Kaitlin + Wayne got up way too early on New Years Day to get these pictures!  They were scurrying around, packing to leave (they were here visiting family and leaving immediately after our session), and Kaitlin even managed to squeeze in a hair appointment!  Not to mention, they have an adorable one year old son who they […]

Can I be honest?  I’m not exactly killing it on the recap posts from this year.  Lately it’s been all I can do just to share a few images from each session or wedding.  Fowler Studios grew so much this year, and when we grow, we like to take it slow and make sure we’re not […]

Adriana + Bryan’s wedding day was just incredible.  Her necklace was the same one her grandmother wore on her wedding day, family who was unsure whether they were able to fly in from Italy arrived just in time, and that dress— oh my goodness it swayed and bounced perfectly with every twirl on the dance […]

Man oh man… this family has stolen my heart!  They called me the first time when their daughter was turning one.  They wanted a birthday session to celebrate… and they’ve continued that tradition ever since!    Then a few years ago they added a son to their family, whose birthday is conveniently in fall, so […]

When I schedule engagement sessions during the busy season, I often schedule back-up dates as well, just in case of bad weather.  That way we aren’t scrambling for open dates every time a thunderstorm rolls in.  Rain, a hurricane, and a death in the family meant we had to reschedule three times with Courtney + Chris, […]

We knew this day would eventually come.  Josh and I talked about it many times over the years and he knew that when Jigsaw died, it was a day to immediately cancel everything, leave work, and just be together.  Jigsaw was my childhood dog.  His doggie family is a bit of a legend where I […]

There’s this struggle between a creative and business owner.  When you let your creativity fly, the business side struggles, and when you’re on top of the business pieces, the creative side is trapped and pushed down.  For most creative-type small business owners, we’re handling the creativity and the business details, and it’s for the birds! But over […]

I’m totally loving the hand lettering and watercolor look lately.  It’s so beautiful, complicated, simplistic, and messy all at the same time… kind of like life.  And as much as I love a cheap download to print myself, an original piece of work is just incredible.  And that’s exactly what Cartesterson INK is doing! 100% […]

We live + breathe weddings around here, but this June we’re going back to our roots and focusing on families.  Rarely do we have time to do any special projects because life is busy, especially in the summer!  So when I looked at our summer calendar and saw some openings, I knew it was time […]

I can’t find the words this Memorial Day. Back home the men in my family would go to the cemetery and decorate the graves of our brave veterans.  Watching them leave, crammed in a truck with hundreds of little American flags was an important part of my childhood- a great reminder of the reason why […]
