  • We are Permanently Closed

    After serving Oak Harbor since 2006, I have closed my doors officially. I am still on Whidbey Island, but no longer offering photography services or learning classes on a regular basis. I am only offering Preschool Portraits for Ms. Ashley's Preschool in the spring.

    Past clients may be able to purchase digital images from their past sessions if they are still available on my archive drives. Contact me for more info.

    If you are a photographer inquiring about the possible purchase of my props and/or backdrops, many of my items are listed on Facebook Marketplace. Feel free to contact me for direct links or to inquire about anything you see in y portraits that you are interested in to see if they are available.

    Thank you for trusting me with your family portraits since 2006. I loved working with you all.

Sorry… We’re Closed

A few years ago I took a “break” from my business. I needed it, and since then I have still struggled with really getting back into it. I juggled around with getting a studio outside of my home. But for reasons not made clear (until recently), it just never worked out. I then limited my session availability due to personal circumstances at home. I tried to balance sessions between deployments, three kids at three difference schools, all involved in different activities as well as my own time volunteering at two different schools along with even more after school activities and weekly appointments. I always thought as my kids got older, I would have more time for more clients. It’s been the opposite. I need more time for my kids. They need more time with me.

I love photography. I loved the business of it. I never struggled with the business side of it. Yes, trends and needs changed in our area, but I would adjust and go on. But because my family has been and is still going through some life-changing events, I have to let it go. I am in a time in my life where I must take one day at a time. Having a business that requires me to plan, market and schedule weeks or months ahead just doesn’t work for me right now.

This have been decision that was not taken lightly. For years, I struggled with letting it go. I spent years building it and it’s hard to let go of something that you put some much love and devotion into. There have been many days full of tears along with the frustration of just not knowing what I should do. But today, I have peace. Peace that this is what I need to do; for myself, for my family. There is a season for everything, and my business was a 12 year season that I loved every minute of. Now it’s time for a new season and I must move with it.

I honestly don’t know if I’ll reopen sometime in the future. At this time, I can only thing about today. I do plan on selling a lot of gear, props, etc. and getting that studio portion of my house back. That is what is important to me right now. I may offer a session here and there, but I can’t & won’t guarantee it. If I ever decide to start offering sessions again, I’ll have to rebuild. Believe it or not, sometimes that’s the best thing to do – start from scratch. So I’ll have to cross that bridge if I ever come to it.

As for now, I don’t even have a computer (this was written a few days ago and set up to be published today). I wrote this prior to turning it in to get diagnostic tests done on it because of the monitor issues I was STILL having. But as soon as I get it back, I will be:

  • Finishing editing and releasing proofs for the OpLove sessions.
  • Fulfilling the portrait order for recent preschool pictures.
  • Taking and fulfilling orders for sessions prior to 2016 that anyone would like to purchase all their digital images from. Contact me for more info.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my business in the last 12 years. I appreciate you all. You’ll still see me around with my camera, but it will be all personal use for quite some time.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me. Until i am caught up with all the editing and orders, my business hours and contact info will remain the same.

Closed until further notice

Due to a deployment homecoming, technical difficulties and other unforeseen situations, I am closed until further notice.

I am doing as much editing as I can, fulfilling and delivering orders, but I am just not able to add any new sessions to my schedule and decided that I need to take a break. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

It’s Okay Buddy – Family Session

This little guy just had me melting. He was very shy and very nervous. He held tightly to mom and although I am not sure if mom, I or he said it first, but each time he would get extra nervous, he would repeat, “It’s okay buddy.” It was the cutest, yet most heart-breaking thing to hear. I just wanted him to just let go and have fun with it all. He did enjoy the different chairs and I did get a few smiles and giggles. But he would have rather just had some fun toys to play with instead of a camera and having to sit and smile. He did so well for being so unsure of it all. I’m sure next time, he’ll notice me and remember that I’m not so bad after all.

Just Have Fun With It – Sibling Session

Mom wanted a variety of formal and fun images. And you know me, I am to please. The first half of the session we used the recent school portrait mini session backdrop to get the “school picture” feel. I kept going back and forth on the second backdrop to use and finally went with white. I have not done a high-key white backdrop in so long that some of my equipment was dusty. Woah! But once I got it all set up and the kids got on my floor, the fun began. The floor I use is one of those that attracts the sliding, twisting and turning. So I just let them go at it. I love the look of that white… I need to use it more often.

Thanks mom for letting us all just do whatever we wanted. I had a lot of fun and the kids were perfect!
