The Captivated Frame Photography

It's been a minute since I've posted here, roughly five years.
Why the absence? Life presented a lot of twists and turns- some terrible, some pretty great.
During my absence, my family of seven moved about four times and experienced being without permanent housing for a short while. Our most recent move this spring was into our own home. It's a great feeling!
One of our moves was to Tennessee for my husband's employment. Our move to TN also opened the door for me to once again become a full-time college student and finally achieve my long-held goal of earning my Bachelor's degree. I dropped everything, including portraits, in pursuit of my degree. I am now the grateful holder of a B.A. in Communication, specifically Public Relations.
I've kept myself busy photographing events and working to create an image catalog for a local historic church.
Now, I have time once again for some portraits. :)

(This post would not be right without a photo, so here's where I spent many hours completing my degree.)

P.S. My website was infected with a trojan and was destroyed while I was in school. Reconstructing it will be a work in progress for a while.

From our family to yours!

The professional photographer's life is not spent primarily taking photos! Data management is a huge part of the equation in order to keep your memories safe. :) (And no, this isn't all of them!)

One thing I always try to do during family sessions is to take some images of just mom and dad. I want to celebrate that before they were "mom and dad" they were friends and lovers. Often one parent is in pictures with the children while the other is the one taking the photo. It is my firm belief that spouses deserve the gift of professional photos taken together as they represent the foundation of love that formed their family.
