Welcome

Welcome to my little spot on the world wide web, a place that I hope to let you into my world behind the lens. I have fallen head over heels in love with photography. I see it everywhere I go. My mind is always swirling and taking notes. It has become part of who I am. I want to make time stop through my images. Capture the things we just might otherwise forget.

One alley -Baldwin Senior {Lawrence, KS photographer}

Working with a senior boy is so dramatically different than a senior girl. Heck, the difference between boys vs girls starts as early as a newborn session. I love that. It would be very boring if every session was the same.

McKinley couldn't have been more laid back during our session. He had no pre-concieved ideas, no worries about his outfit or his hair. He probably went along with me 30 minutes longer than he wanted but I never knew it. We just walked up and back in an alley downtown behind his moms store. She didn't tag along, she stayed in the store and let us do our thing. But it was a beautiful evening and we had plenty of other company walking by. That in itself is always a little interesting!

Thanks McKinley for hanging with me. Enjoy these last few weeks of High School and best of luck in college!!!

Mother's Day contest - {Lawrence, KS family photographer}

One of the biggest rewards of what I do is meeting wonderful people and creating a gift that will last for years to come. I often see or receive emails from mothers brought to tears when viewing the photos of their children. A time in life captured and frozen to enjoy. But I also know there are so many families out there that I will never meet. So, I wanted to provide an opportunity to a mom and her family, someone who couldn't make this happen on her own. We all have our stories and there are often chapters to our stories that we would not have chosen to write. But each of them helps define who we are and why we are. I have joined together with a couple of other local businesses and we have created a Mothers Day package that is sure to make someone smile!

If you have someone you would like to nominate to receive this great gift please see the details below!


Know a mom who deserves a better Mother's Day than she will probably get? Well, of course all of us deserve a week in the Caribbean sans children and chores, but there are so many moms who never get spoiled, not even a little. Now is your chance to change that. Nominate any mom who fits the description of a hard working, deserving woman and she could win our Mother's Day Package. The package includes:

* A photo session and picture package for her and her family from one of the area's favorite photographers-
( Value $300)

* Hair and make-up on the day of the photo shoot provided by
(Value $150)

* A sterling sliver necklace hand stamped especially for the mother
(Value $50)

Just write a short essay between 100-200 words telling us why this person deserves to win. Entries are due by May 2, 2011.
The winner will be chosen on or before May 6, 2011. The winner must be able to travel to Lawrence and will be notified on or before Mother's Day.

To enter, email your essays to: mothersday11@aol.com or send it to
Dash Salon, 3727 W. 6th Street Suite C, Lawrence, KS 66049
All entries must be received by midnight on May 2, 2011
Must be redeemed by September 1, 2011.

So get out your pens or strike the keys of your computer and nominate a Mother you know that would not only enjoy this gift but humbly receive. I can't wait to read the stories and announce the winner!

Three is the new two - {Lawrence, KS children's photographer}

The moving boxes were not yet unpacked, heck they were barely off the truck! Yet, the mama of this cute face stopped everything to let me capture her daughter, to celebrate being THREE! She contacted me prior to the move and we made the appointment, they just had to get here from Tennessee! Priorities folks, she's got them. Stop and enjoy, the boxes will still be there.
It was chilly on this March morning but she toughed it out and we got some cute shots! Welcome (back ) to Lawrence, I hope we can work together again...maybe when it's a tad warmer!

At least she had this warm and stylish coat to cozy into!
The sweetest curls.
