Backroad Adventures

Hello and welcome new and old friends and followers. I hope you are all having a wonderful day. If you are not, I do hope your day grows better. I for one and busy and keeping my head held high while always trying to stay positive.

Today I bring you backroad adventures with a camera in hand and some music turned up to release some stress through some photographs! I love driving back roads and getting lost looking for old buildings. The houses that show the wear and tear that the weather and nature have had on them. There is just something about staring at how beautiful nature can be and how sad it can be at times to see these beautiful buildings torn apart by the world around them. At times I have looked into the history the location has to offer as well as last reported owners to see if it was a fluke or was it a location that they were handing down through generations that was lost in the mix of this hectic life we all live in. Or was it just not worth upgrading to the plumbing and electricity that our world now uses in these households. Through it all I have learned to love the views I come across and respect the wonders of the world around.

I find the best stress relieve some days is to just drive around and get lost on these roads in hopes to find old buildings, barns, or farmhouses that have been left to the outside world. I have learned that it is not worth sharing locations due to there are people that feel the need to go and destroy the beautiful sights. I plan to expand this post in the future with updated photos and info on exploring these locations.


I hope you all have a wonderful Monday evening. Do you like to explore these locations?

Tips For Garden Photos

Hello and welcome back friends and followers.


Today I am thankful for the love that I have received over the years while sharing my photos. I am working on getting back into being more consistent and booking more shoots to share more joy amongst the life I have created. Today I would like to share some garden photography tips with you. 

When I am in my garden I love to have my camera along to photograph new blooms I come across and the plants I enjoy most in my own yard. Here are some tips that I have found useful when creating photos in the garden.


  1. I always water a couple hours before I photograph

  2. Pick off any dead leaves/flowers

  3. Set a base photo setting if your using manual

  4. Use a tripod to steady the photo if your capturing Bees on the flowers

  5. Have fun


I do find that last step the most important. Enjoy your garden while you photograph it. Have fun with different angles of the blooms and plants. I do hope you all find time to enjoy the outdoors before fall sets fully in! Go reconnect with nature and breathe in the outdoors!

It is a beautiful week here in Wisconsin. Time to strap in and get editing photos. I do tend to use my airpods while editing to drown out any unwanted noises around me seeing as I do like to edit on my lunch hour at work, or even out on my deck while enjoying my yard.

Photo Life Updates

Good Morning Everyone, 


Welcome back if you’ve been here before, if you’re new Thank you so much for coming by! How is everyone doing out there?


Life has a crazy way of changing constantly. I would not change this though. It brings new opportunities to grow and better yourself and everyone around you. I have been somewhat MIA over the last couple years on my website which is a decision I did not fully think about and I have been just working and catching up on a lot of old work that I have put to the side lately. 


I have so many old sets I can not wait to share in the coming weeks with my followers and friends. I will be announcing some mini shoots that I am working on planning here shortly and open up some booking for appointments of all kinds. I have been working on my photo booth updating and prop lists to update my album and move towards planning more events and outings with it being available for booking.


What is your favorite thing to photograph if you take photographs?


I hope you all have a great weekend and start your August off right!

Animal Photography

Hey Everyone! Thank you for being here if you’re new, and welcome back if you’ve been here before!

I love photographing Animals. They can be super unpredictable and funny. Every single time I’ve captured a moment of an animal being funny or looking like they know what you’re doing is a very cool feeling. There are so many different things you can photograph in life. So much to learn and so much to play with. Photographing Animals are pretty high up on my list of things to capture.

Every animal in this carousel of photos below are from a small zoo in Kentucky I believe. On a weekend vacation last year I had the chance to visit all of these animals and capture some photos while I was there. Today I just wanted to show off a few of these photos as a Sunday Funday. A short sweet and to the point blog for the day.

What is your favorite animal and why? Let me know down below.
