Allen Family

“Loved you then, love you still, always have, always will.”

I love going to the Asheville Arboretum for family portraits because of its relaxed feel and gorgeous views. Prior to this session, I had only gone to the Arboretum during the week and each time was pleasantly surprised to find that my clients and I were some of the few people there. I was pushing my luck to think the same thing would happen for this beautiful family’s session. When I pulled into the parking lot the entire thing was packed! There were people everywhere!  I was so worried that there were simply going to be too many people to take the photos I had planned for. I said a few nervous prayers and walked in to do my best. Once again, God provided and despite the number of people the Arboretum did not disappoint! We had a wonderful time basking in the sun and laughing throughout the session. I can honestly say that all of my clients are so much fun to work with but these kids were such a riot! They kept us laughing the entire time!

Duncan Family Session

Tons of fun was had at the Asheville Arboretum during this session and somehow we managed to have the place to ourselves! It was a gorgeous evening filled with sunlight and laughter.

The most treasured heirlooms are the sweet memories of family.

The Release of Knowledge | Fine Art Photo

I haven’t talked about it much but in October I had the incredible opportunity to attend a 3-day photography convention hosted by none of than Brooke Shaden… the awe-inspiring artist who is the entire reason I began expressing myself through conceptual photography. To say that I was thrilled would have been the understatement of the century. For months it was all I could think about, I was completely consumed by the idea of being surrounded by so many other creatives like myself.

The weekend of the convention came and it was so much better than my mind could have prepared me for. I met friends who I connected with on a level unlike any other and heard testimonies from artists that still bring tears to my eyes. The entire weekend was one filled with love, laughter, and learning… so. much. learning. I learned things about photography, things about life, and most importantly things about myself. It’s been two months since I took that trip and I’m still sifting through the tides of information that met me there.

I created the image above during the second night of the convention. The subject is a dear friend and fellow photographer who represents the embodiment of knowledge and how often times it can be both beautiful and chaotic.
