I’m coming to grips with the fact that there is

I’m coming to grips with the fact that there is a cap and gown hanging in my laundry room. I’ve got all the feels. Who’s ready to show em off?!

Ok so.. editing this week has been HARD. My eyes get all misty looking at this group, remembering how much they’ve been through and trying to fathom that this is their last show all together. It has been my joy and pleasure to capture these shining moments since the show that started it all in elementary school until this very week as this chapter of their lives comes to a close. Only three more chances to see them folx! @tigardtheatre

Hello and Welcome to another Two Cent Tuesday wher

Hello and Welcome to another Two Cent Tuesday where I give you my unsolicited opinion absolutely free. I haven’t done one of these in a while but we’re back with another episode because I can’t sit by silently.
I am Excruciating Joy because I love people so much it hurts. For me, being KNOWN is the highest form of love. To be accepted for everything you are. And, for me, celebrating people- who they really are- is excruciating. I get so filled with love, and pride, and gratitude of that person that it can feel like I am tearing at the seams. This is why I do what I do. To reflect back to you all the beauty I see in WHO YOU ARE, not just what you look like.
Today, that excruciating pain has a different tone. I am hurting for those who are being told their existence is wrong. For those fellow human siblings who were created in their own unique and wonderful ways who are hurting in this current climate. I am here to let you know that though my love is not loud, it is BOLD and TRUE. I am here to sit with you in the dark. And I am here to walk with you back into the light when you are ready. I am here to celebrate who you are. I am here to show off and celebrate the incandescent kaleidoscope of human existence because it is GLORIOUS. YOU, my friend, are GLORIOUS.
A quote from my favorite book hangs above my desk. I hope it speaks to you the way it does for me in all my own weirdo glory.

The holidays are wrapping up and 2025 is jumping down my throat so I guess it’s time to get a bit of work done. Ta-da! Fresh updates for the new year! What are you all working on?

#2024 was a full year! Thank you all for supportin

#2024 was a full year! Thank you all for supporting my small business and allowing me to spend time with my family. I’m so grateful for being able to be with my kids as much as possible during these amazing seasons of their lives. It’s why I love helping you all celebrate too! Here’s to new things in 2025!

Still wondering what to get the woman who does all

Still wondering what to get the woman who does all the things for all the people? Well look no further. As a mom of 4+ kids at various stages of life I can confidently say that capturing the memories and bottling them up is at the top of the list for anyone who cherishes the people in their life. A gift certificate under the tree, a session scheduled around Mother’s Day, and a photo album of it all for her birthday. Rinse and repeat every year and you’ll be favorite gift champion for all time.
