I do not have a favorite color or food. I don't have many favorites, except for music! I love to pick up a camera and capture images and even if there is not a camera around, I will be photographing in my mind. My son cracks me up. My husband makes me smile. My growing womb makes me hopeful and giddy. I am a woman of many joys and interests. I could have the music going all day long and have wild dreams - realistically wild. I love to chew bubblegum and wished the flavor last a lot longer, I guess I am like Violet Beauregarde. I love to stay in shape, but love treats too. Married life is fun and I hope to laugh everyday together and with our children. I tend to stress about things up front and then begin to relax through the process. An underlying passion of mine is drawing, writing, and creating - though I don't ever do much of it. Smiling and laughter is a form of living for me and I hope that it never drifts out of my life... that would be a terribly sad day.

E+K: Wedding

Erin and Karridy were married on a pretty cold January day. In fact it snowed just before I arrived, boo.  I was hoping for some rad snowflake photos! Instead we got NO PRECIPITATION which is always wonderful on a wedding day. They were wonderful, they came out in the cold, because they trusted me and […]

Melanie R I know this is old but just trying to get some inspiration before a wedding tomorrow. Those shots are beautiful and how in the world did you keep Erin from looking “blue” in those indoor pictures up against the glass? As always your color is SPOT on!April 29, 2011 – 11:18 am

Newborn Shoots

So, when I shoot newborns I usually shoot at the family’s home. I have a ton of stuff I bring and honestly it would be easy to shoot at my home, but I’d hate making new mommies get out and about too soon. I bring stuff like: props, blankets, light stands, soft box, umbrella/blash, backdrop […]

Lynn this is great Arden 🙂 I’m starting to love newborn shoots! I’ve been using a bean bag – I wonder if I’ll like using a boppy instead… I like the bean bag, b/c I shape it to how deep I want baby to go into the blanket, but I think I’ll try out a boppy! Tell me where you get some good clamps. I got some Home Depot but I’m too weak to use them! ha!February 13, 2011 – 10:50 am
