It was a day nine years in the making to be exact. Rebecca first met Dalton when she was eleven. He was in her older sister’s class, and she thought he was cute. Five years later and a drivers license in hand, the two started dating. Five years following, Dalton got down on one knee […]

Well, it’s official. If you are born into the Slate family, you are the inheritor of awesome dimples and a megawatt smile! It’s true!!! Over the years, I have had the privilege of documenting senior portraits for three Slate boys and they ALL have these killer smiles and or dimples for days. I love it! […]

When I was little, I had an imaginary friend. Her name was Teesa. Pronounced like Lisa, but with a “T”. Teesa and I went on all sorts of adventures together. She came on family vacations. She lived in a mint green house and ate dinner with us in the evenings. I’m not sure at what […]

It’s going to be hot today…real hot!!! Temperatures are supposed to hit 109-degrees today, I repeat 109 – yikes!!! I don’t know about you, but when it gets THIS hot, I can get a little…cantankerous.

It was a typical day at work. No makeup, no shower, and smelling a bit like the dairy she had come from, Kayla had just returned to the veterinary clinic from her early morning herd check. I was pretty much a hot mess, she recalls. But with her afternoon appointments looming, she quickly began prepping […]

I ended last week with a post on sweet Savannah, so it seemed fitting to begin this week with another cutie pie that has arrived to town!!!     Meet Ryder Maverick. This sweet little mister made his debut to the world just a few short weeks ago, and was welcomed by his proud new […]

I typically document senior portraits for high school graduates, so I was pumped when I received an email from Katelyn asking me if I could document her senior portraits from Cal Poly State University! Um, yes please!!! Now, I soooo wish I would have done this when I graduated from college!!! What an incredible accomplishment […]

I typically sit a few rows behind them at church. It is always so fun to see Matt and Sarah snuggled together, nestled amongst their little brood of blondies. They make the MOST darling family….EVER!!! Sarah and I chatted about doing family pictures back and forth for a while and finally, a few weeks back, […]
