behind the camera

Hey, welcome to Strawberry Blonde Photography, a little business that started as a dream and has become one of my biggest blessings in life. I tend to share pretty openly about my life and thoughts on my blog so if you love to read, have some free time on your hands and would like to be encouraged, head on over to that link on from the home page. If you are more of a quick fact seeker, you can check out the cliffnotes below. Im pushing 40. I became a Christian in college and have been passionate about my relationship with Jesus ever since. I am an adoptee. My main goal in life was to be a mama and it is by far my favorite (and most exhausting) job. Ive been married since 2014 to my best friend who is also my complete opposite, a man of few words who has just as many calculations in his mind as I have dreams and ideas running wild in mine, so together we make a pretty amazing team. I love happy colors, laughing, dad jokes, sunshine, summertime, kyaking, hiking, snuggly blankets, colorful pens, chocolate and ice cream. My husband says Im a bit of a hippie and I dont disagree. I love photography and the thought that I get to create something that someone will be able to treasure for the rest of their life and through generations. I love natural, bright, colorful images with big goofy smiles and nose wrinkles, families laughing, eyes twinkling and children hanging onto their mama and daddy. I count this job and every client I work with as a blessing in my life and I am so thankful for each one.
