Inspire Me Beautiful

I have been so inspired and transformed by the women I have photographed. It struck me that although I can make you look beautiful in images your true beauty has been planted and uplifted but so many people in your life.

 I wish we would all take the time to sit and look in the mirror and reflect upon how many people have influenced our paths, touched our lives, and spoke to our souls. I wanted to give you a chance to thank those who have given you grace, hope, persistence, a fighting spirit, and many other qualities that shine through in a beautiful image.

This was a beautiful family generation shoot. What a gift to have images with your great grandmother. I can only wish that I had that chance. I can only wish I could give my girls that gift. I loved this shoot. I loved letting these women love on each other. I loved how sweet they were and how excited they were about this time they had together. 

One of my favorite shots is the one of the three girls looking up over my head. If only I had a pull back... those smiles were for their grandmother and great grandmother who were standing behind me. Kids give the truest smiles when they looking at someone who loves them!

Sassy Lady

Amanda was so fun to shoot. She is so beautiful and sexy. I love her hair and her smile!

Who I am...

I am a strong women. I am beautiful. I am funny. I am young. I am here. I am healthy. I am Jennifer.

These three images are so important for me. Jennifer was diagnosed with cancer and beat it in her thirties! This shoot was as much about her as it was the people who supported her and loved her. Her aunt and her best friend. Her best friend was killed in an accident and couldn't see her so he was with her in spirit.

BoHo Chic Beauty

What is modern beauty? I think glamour is back. Well... did looking good and feeling good ever go out of style? This was such a beautiful shoot for me. Obviously my model Jenny is awesomely beautiful. What I saw though was something more than just a pretty face. Jenny is one of the coolest women I have had a chance to photograph. She was so down to earth and unaware of how beautiful she is. I loved doing shoots like these. The woods were perfect for the look we were going for and can you believe the outfits Jenny brought? They were her mom's that her mom made back in the day. They looks right off the rack from a cool store today. Thanks Jenny for romping in the wood with me and being so cool to photograph.

To me this is one of the prettiest photographs I have ever taken. I loved the lighting, the location, and obviously Jenny is super pretty.
