UTAH Fine art photography

 
 
“I feel there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.”
— Vincent Van Gogh
 

I love things with Character,

things that can’t be replicated.

 

There is something so beautiful about a worn antique, an old home, and a classic story read for generations. You can’t replicate them. In the same way, I want to tell a story with imagery that has character. Based in Utah, I photograph distinctly individual and authentic portraits. My own story is a picture of God’s grace, and I seek to use every tool I have been given to illustrate the love of Jesus - whether I am crafting imagery, or cooking a meal with my kids. Here you’ll find glimpses of my art and writings about my life as a Christ-follower, homeschool mom of five, and missionary family in the west.

Back in April we purchased five tiny caterpillars and took them home. As soon as we got home, Simon grabbed the container off of the counter and dropped it. I thought we had just killed our newly acquired beings. Thankfully, caterpillars are pretty resilient. For 12 days we watched as they grew and grew, waiting anxiously for when they’d make their chrysalis. The kids were mesmerized. It was funny how long we could sit and simply watch them move around in the container. One day we woke up to one in a newly formed chrysalis, and 6 days later we woke up to one emerged butterfly. We released them just in time - the day before a big trip back East. It was a beautiful way to wrap up our school year. They loved watching the caterpillars grow, and I loved watching them grow. (Though I thoroughly enjoyed the caterpillars too.) Watching my kids find joy in learning and in nature is such a blessing to me. Getting to teach them so many thing is such a joy. I both lose and find myself in being their mother and teacher.

A few treasures for my memory bank. 🤍 Last month I had the best birthday out in the mountains having a cookout and campfire with our crew by a steam in the woods. Simple and slow. We remembered the joy of hunting for sticks for our fire. I was surpr

Yesterday I turned another year older. All my candles on my cake wouldn’t light, so I joked that I had to go backwards two years in age. But in all seriousness, I don’t take a single year for granted anymore. After losing loved-ones and n
