Memories Portraits {blogged} bio picture

Welcome to my Blog

My specialty is capturing the moments that make our lives so
wonderful. This Blog is intended to be a reflection of my life, both
professional and personal. If you are a new client, friend or family
member, I hope to give you a little peek into who I am through the
images I love. Please feel free to have a look around and drop me a

Life is so full of beauty, I want to capture it... one session at a time.

This little sweetie was in for her third session of her Baby’s First Year Program, and big brother and big sister were so cute to tag along. Andee has such a happy little personality that she didn’t even mind getting a bath for the second time that day. Precious girl!

It’s That Time of Year Again!

Friday, February 26, 2010 at 2:20pm


The bunnies are coming back to Memories, and they’ll be here from March 6th – April 10th! I can hardly believe that this will be my 10th year photographing with bunnies… what a trip! And I am happy to say that this many years later, Easter is a very busy season for me. There’s just nothing sweeter than seeing the wonder and excitement in these kiddos as they hold and play with the bunnies. We’re discounting our session fees by $35 so times will book quickly, especially if you need a Saturday session, so be sure to call us at 357-5800 and schedule yours soon!

Meet Rebecca

Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 5:31pm

I just love this family… I have been photographing Rebecca’s three older sisters for several years now, and they are always a true joy. So, when Mommy called with the news about their newest addition, Rebecca, I was thrilled! This sweet girl was so easy, she made this session a breeze. Baby number four is definitely a keeper!

Elah Turns One!

Saturday, February 6, 2010 at 2:44pm

I can hardly believe that this tiny princess has just celebrated her first birthday! We did her Small Details Session when she was no more than a week old, and now Elah has just finished her Baby’s First Year Program. This girly girl is just as sweet as can be and it has been a pleasure to celebrate her milestones alongside her wonderful family. Happy Birthday, Princess!

I just love this little busybody, I swear I could make a million bucks if we had a video camera in the studio! You should’ve seen me, mommy & daddy all chasing her around to capture these adorable images. She has so much energy, full of expressions, and so very 2. Love her!
