Hollingsworth Mini Snow
What an amazing way to start off the New Year!!! I had my first official session on Day 1 of 2021, and I couldn’t be happier! The session was beautiful — the snow, and my beautiful clients. We weren’t out there too long, but long enough to capture some updated family portraits…AND a mini snowball…

SNOW!! It actually SNOWED in Oklahoma, and it wasn’t ICE! It’s a Christmas miracle…well, for many Oklahomans, it really was! The kids were out of school for two days – which is a little weird now because they now have Virtual School Days instead of Snow Days. In any case, it meant more time with…

I tend to think it’s a pretty big compliment when a photographer asks you to photograph their family, so when this sweet photographer reached out to me, I was more than happy to have a snow session with her! I was actually going to be out in the snow for just a few minutes anyways,…

How has it already been six months? Actually, it’s been over 6 months, by about a week. If you are new to coming to my page, or if it’s the first time hearing about this, I’ll share a summary. In late May 2020, I had a breast explant surgery – yep, I voluntarily got rid of…

How I loved seeing this sweet family again this year! Last year, my friend, client, and realtor, Kat Kosmala with ERA in Oklahoma City did an amazing Client Appreciation event, and that is where I initially took this family’s pictures. They were, and still are, so kind, and let me know how much the photographs…

I’m always thankful when new clients choose me out of the pools of talented photographers that we have here in Oklahoma City! This particular client made me giddy since not only did I get to document their family session (still to come to the blog), but I also was asked to capture their daughter’s Sweet…
Read MoreCelebrating TWO…and my First Home-Water Birth
It’s hard for me to imagine, but this time two years ago, I was barely recovering from having my first HOME Water Birth Story session! Yes, me. I was recovering…from photographing it! To say this birth was eventful would be a huge understatement, as this birth was filled with so much peace, joy, love…and also…

Updating with another post – this one is from two months post surgery, and the difference in lifestyle is so recognizable by anyone who knows me! Explanting was definitely the right decision, and though the struggles are still real, I know I am better off without the toxic, fake breasts taking away from my life. …

Not sure who all has hung in there with me through these last couple of “Renew:” blog updates, but this one should catch me up to the present! Last week, on September 15th, I had my 3 month post op check up with the amazing Dr. Derek Shadid. First, for anyone who may be considering…

I’m playing catch up, again, which seems to be my favorite game! I wanted to make sure these updates on my surgery are recorded somewhere other than Facebook, and are searchable for anyone who might be interested. I have had at least half a dozen women ask me about BII, and I am very happy…
