Now is the time
THE DAYS are LONG, but the YEARS
are SHORT
Inside of daily life, time can feel endless. Until suddenly you pause, look up, and see entire seasons have passed. Newborns are walking. Toddlers are in school. Your babies are applying to college.
Each chapter of life happens but once for all of us. This is exactly why memories are so important.

My Story

ALL GOOD THINGS come to AN END
“My neighbor’s dachshund had puppies! They have one left. A female. Do you want her?”
That’s how she found me. It was October 2005 and I was in the throes of the final year of college when my roommate’s sister texted me. When I pulled up to the house on Brookhaven Drive that perfect, sunny day, I did not know I was meeting my soul companion for the next seventeen and a half years.
Punkin spent more time with me, by my side, than any other being in my life.
I had professional photos taken of us in 2018, when she was twelve, just outside my studio in downtown Waco where I walked with her every day. Then I had photos taken of us on her last full day. Curiously, it was 5 years to the day of our first session.
Here is what I can tell you: those photos hold a value I can not express. They are also not enough. Hindsight is 20/20 and if I could do it again, here is the wisdom I can offer:
Have photos taken OF your family in each major chapter of your life together.
I ache for photos of us on the cobblestone streets of Ghent, Belgium and along the farm path we walked in the evenings. At the time, I thought we would be moving to Europe. I did not prioritize a shoot because I could *do it later*. We flew home mid-February 2020. Then, the world shut down. Life took a different path.
Punkin passed in January of 2023, and I understand now, more than ever, the value of each and every photo I have with her. She was a part of me.
Make time. Later is not guaranteed.
"You are the BEST. We've worked with other photographers when you weren't available and it just isn't the same. You are always our top choice and truly capture our family."
—The Keeling Family
