Hi friends, family, and my wonderful clients who have become friends over the years. This is a hard post to write, but it’s been coming for some time now. I will be closing my studio in a couple of days and passing on the studio space to another very talented photographer, Joel Ferguson with

I am beyond thankful for the time I’ve had on Main Street, and all of the incredible people I’ve met along the way. And while I will still be working on photography here and there, I will be cutting way back in my hours and clients I’m able to take on. My daughter’s health is not good, and I need to focus on caring for her and my family. I held on to my studio for awhile following her second diagnosis of brain cancer, but it has become clear that this road isn’t going to get any easier anytime soon. So while photography has brought me much joy, I won’t be doing it professionally any longer at this time. I will still shoot some, but likely only family and personal projects.

Thank you for all who have loved and supported me and my business over the years. I am so thankful for each and every one of you.

I wish you many blessings, a Happy Thanksgiving, and a peaceful holiday season. And to Joel, I wish you the very best of luck! If you need studio photography services in Madison, check him out - he’s an excellent photographer and a really great human too.

Love your people and hold them tight, friends. It all goes so fast.

I’m so grateful for beautiful moments and happy memories, for being present with my children as much as I possibly can. Our community has had some hard times recently, and my daughter’s journey has been so difficult too. But when she’s home laying next to me in bed sleeping off a monster headache instead of at school with her peers like she wants to be, I can cuddle her, and look back and remember a joyful moment, and believe that there is lots more joy to come. In the midst of sorrow, somehow, some way, we still find glimpses of joy. And when we do, we cherish them for what they are and hope they will sustain us through the dark times.
Sending love, light, and peace to all those suffering today. To those grieving, or living in the uncertainty of a difficult diagnosis, my heart is with you. May you have sparks of joy in the darkness to sustain you.

I will never have the words to say how thankful I am for the gift of attending the Taylor Swift concert this weekend with my girls. It was unforgettable, and beautiful, and inspiring, and so much more. My girls loved the atmosphere of safety and solidarity and joy. And seeing the joy on their faces was the most beautiful experience I could ask for.
To all those who have supported our family during this hellish season, we thank you. To everyone who gave so our girl could have the best night of her life, thank you. We appreciate you and we will do our best to pay it forward to others too. 💛✨💛

Two incredible brain cancer survivors in one picture. One of them fighting again. One of them bringing a whole lot of joy to our family last night through her incredible efforts with a club ahead founded called Gifts for Gold. It was like Christmas morning for my whole family - huge baskets of gifts for the kids and so much more. The best part was seeing the smiles and the deep understanding they had for each other. My two oldest kids especially felt so loved and appreciated for their role in Caroline’s cancer fight. There’s nothing like being seen by someone who’s fought the same fight as you. I can’t wait to share more pictures but these are all I’ve got finished up for now. So enjoy some joy this Monday morning. 💛💛
Ps. We are celebrating because this week is the first week in MONTHS that we have a hospital-free week. No pokes or tests until next Wednesday!! 🥳💛🥳 and now that things are slowing down a smidge with treatment, I’m going to be getting back to the studio and work. If you’re looking for a photographer for family Christmas pictures, headshots, or even a bo***ir shoot for a gift for yourself or partner, bookings are open again and I would love to work with you.

Band kids are the best kids. They are dedicated and bright and quirky and fun. I’m so glad my kids have found their home in marching band. Congratulations to the Shawe Band of Gold for advancing to the Indiana State Finals. I can’t wait to watch you march again next Saturday!

My little bit is back to school this week. Fifth grade at an amazing school with the best support for her and our family I can imagine. And it’s still so much to navigate. The last couple days I’ve spent moving back and settling everything in to our house, cleaning, organizing, not stopping really to sit or breathe. Today though, I’m working out what to do with myself in the quiet with all my kids back in school. Do I keep going with tackling that laundry mountain? Do I face down the stack of edits waiting for me? Do I make the phone calls I’ve been putting off or write a million thank yous to all the incredible people who have come along side us on this journey the last few months? Do I go down to my studio and open it back up? Or do I take some time to rest and breathe and soothe my soul? Do I get out of bed? The long sprint (is that a thing?) of proton radiation is over, but the marathon of fighting a high grade glioma is just beginning. I can celebrate the victory of Caroline’s accomplishment finishing proton, and still feel the fear of the uncertainty to come.

This is a rambling post, but I guess it’s reflective of my rambling and disjointed insides. If you’re feeling unease or fear today, if you weep for and with your babies, you are not alone. If you don’t quite know what to do with yourself and the quiet at home or the nonstop noises in the hospital make you want to scream, you aren’t alone. From one mama to whatever other mamas see this post, you are doing great. Keep going. Keep fighting for your babies. Trust your instincts. Never ever give up, even when you don’t know how you will take the next breath. Celebrate the victories and allow yourself to feel the feelings. I believe in you.

I got back in the studio again today for a few minutes with my girls and my cousin’s beautiful daughter too. 💛

It felt amazing to shoot again in the studio and especially with these beautiful young ladies. Just an absolute pleasure to see the way they love and support each other!!
I plan to be back again in the studio on a part time basis starting in September. If you’ve been waiting to book with me, now’s a great time to get on my schedule!

Guess who’s almost done with proton therapy?!? This chickie!!
FIVE more treatments to go and then she will ring the bell and say adios to radiation.

We are hoping and praying so much that it’s given her brain exactly what it needs to kill the cancer and protect her healthy tissue. Lots more treatment to come, but radiation is almost DONE and Caroline will be able to start school just three days late.
Thanks so much to our community for all the love, prayers, support, vibes, healing energy. We feel every single bit of it and couldn’t have made it through without you. It’s been a really long hard summer for Caroline and our family, but we are so proud of what she’s been able to do.

I haven’t had the motivation or energy to pick up my camera or edit pictures in weeks. I have several sessions I have to finish up (thank you for your patience and understanding, beautiful ones!).
My beautiful daughter Caroline was diagnosed with a high grade glioma (brain cancer) for the second time in early June. Since then it’s been a roller coaster ride for sure, with us spending most of our time in Cincinnati at the Proton Therapy Center We have been home for the weekends, but basically this is a 24/7 thing getting our family through radiation treatment and figuring out next steps to support Caroline’s health and wellbeing.
Anyway, tonight we met another sweet family here who also have a daughter with brain cancer, and we spent a wonderful hour together in the culdesac at our apartment playing with chalk and being silly. Nothing inspires me more than these incredible, brave, resilient children.
Thank you to all who have given our family so much love and support over the last couple months. Please add these beauties to your prayers too.
Lots and lots of love, and so much hope for a cure.

Hi friends, last call for mini sessions and the last time I’ll be working for a bit. Caroline and I will be leaving for Cincinnati on Monday for her to start Proton Radiation Therapy for 7 weeks as she fights another grade 3/4 brain cancer. I would love so much to book these sessions tomorrow right up. I’ve decided to move them indoors due to the heat, so we will be inside at the studio at 723 W Main, which I think is where my work shines best anyway! I still have quite a few spots open and I would love to see you there. Have a beautiful day and feel free to share this post!
