Yellow Ribbon Photographers

Hey there!  And Happy Wednesday!  You know I’m fan of celebrating the military holidays on this blog, right?  With Memorial Day weekend just around the corner, I thought it was an appropriate time to share with you a little bit about an organization I recently joined that supports our nation’s military service members.  Our nation’s heroes.

A small organization called Yellow Ribbon Photographers.  All members agree to donate one 1-hour long photo session and some prints to service members about to deploy.  After having gone through a few deployments myself with my Sweet, I know firsthand the power of photographs.  When I feel like the sky is falling and I’m the loneliest girl on the planet, I just look at the candid moment’s Jesie has grabbed of me and John and I’m instantly uplifted.

It’s a bit risky putting this out there in one of the largest military communities around, but I’m willing to take on as many sessions as I possibly can.  If you know anyone about to deploy, please have him or her contact me so I can capture the love shared between his family.

And because posts are better with pictures…

In a time when we are so engaged in war to protect all that our flag stands for, I tend to think of the phrase “love and war” when I see this image.


With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story
