I've been keeping journals since I was in the 3rd grade and I'm so glad to share some of my most intimate life moments with you here!  Here, you'll find inspirational and encouraging stories of me and other broken people like me. We are all jars of clay who have been afflicted in every way, but not crushed...struck down by not destroyed.  Here, you do NOT have the right to remain silent, so as you read, grab your favorite snack and drink and leave a comment...share YOUR story. I can't wait to connect with you in this beautiful safe space. 

welcome to my

journal!

I have been dreaming of shooting someone in the snow since the first time I visited Alaska! Sure it’s cold (like…disrespectfully cold), but I didn’t care!! Shooting in the snow is so….MAGICAL! Surprisingly enough, it’s been a pretty mild winter in Alaska, but Virginia got SLAMMED with snow, bringing my winter wonderland to the east […]

SHE’S THE ONE | LADIES’ PORTRAITS | DESTINATION PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER
