Sparkles in her footsteps,
Sunshine in her smile—
A little princess spreading magic
Everywhere she goes for a while.

I’m super excited to share some awesome news! I recently submitted four images to the Hays Art Council in Hays, KS for the Five State Photo Exhibition and Competition. There were 648 images submitted by over 175 photographers, and only 150 images were selected for the exhibition.

All four of my images were accepted!

The exhibit opens December 6th and runs through February. An online gallery will be available in mid-December, and I’ll be sure to share the link once it’s live.

The Five State Art Competition includes photographers from Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Colorado, so I’m truly honored to be included.

I spent the morning with my grandbabies the other day and had a chance to play around with some ideas I’d been thinking about using butterflies. They were excited about the butterflies, the girls a little more than the boys, and were all about the pics.

Tara, Daisy, Matthew, and Dimitri bring me so much joy. These moments are just too sweet not to share. Photography for me is all about treasuring the little things that make life sparkle, and my grandbabies definitely make my heart happy!iesr

The lotus — a symbol of purity, resilience, and quiet strength — captured in timeless black and white. Sometimes, elegance speaks loudest in the absence of color.
