Ok photographers, we all have a photographer that we admire, right? Well, I am writing a research paper and I decided to email Jack Spencer. (His work is amazing and when I met him once before, I was caught off guard and COMPLETELY star st

ruck!) Never expecting a reply....well I just received it!!!!


"I am never sure what to say in these situations. But I suppose that if there is one thing that always comes to mind, it is that you should always be observant of ways to self inspire... to reach a point of not relying on others to inspire your work or affect your work. That means not being affected by what others (including friends) say about your work... neither the good things nor the bad things. You should seek to be the only audience that counts as far as your work is concerned. If you accomplish that, then your work will begin to inspire itself.... you will have found your voice."

Best of luck...

It is crazy that I only have one week in college left! I am confident that I have a solid foundation to grow on! I can't wait to see what God has in store for me!!!

small things

It's the small things in life that make me smile from the inside out.

My heart breaks for those involved in the shooting last night.  What is our world coming to?!?!?!

I love shooting senior portraits! They are so full of life :)

I had a great time with my family celebrating the 4th.  All of the kids were running wild and laugh together.  My brother set off tons on beautiful fire works.  It was a great evening =)

Happy 4th of July...I am thankful to all men and women that served our country and their families! Be safe and have a great day!
