spring has been coming rather late this year. we're finally getting some leaves and the grass is so green!

The Snyder Family

I love this amazing family. The moved to North Carolina just after I took their pictures last year, but they've become such good friends and I've visited them since. I just returned from a trip there and had a very enjoyable time swimming in their pool and playing with the kiddos! Can't wait to see them again.

Parris Island, round two!

Some of you will remember my post back in November about my trip to Parris Island. I have one brother who graduated then and I'm back here now for my second brother's graduation!

I'm so proud of him!

(And. After several trips south, I want to move here!! Also, stay tuned for more baby pictures and senior shots when I return from the south!)

the P twins!

Just a quick teaser. These twins are the latest addition to this wonderful family! More coming soon!

Welcome!

I've updated my site and changed a few things! I switched serves as I was generally unhappy with the comment system at Tumblr. In addition, they always seemed to be having technical issues and that's not cool when you're a photographer and want to show people your work. Not all of my images transferred over, so bear with me. I also have about a dozen other NEW shoots to blog, and I'm excited!

Kim and Cathy!

Thanksgiving!

This Thanksgiving has taken on a completely new meaning for me. My brother finally graduated from Marine boot camp yesterday, after being away since August. He has changed so much (that's probably an understatement), but it's wonderful to see. I am so proud of him!

My other brother, Josh (pictured below in the camo-colored hoodie) also leaves for Marine boot camp in just a few weeks. This thanksgiving, I am so thankful to God that He has blessed me with a wonderful family and that we can spend the holiday together, because we are growing up and being together won't always be possible.

What are you thankful for?

Other things I am thankful for?

-God (but I think that's a given)

-the fact that it's Thanksgiving and tomorrow, I can listen to Christmas music without being teased.

-that school is nearly over.

-wonderful friends.

-photography!

Yes, I'm still here!

I sincerely apologize for disappearing once again. It seems to be normal for me these days. I'm currently in North Carolina and am headed to South Carolina for my brother's graduation from Marine boot camp.

Fall ended weeks ago in Michigan, but it's in full swing here in the south. LOVE the fact that I'm living through two autumn seasons. North Carolina is absolutely beautiful! I will be sure to share lots of pictures when I return!

Kim and Cath teaser!

This afternoon, I had the honor of taking pictures of Kim and Cath of Kim 'n Cath Bags. They make the most fantastic unique purses and bags and are such fun! They are about to be featured in two prominent magazines. In addition to taking new website pictures, I also took photos of Kim's sewing studio; all of which will appear in both magazines. I'm just as excited as they are :)

More fall photos (and an update)!

I apologize for the lack of posts recently! October is always a busy month for me and I have a hard time keeping up on sleep even! I plan on returning emails, answering questions and posting more photos within the next month or two. Please bear with me!

School has been going wonderfully. I am just finishing up midterms, which is a relief! I'm excited because in 29 days, my brother graduates from boot camp! He was able to call home (rare) the other day because he won an obstacle course competition. He is also a squad leader, which means added responsibility. Although boot camp is very hard, he's doing well!
