Storytelling: Photos that Capture the Heart and Soul

I often refer to myself as a storyteller photographer. But what does it mean? Storytelling is the activity of telling or writing stories. Usually, a story is something written or passed on.

I hadn’t...

    Valentine’s Gifts for New or Expecting Parents.

    Valentine’s Day might have been a day you enjoyed as a couple before the sleepless night, or the stress of family life came along.

And I feel the babies born in the month of December can feel it as well. Finding baby...

          Are Maternity Photos Worth it?

          Pregnancy is one of the most special and meaningful times in our lives, and even if 9 months might feel long, it simply goes by in a flash. During this time our body changes so much and we feel a new life growing inside. We feel every kick, every stretch, every hiccup and we create...
