Brayden is 3 Today!

Happy 3rd birthday to my Super awesome son Brayden. I am so lucky to have this little guy in my life, he is super smart, super funny, super strong willed, super handsome and super sweet. I snapped these photos this morning on his way to pre-school.  We had a big party for him on Saturday and he had the time of his life. It is times like this that I just love being a mom, getting to create happy memories for my kids makes me so happy. 

Another reason to hire a Professional Photographer - Professional Editing!

Many people don't really understand what we photographers do after we are finished taking the photos and why it takes SO long to get to see them all! :) When you hire a professional photographer, you are not just hiring them to show up with a nice camera and snap away, you are hiring them for their creative vision and their ability to not only capture moments but create works of art, starring YOU! 


As I was editing this wedding, I thought the image below would be a great visual way to show what we do and why it is so important to invest in hiring a professional to capture your important memories. The first image shows what I started with and then what can be done to the image to take it from good to GREAT! When you get married, you don't see all the other people on the beach, all you see is each other and the beauty of your surroundings. A professional can help you remember your day just the way you felt, like you two were the only ones on the beach, strolling off into the golden sunset.....
