WELCOME!
Welcome to my Blog! I will be using this to post sneak peeks from portrait sessions, announcement specials, and to help you get to know me and my photographic style.
In a few words, I am an on-location, natural light, lifestyle photographer. I strive to capture the organic moments of every stage of life. The real moments. The natural interactions. The ones that will evoke emotion, every time you reflect on them.
I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend. I am a photograher and a speech-language pathologist. I am a perfectionist yet still a big kid at heart.
I hope you enjoy your visit enough to add me to your regular blog reads. I also hope that from time to time, you give me some feedback by leaving me a comment.

Step one of my processing always involves uploading the images from my CF card onto my hard drive. I have lots to do and didn't plan on editing any of these images tonight, but while they were loading, this one popped up on my screen and was SCREAMING my name. So, here is just one. There will be more to follow, I promise, but I couldn't wait for this one.
Little Miss Hailee on
Siesta Beach. She is absolutely gorgeous. Look at those eyes, that blond hair and her flirty smile. All at age 3. WOW! Lesa and John, it's good that's she's got two big brothers to help tame the boys. I have a feeling there will be lots of them coming to your door in the future.
At just 6 days old, this little man was absolute perfection! Every little thing about him. He slept perfectly for the first part of our session. When he woke up, he was bright-eyed, and I promise, he was smiling. Not the newborn gas smiles, but real, interactive smiles. Erin and Brian, you have one amazing family. Thank you for allowing me into your home and for the privledge to capture and document your
pregnancy and now the first few days of Tate's life.
Love this one! Caught him, right in the middle of a stretch.
If I didn't know him, I would guess that this is an image of a baby that was 8 weeks old. Look at how alert he is!
Smiling little man!
I have BIG plans in store this year for Fanciful Photography and have been busy working on all of it. I can't wait until it's up and running. In the mean time, this is just one of traditions I hope to keep up with on the blog. I am going reserve Mondays to share pictures and stories about me and my family (hence - "Mine of Monday"). I can't take credit for the idea, there are several photographer friends that have been doing this as well. But, this will encourage me to not only take more pictures of my own family, but also to actually process some of them. It will also be a way for my clients to get to know me a little better.
So, here it is, my very first Mine on Monday. This mini-session didn't go as planned. Somehow, when its with your own kids, they never do. My plan was actually to do Thomas's 3-year pictures, but he wasn't having anything to do with it. I chose not to pick that battle today. So, Caroline was my only other candidate at home, and, since she can't talk back yet, she got the duty today. Sadly though, her reflux has been extraordinarily bad these past couple weeks. Having her flat on her back really doesn't help. Add to that a tired baby, and well, the session lasted about 2 1/2 minutes this morning and 45 seconds this afternoon. Then she turned into a puke factory and we were done!
