LOVE….

Utah Phillips says, “Time is an enormous, long river. And I am standing in it just as you are standing in it.” Time is what’s floating past us now. And now. And now. And now… Photos, especially real and true photos, hold that up for us to embrace. Your photos catch the glint of the riffles as the current moves past. And through your photography, you manage to somehow screen out anything that’s pretentious or manufactured – You have a remarkably honest eye.

I only want Posy to take my picture.

As a person who tends to take on rather large projects, hestitates to allow others help, and wants everything to run just perfectly….I have greatly appreciated Posy’s confident, yet nonintrusive, presence at my son’s birthday parties! I have discovered that, between supervising dozens of kiddos and ensuring that event happenings do not end in chaos, I have little time left to capture those perfect moments, let alone LIVE them. Posy gracefully fills in all of those gaps. I cannot think of a…

Posy is so aligned with the chemistry of people especially the sacred relationship between a mother and their child. She truly knows how to capture the moment without providing annoying tips or direction which can easily spoil the energy of a photo session; if she gives guidance it is always with suppose and grace. Posy is incredibly easy to work with because she has the amazing ability to connect with such a large variety of people and their needs. The pictures of my daughter took my breath awa…

Simply put, Posy has a way with people big and small. Though I am typically very uncomfortable in front of a camera, I really wanted to preserve the memory of my recent pregnancy. Thanks to Posy’s easy-going approach to photography, my shy three year old and I were both able to thoroughly enjoy being photographed. And we were completely thrilled with the results- she really caught us in our element… We will cherish these photos for our whole lives.
Christy Hall
I simply cannot sing Posy’s praises enough! She has photographed my daughter three times in the past year and I am always amazed to see the beautiful images she has captured. They are not cookie cutter photos and truly capture the unique personality of my child and our family. She is not only incredibly talented, but also a joy to work with! She is very patient and flexible, which is important when working with children! I know I will treasure our photos for a lifetime. I would recommend Posy …
Emily Stockdale
Posy has captured our children’s magical spirit dozens of times. Our four year old squeaks and squeals with excitement every time Posy arrives. Her photography is stunning, timeless and authentic.We are forever grateful for her talents and the awesome person she is.
Leni Rhodes
Over and over again, Posy has captured the absolute essence and energy of my son in the most beautiful photographs. I have watched her coax the whirling dervish into stillness at exactly the right moment, only to then elicit the heartbreaking grin that makes her pictures so special. I cherish these photographs, and because I have been able to reprint as many of them as I want, as often as I want, so does my extended family. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Jennifer Eudy
Posy is an absolute joy. Not only can she photograph beautiful moments with my reluctant children, but also crazy moments with my spotlight-loving husband (Mo Phillips)! If I could have her follow us around and capture every quiet and noisy moment of our lives I would. She takes the ordinary and makes it extraordinary with the click of a button.
Kate Phillips
I love the bond between mother and child more than any…its fierce beauty stops me EVERY TIME. Thank you to the amazing Posy for gifting us with capturing our deepest loves…our babies.
