Sneak Peak [Engagement Portraits]

In love. Engagement sessions are always so much fun. I enjoy helping a couple take some time out of their busy wedding planning to enjoy one another.

Congratulations to S and D. Their special day will be here before they know it. I wish them all the best and may their love continue to grow more with each passing year.

Happy 4th of July!

We are a very patriotic family. My checks have the American Flag on them. We hang our flag outside every holiday we can and often just because. Our daughters are in the 4th of July parade and sing patriotic songs. We love our country and are thankful for all the men and women who have fought for us and given us our freedom! I cry when I say The Pledge Of Allegiance.

We live in a great country. I love celebrating the 4th of July and all those who have made it great!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!

Quote of the Day

Ansel Adams in 1930 had been training to become a concert pianist while considering a career as a photographer. He decided, after seeing the photographs by Paul Strand, that "the camera, not the piano, would shape [his] destiny." His mother and aunt both pleaded, "Do not give up the piano! The camera cannot express the human soul!" To which Adams replied, "The camera cannot, but the photographer can."

Quote of the Day

I photograph anything that can be exposed to light. The reason during the twenties that I photographed plants was that I had three children under the age of four to take care of so I was cooped up. I had a garden available and I photographed them indoors.
Later when I was free I did other things.
