Muncie’s Best Exhibit | Minnetrista

Full disclosure: Minnestrista does pay me to design, but they are not paying me extra for this endorsement :o) I’m not exaggerating when I say that if you have kiddos, this is the best thing going on in Muncie right now. And unfortunately it ends on the 12th. So if you haven’t been to Casey’s...

4 days young | bloomington, indiana newborn photographer

My friend Joanne has the best smile in the world, gives some of the best “you-know-you’re-loved” hugs ever and always, always, always sends encouragement and love my way. She’s like a little angel that I’d love to keep with me all the times. Thankfully I can give back to her in the way of photographs....

happily ever after | muncie, indiana family photographer

It’s been since August since I posted a whole session story, and before that it was March. This has left me with A) An unsettled feeling (my blog is missing huge chunks of sweetness + light) B) An overwhelmed feeling (WHERE do I even begin? HOW do I even begin? Do I even remember how...

wuh = love | muncie, indiana child photographer

Best phrase I can hear at a photo session? “I love you.” Claire, age 4 and  “I wuh you. hello.” Maebel, age 1 And I promise they were talking to me and not my lens (which also received a lot of affection). I love you too sweet sisters.   | help share the love :...

smile maker | muncie, indiana child photographer

The number one way to get a genuine smile from a child (or an adult)? Make them show you their silly faces … and just keep on shooting. You can just call me the smile maker. I’m okay with that ;o)   | help share the love : follow me on facebook | | contact me or...

contentment | muncie, indiana photography

The Caterpillar was the first to speak. ‘What size do you want to be?’ it asked. ‘Oh, I’m not particular as to size,’ Alice hastily replied; ‘only one doesn’t like changing so often, you know.’ ‘I don’t know,’ said the Caterpillar. Alice said nothing: she had never been so much contradicted in her life before,...

solitude | muncie, indiana photography

I wonder what she’s reading? I imagine The Tale of Despereaux as she probably sees her fair share of scampering mice around her little forest. “And now you have a small map of the princess’s heart (hatred, sorrow, kindness, empathy), the heart that she carried inside her as she went down the golden stairs …” [The...

feeling love | muncie, indiana photography

“I love your hand mama,” Lou says to me has he gently interlocks his smooth, tiny fingers into mine. “Do you know why?” he asks. ”Because I met it, and I love it … Hi Handie!” And my first thought was, my hands are always so dry and cold … but all he felt was love....

journalist | muncie, indiana freelance photographer

I’m a journalist at heart. I was the yearbook editor in high school. I went to school for journalism graphics (with the emphasis on writing, editing and design). After years of working as a graphic designer, I am now a photographer with a flare for photo-journalistic style. All to say, I felt my roots yesterday as I...
