October 23, 2017  •  Leave a Comment
I LOVE to travel! Seeing and experiencing new things does more for me than any tangible object ever could so I find myself investing more often in travel than anything else. My favorites are road trips and train rides so that's what I'll be focusing on in this post but believe me, even though it sounds minimal and limited, it definitely IS NOT! I...

October 16, 2017  •  Leave a Comment
As some of you may remember, I was on a road trip on the back roads of Missouri and through Mark Twain National Forest watching the leaves change this time last year. Our wonderful state has countless stunning views and our parks are one-of-a-kind, with a myriad of plants, trees, and wildlife to witness. On our trip last year, we visited seven stat...

Summer Flowers in Autumn

October 12, 2017  •  Leave a Comment
When I envision a perfect use of free time, I either see myself on an adventure or sitting in a serene and beautiful place tucked away in the woods. In both of these visions, I am outdoors. There is something so special to me about Mother Nature and the many spectacular displays she puts on for us. I do my best to surround myself by her elements a...

Sarah + AJ | An Unofficial Engagement Session

October 05, 2017  •  Leave a Comment
One of my favorite things about portraiture is that I get to be in the presence of love ALL THE TIME! I got to do that very thing during my recent mini sessions but one of them really stuck out to me. It was a rainy day and as I met Sarah and AJ near my spot, my brain was a whirl with how we were going to improvise for this session. The hay bale...

Peek into My Life: Our Chickens

October 02, 2017  •  Leave a Comment
A while back, Ryan and I started talking about the idea of transitioning into a homestead lifestyle. In the beginning, it was just a fantasy that we had which included chickens, goats, and a huge garden and we would occasionally bring it up but didn't see it happening any time soon as we are renters with two dogs. As time passed, our conversations...

Dressing Like a Pro for Your Portrait Session AND A Special Announcement

September 28, 2017  •  Leave a Comment
Getting ready for a session can be stressful. Add kids to the mix and just forget it, right? No one wants to get dressed, the shoes are uncomfortable, and they'd rather be watching Netflix.

What They Don't Tell You About Being a Photographer

September 25, 2017  •  Leave a Comment
When I began photographing people as a service, I didn't expect much else than a simple exchange: we go out to a location, have fun and take some photos, and then I deliver them to you and we go our separate ways until you need my services again. If I only knew how wrong I was! As a photographer, I get a peek inside people's lives. I get to see n...

Finding My Niche

February 26, 2017  •  Leave a Comment
Hello and Happy [Belated] New Year! I can't believe how quickly 2016 came and went but I'm really looking forward to the coming year for Loud Sights. As you may have noticed, I have rebranded for the year and am slowly narrowing down my work and finding a niche for my art. While I will continue to shoot a range of subjects, I find that I feel mos...
