Wildflower Workshop {flowers and girls}

What you think,

you become.

What you feel, 

you attract.

What you imagine,

you create.

beautiful gardens with delightful little girls who are happy to pick flowers from their momma's garden...I want to capture sessions like this always...full of childhood, imperfections and love. 

As I sit here working it is snowing and cold outside and I am dreaming of spring and summer sessions...I hope you too are thinking of planting gardens full of beautiful flowers and nourishing vegetables. I would love to capture your family during this time and these relationships as your children grow...oh spring hurry up!~

beautiful gardens...still picking Kale in October wish our growing season was as long as the Pacific North West.

The beautiful Prouty children enjoying some last moments at their Washington home before the family moved to Texas. Grace, Clementine and Mabel are the sweetest sisters full of love for their sweet animals. 

Wildflower Photography {family session}

sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory...thanks to this family for allowing us to share their family and learn from Joy Prouty as we watched her "work" and capture the love between this amazing family of 6. 

*don't wait till they are all grown up...get together and in photos with your children. Get in the shot!~ Call me today to book your spring/summer session. Lets capture what your family loves to do together... gardening, baking, playing etc.

Wildflower workshop {Wildflower friends}

Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see greatness within you, even when you don't see it yourself. 

thanks for the memories...xo

{Wildflowers Photography} workshop

The beautiful and creative soul Joy Prouty didn't disappoint. I arrived dry and needing some inspiration and creative freedom to get back the basics of why I need a creative outlet. It is like air to me...

Big thanks to Joy and her hubby Donny who opened their home and family to all us...it was a pleasure to be part of so many wildflowers journeys. I have been delayed in blogging about this whole experience its like a little secret that I hold in my heart and I don't want the chapter to end. Instead I feel energized and ready to set the new year in motion with creativity and heart. I will share some images from this lovely weekend in Washington.

{"i want to be the open arms for women who are looking to breathe new life into their photographs. i want you to be reminded of the simple and soulful reason you first fell in love with photography. it is my hope that a safe, honest environment is created at my workshops for women to grow professionally, creatively, technically & spiritually while also leaving with fresh tools to run their businesses from the heart. the specifics of what is covered in some of the instruction portion of the workshop is available below. but for me, it goes far beyond just “logistical” instruction… it’s a soul getaway. in this industry it sometimes can feel as though we walk alone, a flame trying to stay lit within a storm, but together the fires of creation burn wild and free; it can be intoxicating! something happens when women gather that stirs the soul. i think oftentimes attendees arrive dry and simply just wanting more. out of life and the art of photo taking and quietly hoping for someone to perhaps give them the permission to do that one amazing thing that they never thought they’d be brave enough to do. i yearn to peel the layers off together, uncovering the deep well that can quench that longing thirst long after we part."} ~Joy Prouty
