Years ago when we were first starting our business, we had the continuous feeling of competition amongst other photographers.  It was a battle from within that was overly draining. There were times when it drove me absolutely batty.  In the fall of 2006, I went to a photography conference in LA that gave me a completely different perspective on the idea of competition.  I realized that getting to know other photographers would allow both parties to benefit to some degree.  It may happen at different times, but overall the giving back mentality would definitely apply.

Well, 4+ years later I am so very thankful for the network of photographers that has been established around us.  We have developed friendships that have exceeded outside the walls of our individual businesses.  We encourage one another, support each other and have even grown each others businesses by means of referrals.  I can't even begin to express how thankful I am for how these 4 years have transformed our business in such a positive away.  If you are a new photographer reading this, build a network of other photographers around you.  Whether it be to bounce an idea off of someone or to have some names to refer when you're booked.  It's huge...I promise.  It is always an honor to be referred by another local photographer.  We have our list of referrals to pass on when we are booked as well.  Again, I say...it's huge! ;) 

So, why did I go that direction when I'm supposed to be sharing a newborn session with you?  Well, Jenn and Brian are some of our 'photographer friends' that we have grown close to over the years.  We are thankful for all of the love and support they have given us over the years.  We are hopeful that the feelings have been reciprocated back to them in some form.  And, of course, it truly is a blessing to have friends, who happen to be photographers, who can capture these memorable times.  It was an honor to capture this time for you guys.  Love and hugs to you...    

Thank you for stopping by!
Lifestyle, our passion...that is how we describe what we do.  It's the day to day, remember when, wish I could have been there type of moments.  It's real life captured forever...not only in a photograph, but in your hearts, your minds, your souls.  We truly are thankful for this role God has blessed us with.  We look forward to sharing these moments, along with our journey, in this crazy place called life.

Please use the tabs above to help navigate your way through the blog.  Current clients can find their images under the websites tab.  Over time, I will be sharing moments that inspire us to do what we do.  Feel free to grab some coffee and stay awhile...
