Spring is Here!

which has us marveling at the seedlings popping up all around

every change of season brings a sense of renewal to our homestead and no matter how many seasons we witness on our land, we are always in awe of the natural beauty that surrounds us

If you have not had the chance to walk around, barefoot in the sun, in your yard, let this be your reminder, every day has something new to show as Spring quite literally springs forth.

Luca's Birth Story

Here’s your sign to book with ALR imagery for all your life events.

Documenting Tara and Tony’s major life events has led to SO many amazing moments captured with both still and video imagery, I only wish I knew how to create videos when they got married in Key West, FL.

From the gender reveal, to the maternity shoot, to the baby shower, to the Fresh 72, to the family and holiday sessions, I have aimed to capture quick, joyful moments to share with this beautiful family and I know it will all be so cherished.

You do not need me there for EVERY SINGLE event in order for me to create a memorable video of you and your family, just a few sessions throughout the years is all it takes, these years add up but we can freeze some moments to relive, over and over.

Practical Christmas

The year 2022 was one entered with so much intention to be more practical and efficient, more conscious of our environment and less wasteful and the Holidays in our Home this year were the perfect ending to a MUCH NEEDED lifestyle makeover. Christmas is the most plasticy and sugary time for most people, I think, and this year I plotted to keep it out of our home. It was surprisingly easy and we allowed a little wiggle room with the beautiful people who gifted us so many amazing presents and sweets. Splurging on a real tree which we always do because we love the smell of it burning a few days after Christmas was a no brainer this year but instead of ruining it with plastic lights, we decorated it with only handmade Christmas ornaments, feathers and bones from our farm.

We gave plants from our garden, seeds we had planted months before so the plants were hearty enough for their new homes by Christmas, gave practical gifts, gifts we will use for school and even the recycled wooden toys were a hit. Being aware of all the garbage that just sits in the landfill is only the beginning of seeing the big picture problem.

Waste Not. Want Not. It’s not That Hard.

Farmall Tractor Find

Ever since I discovered The Photographers Market which has so many resources for photographers, I have been scouring the farm lands I travel through for a RED FARMALL tractor. Apparently these old, shiny, farm vehicles are a hot commodity in the Farm World and you better believe I SWERVED when I saw this beauty while driving through Titusville, Fl.

Shiny Red is just so appealing, do you agree?!?
