Eating chocolate chips straight out of the bag...basically all day everyday.
Why didn’t I choose a camera or something related to photography for my logo? Well, that is a story I would love to tell you.
Growing up I would watch my great-grandma Emmie do amazing things. She would sew and create things and she was so fun to be with. My mom told me that Emmie never thought to herself, “Oh, I can’t do that!” She just did it…whatever it was. She had her own sewing business for decades and her favorite flowers were poppy flowers (the "oranger" the better).
I want to be like her.
Poppy flowers are also special to me because of my incredible grandpa. We call him Poppy. There isn’t much I can say about him without tearing up but I will tell you this… Not only did he love the Lord with his whole heart he loved his football players. He was a high school football coach for over 50 years and the positive impact he had on so many lives is immeasurable.
I want to be like him.
So because of these amazing Godly people I chose to have my logo be a Poppy flower and honor the legacy of those who have come before me. Living by their example, never giving up, and loving Jesus with my whole heart.

So what's in a logo anyway?
let me tell you why its so special
to me and my business
Solei Deo Gloria
In this day and age I find peace knowing that Jesus saved me when He died for me on the cross.
This is a huge factor in my life and has made me who I am today. My photography business is influenced by this. The choices I make in my daily life revolve around giving God glory for all.
I am a safe place if you ever want to talk about Him.
Jesus & Faith
God has blessed me with an amazing family. I work hard for my husband and my children (picture of the cuteness).
I believe that teaching my children in our home is invaluable.
I strive to create a peaceful, welcoming and God honoring atmosphere in my home everyday. I fail at this more often then I'm proud of!
Family & Home
I was once told that my images were so beautiful I was thought to be stuck up and fake. To my relief I was also told this could not be further from the truth!
I am proud of my beautiful body of work but lets be real Friend, I spend most of my days in my sweat pants with a pile of dishes in my sink!
