I may lose a lot of respect for this next sentence, but here it goes. I love country music. I do. Blame it on my Oklahoma upbringing, if you must. Perhaps its because my dad sang Willie Nelson’s “mama, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys” so much that its just engrained in...

Sleepless…er, Lost in Seattle!
A few weeks ago I had an incredible opportunity to attend Leah Remillet’s GO{4}Pro Workshop in Seattle! Day one started out a little rough on me. I’m what most people would call “directionally challenged” except I’m kind of directionally challenged to the extreme. Especially in a new city. And even more so when on my...
Splish Splash I’m Taking a Bath!
Gabe’s favorite time of the day is bathtime - it always has been. While Kevin’s cleaning up the kitchen from dinner, I grab our dinner-covered Gabe (my hands strategically placed under his armpits, facing away from me, feet dangling) and run him into the bathroom to start up the water).
And for the next 20 minutes...
Long Days & Short Years {Oklahoma City Children Photographer}
“Time stands still best in moments that look suspiciously like ordinary life.” -StoryPeople
I once heard that when you’re a parent the days are long and the years are short. Gabe hasn’t even been around for more than 18 months and I already couldn’t agree more with that statement.
With the temperatures being 100+ outside, we’ve been...

Anybody else find themselves sometimes always cooking dinner like this?
Because I do. A lot.
Please tell me there are others. Please.
My Little “Helper” {Oklahoma City Children Photographer}
While I was vacuuming the house the other day, Gabe decided he should help by standing on the very tips of his toes, grabbing the bag of powdered sugar off of the pantry shelf, turning it upside down and running through the living room at a dead sprint…creating a mini-winter wonderland of powdered sugar for...
The Backyardigan {Oklahoma City Photographer}
Gabe LOVES the water! Scratch that - Gabe loves the hose.
Almost to a fault - in fact, this is his “I-can’t-turn-the-faucet-on-by-myself” fake cry. pathetic.
I wish I could say he sits happily in his pool and plays in the water like a perfect gentleman should…but who am I kidding? He’s a toddler. AND he’s a boy....

I love this new combo: Gabe + Blankie
PS: My apologies for being so absent the last few weeks….Lots of rain plus a sick baby left no shoots to blog. But the rain is gone, the baby is better and there will be LOTS to blog soon! yipee!
The Great Outdoors {Oklahoma City Photographer}
These days Gabe could live outside. (if he’s not outside, then he’s smashed against the door begging to be free.) We go to the park and the zoo every chance we get and I’m so excited to take him swimming this summer!
Of course mean ol’ mom won’t let him out on the rainy days. How...
Art Matters {Oklahoma City Children Photographer}
One thing that I love about Oklahoma City is how well our city supports local artists and small businesses. There are SO many businesses and organizations that really go above and beyond. Organizations such as Okiecreative.com, Plazadistrict.org, Cuppies and Joe, and Legacy Bank are just some that immediately come to mind.
I am honored to be...
