I Heart Faces | Play-Dana Suggs

“Take a pi-cher of me!” I hear those words a lot around my house. My kids are accustomed to seeing my camera and having it in their faces all the time. Especially Brooklyn who literally has grown up with it, and everyone is familiar with her face because I use her for almost every photography [...]

Always believe

I have 2 very amazing girls. They are full of life and love and joy and shoes. (Life always comes back to a good pair of shoes.) And they believe in fairies. Life is short and childhood is even shorter believe in fairies and sparkles and glitter and joy in the little things. But never [...]

Changes in the air

We are 28 days into the adoption of our 3 foster children. It’s been a great month! It’s been an amazing road we have traveled these last 18 months with them. Some days were hard and I’m not sure how everyone survived, much less ate, bathed, slept, or had clean clothes to wear! Going from [...]

I Heart Faces | Framed

This month’s photo challenge theme is “FRAMED” I didn’t want to go with the obvious “framing” using a portrait frame. I wanted to use natural framing.

(I’ll cover that in another post) But the one piece of advice I wish I could give ALL of my clients, past, present, and future is this: Prepare your children and [...]

I Heart Faces | Friendship

I was asked to travel to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, to photograph a set of twins and their best friend. How in the WORLD could I turn that down? It was more fun than I could EVER express! The girls were GORGEOUS and they were a TON of fun! I’m not actually sure how we got [...]
