There’s something about wine corks that screams DIY. Or is that just me? Ryan and I have tons all over our house because, well, we love wine. Our families love wine. Our friends love wine. Basically, Dowler is synonymous with wine (don’t cart me off to a meeting yet…). So, naturally when Danielle and I found this […]

Jonathan Curtis is here again to talk about prepping your make up for pictures. These tips are great for head shots, weddings, engagement, maternity and family sessions!

I am beyond excited to introduce you to one of my favorite people on this earth: Jonathan Curtis! I’ve known this guy since middle school (which is crazy) and I’ve seen him become the wonderfully talented man he is today! Jonathan is a make up artist + YouTube personality – he does make up for […]

The second port we visited on our cruise this summer was Nassau, Bahamas! This island is the home of the world-famous Atlantis resort (which we saw from our bus trip!). We were only in the Bahamas for a day – not even a full one – so we opted to take a bus tour through […]

I LOVE BABIES!!! There, I said it! I’m pretty sure if you know anything about me, you know that I love babies but what I love more is getting to photograph babies – their tiny feet, their cute little eyes that can’t focus on anything yet, the way their moms look at them like they’re […]

Kristin! I just LOVE you. I am so lucky that you have been a part of this project – I have absolutely loved getting to know you (so far – and I can’t wait to keep getting to know you!). Seeing you pregnant and now getting to meet your sweet little boy has been such […]
