I have been using the Prose custom hair routine for almost four months now and I absolutely love the results from these products. Usually, I am not one to rave about my self care. My product selection is rather simple and minimal, actually, but these products are too good not to share! Having struggled with […]

There was time to stop for hours while we wandered the rocky bluffs and I practiced filming. My creative heart was so happy!

This lovely family of four brought their Au Pair along for their family portrait “mini” session. We spent about twenty perfectly-timed minutes taking photos before it started raining on us. The kids were so relaxed in front of the camera they made my job seem effortless. I let them surprise me with their silly faces and creative poses and they loved it!
