My dog likes to sleep. In my bed. Under the covers. I think half of the photos on my iPhone are of Essie snoozing because... well, she just looks so peaceful and cuddly and adorable - I simply can't help myself. I text photos of Essie sleeping to my sister who shows her daughter, Chloe, [...]
"39 Weeks" My niece's first birthday is on Wednesday and it's so crazy to think that a year ago my sister looked like this! In my opinion, pregnancy photos can turn cheesy and awkward really quickly if they aren't done correctly so I was hesitant to take Lizzy's portrait in this state. But she and [...]
"Miraflores Sunset" My first day in Peru was spent just like all subsequent days would be spent: walking. Katie and I had a day in Lima before heading to Cusco and we spent it in the affluent area that surround our hostel, Miraflores. We meandered through the streets, admired the lovely waterfront, ate lunch at [...]
"Exploring Q'enqo" Emily, Katie and I were the first of our group to arrive in Peru. While waiting for our fellow trekkers we opted to take a day hike near Cusco to warm up our hiking muscles and acclimatize our sea level lungs. The three of us along with Danelle, our new friend, loaded into [...]

This photograph was taken during my first trip to Kenya in 2006. I was on safari at Amboseli National Park and became obsessed with this gorgeous acacia tree [...]
"Fire Thrower" One of the nights in Mexico there was a Fire and Water show on the beach at the resort. We were late in arriving to the show and were seated way in the back of the crowd but that didn't stop me from attempting to capture a few images. The show was very [...]
"A New Day" I have a bunch of sunrise photos from my recent trip to Mexico, but, for whatever reason, this one keeps catching my eye. It was a windy morning and I repeatedly wiped the salty spray off of my lens as I tinkered around with the exposure and composition of my shot. I [...]
