Sometimes you have to pivot your plans. That’s what happened with this rainy day photo shoot.

Two weeks ago, I signed up for a class taught by Jasmine Jade for Clickin Moms.  The name of the class was “Her Empowering Journey”.  I was drawn to the class because of its name.  Over the last several months, I’ve come to realize that my niche is photographing women, and celebrating their individuality.   When I read the class description, I […]

My mother-in-law is an amazing person, and I’m blessed to have such a wonderful friend.  She moved in with us in June to help out with my husband.  During this time, we’ve cooked great meals, and baked some delicious dishes.  We also share a love for photography.  During this time, we celebrated her birthday, and Mom wanted a birthday […]
