A Few of My Favorite Things
Holiday Gift Ideas to Help the Podcast The pursuit of finding the perfect camera gear, clothing, and accessories can seem never ending, so I’ve created a list of a few things that I have liked and used over the last few years. I tried to create a price range from the smallest of stocking stuffers…

Frustrated with Wildlife Photography
5 Ways I Turned My Mindset Around I’m home from a week in Grand Teton National Park, and I have to admit something. Mid-way through my trip I was a grouch. Wildlife and sleep were elusive, the solo driving was endless, and I left the park many days firing only a few shots. I felt…
Wildlife Photography Woes
Learning to Take it Mile by Mile I don’t know about you, but I certainly have my “depths of despair” moments (cue Anne of Green Gables here for the dramatics) in wildlife photography. It seems that every first day of a trip I am certain I will NEVER find another creature again, and I certainly…
Creative Foundations
Do other creative avenues make us better at our craft? I wrote a book once. It took me 5 years with stops and starts, and the work was maddening and glorious. For the past 4 years, the chapters have sat stacked in a desk I still use from childhood, and honestly I rarely think about…

Her mom reached out to me two months in advance to schedule her Purdue grad session, and then we began planning. During Kaitlyn’s virtual consultation I learned that she…
Alaina & Matt’s Purdue Grad Session
Wow, what a busy college grad season it was this spring! I photographed so many wonderful Purdue and Ball State seniors, and as always I count it a privilege to capture their grad photos! A couple of those grads were Alaina and Matt! Alaina contacted me in April, and we worked together to design a…
Lara & Aaron’s Courthouse Wedding
What an honor to capture Lara and Aaron on their wedding day! They had a beautiful June morning for their nuptials at the courthouse. I spent an hour with just the two of them, finding fun spots around the square. We discovered beautiful archways, stairs, and doors to pose in and used Downtown Lafayette as…
Combining a Senior, Family (and Pet) Photo Session!
Christine & her Family in Downtown Lafayette Weather in April can be tricky for photo sessions, but wow, what a beautiful night I had with the Habib family for their shoot! No shivers, no rain, no need for coats – it was awesome! Suzy contacted me initially because they wanted family photos before their daughter…
