… in mother culture I am doing something that brings JOY into my life so that I can pour that joy and excitement back out onto my children, onto my husband and bring that spirit of HOPE back into my home.

Motherhood Memories – La Mirada Motherhood Photographer
Last year I was asking mamas who were still nursing if they would like to be in front of my camera and have some memories documented of this time. Macrae is a fellow photographer and homeschooling mama of three precious boys. At the time she was still nursing two of her boys which I think…
A Family Session – La Mirada Family Photographer
I’m very thankful for the people that I’m able to meet because of my profession. I don’t just want you to have cute pictures, I want you to have a fun family outing. I want your kids to know that photo sessions aren’t scary, boring or no fun. You can’t tell but it was during…
2019 Limited
Hi Friends! So life has been very full and busy with baseball and theatre in our family. We also started our 10th year of homeschooling and we are so blessed to be surrounded by amazing families that motivate and encourage our children and us. Real quick, I just wanted to tell you about this year’s…
Learning to See – La Mirada Family Photographer
Home is a privileged place to be. I have struggled with being content while being at home. I was constantly on the go when I had 1 little one, then I had 2 little ones and that didn’t slow me down one bit. Then I had 3 little ones and oh my! I barely left…
A Minimalist Christmas – Gift Ideas

I think a pessimist is someone who says “it’s not going to happen, or won’t happen” (when referring to something good or beneficial). As oppose to a realist who makes a judgement or has an opinion based…
My Photography Journey (Southern California Documentary Family Photographer)
When I was a little girl I would take pictures of my cats. I would pose them on this little wicker end table and use almost a whole roll of film just on them. Then when I was a little older I always took pictures of clouds. Those big fluffy clouds that had pictures in…
Learning to See, a 2018 Project 52 (Southern California Documentary Family Photographer)
I’m finally saying yes to a Project 52 this year! I never committed to one before, I think it’s because in my head I already knew I wouldn’t be able to finish it, so I basically failed before I started. Maybe I have commitment issues… Maybe I just don’t want to be held accountable… Whatever…
Holiday Harvest Boutique
Every year I try to host a boutique to help support local, home based businesses. Don’t you get tired of ordering everything online? I know I do, I’d much rather go and see, touch, try or smell what I’m going to purchase, especially if it’s for a gift. But who has time to do that?…
