I decided to offer a brand new engagement guestbook to my all my awesome clients! Still features tons of gorgeous engagement pics of each couple who purchases it, but it’s also BIGGER and filled with LOVE QUOTES! Because yes, I’m a romantic sap and how sweet is it to read lovely well wishes next to love quotes?



Mitchell’s Salon and Day Spa loved the photo I took of Leigh’s hair so much that asked to use it in their latest Venue Magazine ad… how could I say no?

Please check out this lovely June wedding!!!



I’m SO excited to introduce Bluebird’s new look! After seven lovely years with my very first logo, I decided that it was time to mirror the new chapter in my life with a whole new look to Bluebird. I wanted something that better reflected the type of work that I do along with my personality…. charming, intimate, relaxed, artistic with a dash of spunky.
One thing I’m very proud of is that I’ve incorporated the china pattern that Bluebird is named for…
I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to Kristen from Poeme, who worked her magic for me.
I hope you enjoy the new logo, blog and facebook page as much as I do!!

I have known Kelsee for years and she is such an amazing young woman. When I left KCD, Inc. to start Bluebird, I hired and trained her to take over my position and I knew she would take it and run with it, doing a much better job than I ever did! She’s always been a huge champion of my business, so it was an honor to photograph her wedding to the just as wonderful Bryan. The love they have for one another is so evident and lovely to witness. Her father actually married them and as a judge he presides over a lot of weddings… he planned it out that his daughter’s wedding was his 1000th!! Enjoy!

Makes me very grateful…. and tired, those two wore me out!! Enjoy!

I thought it might be fun to post some photos of me in action and give you a behind the scenes look into how I “see” photographs… You’ll see my in action, then the resulting image after editing. Enjoy!

I loved this reflection and how Keith was looking at Nicole as she was putting the earrings he gave her as a wedding gift!

I LOVE how they smile at one another!!!

Good old standard posed shot saying, “Hey, we got married!” but with some snap
