This is my son. He is the reason I have gained so much patience. He is why my mind is open to understanding others so much more than I ever could have imagined. He is my heart and soulmate. He has autism. It is not who he is, but it is part of how he […]

“Love her but leave her wild”
This is my youngest child. She is a brilliant, complicated, strong-willed beauty. She is a well documented third child. She’s my model and my muse. She sits for pictures and let’s me keep working as she starts to fall apart. She is real. Raw. Bless her!

i heart faces photo challenge | best face 2012
Here’s a little peek at a session with my daughter from December. Our window of opportunity was small because the snow was expected to melt almost as fast as it was falling. When I looked through the camera I was blown away at how old and beautiful she had become! {I HEART FACES} is having a […]
Finley | Leesburg Virginia Photographer (& mommy)
Autism says that it will make it difficult for you to photograph your children. Autism says that it will make it nearly impossible for you to have your child look you in the eyes. This is my son. He is constantly training me to catch those impossible moments.
