greg laswell {music}

If you know me, you know I love music.  And almost just as much as I love music, I  love taking photos of artists at work- especially musicians. This is not the first time our friend Greg Laswell has been featured here on the blog.  You may remember our photos of his show last fall,...

Gail - Thanks for introducing me a few months ago to Greg Jess! I LOVE this music. I love when I can find (or someone helps me to it) an artist who hasn’t hit it HUGE yet and then when he does, can say, “Oh yeah, I knew about him!” I feel like with Greg, that’s DEFINITELY going to be the case. Glad you got to see the show!

happy 5th birthday {to our Riah boy}

Little Riah, Today you turn 5, and I catch my breath.  Where have these years flown?  I look at this picture below, and remember the most sweet pregnancy.  I felt happy, energetic, and at times forgot I was even pregnant.  You would scare me at times with how calm you were.  I wondered during those...

Konul - Happy Birthday precious nephew! Sorry I couldn’t see you today on your birthday but I want you to know that you are on my and Leyla’s thoughts and conversations all the time! See you on Sunday!

Jessie, I can’t believe it was 5 years ago today I met and held him first time in the hospital. Now Riah looks so much like your brother Billy. We have a saying – lucky nephew will look like his uncle but Riah doesn’t need luck – he is one of the most blessed children I know!

I’m uploading cards tonight from some recent shoots and was floored by this image.  Looking at this photo, my heart hurt with sheer joy.  As I began to edit it I realized more and more why I reacted so strongly to this simple photo file…. I am often asked what caused me to get into...

Amanda - Gorgeous, both the writing and the photo! That sums us up too, except we’re not nearly so skille, just that portrait studio situations aren’t us, so we turned to our own camera and trying to capture those everyday moments. Then of course, we upgraded our camera. ;) HAHA. THANKS for sharing!
