I love music as much as I love photography. In fact, music was a huge part in my life before the photography bug bit me. When I was a kid I dreamed of being on Broadway in New York. I even went to school to be a high school theater teacher when I decided New York was too far away.My life has ended up different than I imagined, but I have no regrets. I still sing for our Church’s worship team once a month. I also sing really loud in my car. My family even tells me to “keep it quiet” once in awhile.
Just please don’t ask to see those videos of me acting… it’s a scary sight.

Today’s pick is “One Step at a Time” by Jordin Sparks
You can listen here
Lyrics:
Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you’ve always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can’t touch
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you’re gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face and the door keeps slamming
Now you’re feeling more and more frustrated
And you’re getting all kind of impatient waiting
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen when it’s
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
You believe and you doubt
You’re confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you’re gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face and the door keeps slamming
Now you’re feeling more and more frustrated
And you’re getting all kind of impatient waiting
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen when it’s
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
When you can’t wait any longer
But there’s no end in sight
It’s the faith that makes you stronger
The only way we get there
Is one step at a time
Take one step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen when it’s
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen when it’s
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
Baby “G” is one already!!
It seems like yesterday I was doing his newborn photos. He came over for his “smash the cake” session and cracked us up with his anger towards the cake. He was totally fine eating the cake, but at first he didn’t know what to think. The last one on the storyboard is my absolute favorite.
I think it was a very successful cake smashing session. Next week baby G and I are going to do his big boy outdoor photos.
I hope you enjoy the preview!
here’s one of his newborn photos…
“Noonels” is going to be 14 months next week. The other two were fighting so I stole him as my test subject for my new camera.
Yes, I upgraded!
I’m extremely excited about the new possibilities that await. This photo was taken at ISO 1000. For all you non-photographers that means that I was able to take this photo without flash, in very low light. He was sitting on the floor in my kitchen with only the regular overhead light. Very little noise. With my other camera this photo would look bad. I would have chosen to use flash to make for a more pleasing portrait.
What does this all mean, Jenica?
This means that I am now more equipped to handle low lighting situations. I have a whole summer of weddings ahead of me and it’s going to be even better now that this new camera is here.
So yay for new tools!!!
In response to a lot of requests, I’m now introducing mini sessions!
Mini sessions are shorter sessions that only last up to 30 minutes instead of the 1-2 hours I usually spend. Only 10-15 proofs are shown instead 30-40. It’s perfect for a kid session or a quick family portrait. It’s also a great economical way to get custom portraits without spending as much.
For mini sessions you have your choice of either Lake Sacajawea or Willow Grove beach for your session. Mini sessions are only held during the week.
Mini sessions are priced at $40. Please contact me today to schedule your mini session!
*when doing a family mini session, individual photos won’t be taken. For seniors, only one clothing change is allowed.
Check it out!!
