Confirmation – COVID-19 Style & Bad Lighting
What a strange year this has been for all of us. COVID-19 has changed the way we live and do things, and it seems that it's not going away anytime soon. So, our church decided to go ahead and confirm this latest groups of confirmands the best way they could, and I was...
My 3 Favorite Allen Eagles
I was recently asked to do a photo session for 3 Allen Eagle seniors who needed pictures for a football program. Wow! I was pretty excited about this adventure, as it was something new. I've photographed many seniors before, but never a group of them together, and...
A Very Special Graduation Session…
I had the privilege last week to take a few photos for a wonderful family! It was so exciting, because this mom of 3 wonderful children had received her diploma from Collin College in Plano! What an accomplishment. It was such a happy occasion, and we were able to...
A Field Trip to See the Blue Angels Fly Over Allen
This morning we were a bit late to "school," because we decided to go on a little field trip! What a great decision! We've all been trapped inside our homes lately due to COVID-19, so having a reason to get out was exciting for us. We were heading out to watch the...

Trick or Treating Does Not Last Forever…So Enjoy It Now (and take pictures)!
Now that I have a middle schooler and a 4th grader, I can see that my time of having cute little Halloween mini photo sessions with them in their costumes is almost over... So very sad. Halloween is not my favorite holiday by any means, but I sure do love the pictures...
To Take Or Not To Take My “Real” Camera to the Fair??
For those of you who know me (and my camera), you know that the decision to head to the State Fair of Texas without my camera was not made lightly. Blackjack, my Sony A7rIII, comes with me almost everywhere. If I'm not carrying him around my neck, he's probably tucked...
