I’ve been longing to simplify my online presence and create something new for a while now. So I finally created a blogsite that will serve as my new photography blog, photography portfolio and...
I want to apologize for the silence lately. Many people have expressed such care and concern for how me and David are doing this year. I wanted to let you know that I have started a personal blog w...

Speaking of contests, I’ve never been very lucky. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever won a random drawing, raffle, or even a Sunday school contest in all my life. (I was never the c...
I’ve just opened up registration for the two photography workshops I’ll be teaching this year in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The dates are: May 11-12, 2010 May 25-26, 2010 For more informati...
When January 1, 2010 rolled in I think I dreaded it more than anything. Like oh great, this is that time of year when I’m supposed to re-write my life, set landmark goals, blog more, resign my...
Just wanted to post a quick notice for clients that I am going on vacation from Dec 27 - Jan 7 and will be unavailable by phone or email. I’ll get back with you when I’m home! Thanks!
a bit crazy lately. David started having pre-seizure symptoms last week which landed us in the emergency room. We were both pretty rattled at first, but nothing happened. The symptoms continued of...
David and I have been conversing quite a bit lately about the ancient tradition of honoring the sabbath and what that really looks like in today’s day and age. Once upon a time it meant that i...
Okay, so you know when you capture that stellar shot, and then you get home to your computer screen and the eyes just aren’t sharp and you want to crawl out of your skin? Getting consistently ...
I sit here drinking a tall, orange glass of carrot juice. I would be feeling extraordinarily healthy and pleased with myself if I hadn’t completely vetoed the effect of the carrot juice with th...
Oh the world of technology. The blessed, all too time-consuming, deliciously fun world of technology. I’ve cracked under the pressure. I used to be a nice girl who was content to curl up by t...
Throughout my life I’ve never really had a problem asking God for extravagant things. I don’t know why. I guess I’ve just always believed that He would hear me and somehow answer me...
I love shooting indoors. Window light is so pure, creamy and editorial. So I guess it wasn’t such a bad thing afterall that we had to take shelter indoors on the senior day of the workshop. ...
I sit at my computer today. The sun is shining through the window, David is blaring Radiohead from the other room. I’m feeling emotional. I’m caught in that weird in between place betw...
I’ve been putting off writing this post for the longest time. I think because I don’t know how to put words to what turned out to be an extremely emotional and spiritual experience for m...
I was scared to post these because I was afraid I’d be encouraging wedding inquiries…so let me explain the sudden & strange appearance of wedding photos on my blog. =) My friend calle...
If you could sum me up in one photo, this would be it. Everything I love about life. The sun, the water, the color blue, and my friend’s dog Walter giving me a wet willy. Did I mention this ...
I’m not going to lie. Life is pretty insane right now. Some days are just so rough I don’t know how I’m going to make it through them. I want to put on a face to the world that sa...
A little over a week ago my Grandfather on my Dad’s side passed away. He was 90 years old. My family gathered on Sunday and Monday for the visitation and the funeral. The sadness was palpabl...
A while ago a local arts magazine for the city of Tacoma, WA contacted me and asked to use one of my senior images for the cover of their Spring issue. This was actually my first time being publishe...
When I think over the blessings that I have been given in life, a career in photography is one of the BIGGEST answers to prayer that God ever gave me. I totally wanted, no NEEDED, to be self-employ...
At the break of dawn this morning I drove out to Lake Michigan for a session. I was really looking forward to this early morning beach shoot but as it turned out, Mother Nature had some major PMS an...
Okay, so I’ve written some pretty vulnerable and somewhat melancholy blogs lately. The truth is, I get so much fulfillment and meaning from sharing the deep parts of myself with others. The f...
The September 26-28 workshop is sold out! However, there are still seats available at the October 10-12 workshop for those of you who are considering attending. If you have any questions, please em...
I feel the need to share tonight. I don’t need to say anything fancy. I just want to write from my heart. I feel God tugging at my soul whispering, “Amy, come back to me. I miss you. ...
The summer is flying by. Is anyone else terribly sad about this? I feel like I blinked once, and already I’m picking out a Halloween costume. Maybe this year I can be something else besides ...
I’m thinking about him tonight….about how proud I am of him, but rarely tell him. I’m imagining the way he sips his coffee. Before he gave up coffee. I’m contemplating how h...
Before my spring workshops I used to worry that I would get the violent stomach flu or something that would keep me from being able to teach. I didn’t ever want to have to deal with the messy s...
On the inside I feel like I’m strangling life. Do you ever feel that way? Like you are wound up like an eight day clock and you just CAN’T. LET. GO. I’m so determined to be respo...
