About once or twice a week I get notifications from Facebook telling me someone visited my business page, and then a nudge, encouraging me to share something for my "audience". I silently sigh to myself while I think about how long ago it was that I last shared a picture.

Many of you already knew this, but four years ago I decided to go back to school and work toward receiving a Bachelor's in Radiologic Sciences. Meanwhile, our family was blessed with a surprise caboose we never knew we needed. Life has been a wild ride as we have navigated through the chaos of having a mom go to school full-time with five active children. I'm down to 416 days before graduation, but who's really counting?

I have held back on advertising my business due to the craziness, but if I'm being honest, I will probably never fully give up photography 100%. There are times when it is the last thing I think I can do, but other times when I can (and really want to) fit in a session here and there for my own indulgence. Many of my past clients have been so wonderful to reach out and ask if I would consider taking their portraits, and have booked during times when I was free.

I'm sharing these images as a way to update my page a little, but if you're super interested in booking a session, don't mind waiting until very specific times I have available, and willing to possibly be a little more patient with a slower turnaround, then drop me a message.

Now back to homework and studying for me!

It is such a crazy experience working with seniors who were just in elementary or middle school the last time I saw them...and then BAM! They are practically adults ready to take on the world. Ashley, you're stunning and I know you've got a big bright future ahead of you! Thanks for giving me the pleasure of taking your senior portraits! -Becky

In case anyone was wondering, I have taken a bit of a hiatus these days. I went back to school full-time a year ago, and haven't been taking on the same volume of clients as before. I have missed shooting, but have been very grateful to not have the added stress of how to make it work amidst the Covid issues. I've had the blessing of photographing a limited number of clients when time allows, and it definitely fills my soul. I love photography and am not sure I can ever completely give it up. I wanted to share my most recent session of the sweet Hastings family. I have had the pleasure of photographing them for several years and truly adore their family.

I couldn't {not} share this picture!  Ah, they are so cute!

This was taken at the tail end of the shoot, and the children had been told they "were done"...which is definitely something I should be careful of since I always seem to spot perfect photo ops after this proclamation has been made. This little sweetie was ready to go but the light behind her was my most favorite kind (golden, low, and through the trees) so naturally I asked her to stop for a moment. She didn't have to smile, and I am glad she didn't. I felt it was fitting to give this one a little bit of a darker/moody edit, and am happy with the final result.

Becoming a family of three (almost fourteen years ago) was such an incredible time for me. So much love I never knew possible for another little human. It brought an array of emotions my husband and I experienced together, and we couldn't imagine life without our new little one. I love capturing these wonderful stages for families; as this is all we have to look back on and be able to clearly remember the rapidly changing leg rolls and drool-coated toothless grins.

Oh these kiddos totally made me smile!

The rock formations at the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs were so fun to photograph Kyra in. The colors just pop so beautifully.
