.
Sometimes when you run your own business, you can feel burned out. I currently feel ready to take on the world!
Make sure to check out our fabulously hilarious adventures!!!
And a THANK YOU to Lauren Clark for these first 2 photos!
LOVEe

About a month ago, I photographed Joynoelle's campaign for her new line.
You can all see the first collection we did here!
I absolutely LOVE Joy's clothes. She makes beautiful couture ready to wear and custom dresses + bridal wear and it is always stunning!
Speaking of...Joy's fall fashion show is happening on October 1st!
You have 1 WEEK to BUY YOUR TICKETS!!!!
The event is not one to be missed! In fact, there will be an extra special surprise being shown if you attend that I have been scheming for months!
A special thanks to:
Janell Geason - Makeup
Juut - Hair
All of the lovely assistants that helped!
Here is a photo from our fabulous team! Not everyone is pictured here, but a great shoot doesn't happen without an amazing crew, so THANK YOU ALL!

Of course, we are never shy to be in front of our cameras.
Enjoy!

On a daily basis, I get e-mails, comments, Tweets and Facebook postings asking me questions or leaving the nicest notes of encouragement and thank-you's. It's quite a humbling experience, actually, to think that not only have my images made an impact on my clients, but my words and thoughts have also changed people's lives. I truly have THE greatest job ever!
I saw this posting on Rangefinder's Website for a contest they are hosting for Unsung Heroes. They are currently accepting nominations for the search of 5 Photographers across the country who have made an impact and inspired the people around them!
Now, of course I am ultimately and shamelessly asking for your nomination! (I know, who does that?) It is on my to-do-list in the next 5 years to be published in this industry magazine anyways, BUT, this is a perfect opportunity!
However, with that said, I think it is a fantastic opportunity for all and I hope that you take the time to nominate THE photographer who inspires you!
To nominate your HERO, click HERE!
For all of you who will take the time to send in your nominations, THANK YOU!

Who doesn't love an impromptu portrait session in the rain? World, meet my friend Erin. I actually didn't really have a conversation with this kid until this night. We never really spoke in high school, so while drinking beer at the county fair, I was like....WHY are we not friends? Erin is good shit. I mean, he is one of those guys that is hilarious, fun and full of life! And ladies, in real life, he totally looks like Ryan Reynolds! Uh huh, you know what I'm talking about!
Then below we have the Bielefeldt brothers. These two have been my best friends for years and years and I just love them to bits! They have always been there for me, support me in everything I do and are huge fans, but keep it real for me, for sure.
You may recognize Shawn from his previous shoot with me, yeah, he's kind of a big deal!

The imperfection is what makes it beautiful to me.
I've been meaning to photograph my 90 year old grandmother for a long time. 90 years old. What does that look like? 90 years old. What do you do? 90 years old. What makes you happy?
I can say that at 90 years old, Grandma, as she is known to everyone, is quite the woman. Her favorite past time is entertaining, chatting and playing board games. Taking her photograph was so much fun, because it was definitely the highlight of her day, but it was more than that. It was an opportunity to really document an amazing woman.
