Around here, we’ve been trying to figure out how to get Brayden to stay in his room in the wee hours of the morning.  Rising before 6 am isn’t something I’m used to, but seems to be a trend this past couple weeks.  Lights come on, doors start opening and I get a lot of […]

Sequel to Quantum Leap, Part I . . . you can read that if you click here.   I made dinner in my own little bubble of happiness the other night.  Carter was taking a quick catnap and I stuck this puzzle in front of Brayden and said do this, or you’ll be grounded for […]

Just looking through my point and shoot camera, and realized that we often take pictures and videos on it, and never bother to upload them.  So there are a few things from this summer mixed in with some recent stuff. So here it is. . . Random point and shoot Thursday. . . Golfing with […]

A pregnant belly!  I had the opportunity to shoot a maternity session this past weekend.  Kimi is expecting a little boy in just a few weeks.   The beach was perfect . . . a cool evening with a breeze and then a gorgeous sunset sky.  I learned a little history about our city when […]

If you weren’t able to translate the picture that Brayden drew, it’s of his first love. . . a bowling alley.   And look at my big boy writing a word!! See? . . . he’s a preschooler now and all of a sudden he can write letters.  But I would never ever admit that […]

I returned to secret place number eighty-seven to shoot Joe’s senior pictures.  It’s amazing how much more you can find visiting a place for a second time.  We found some great background material. . . lots of different colors and textures.  And the scenery was gorgeous.  I will definitely be using this top secret location for […]

We’re getting the hang of this school year routine.  But I have to admit, I am finding it difficult to be adventurous outside of our house, with the need for Carter to have a morning nap and his ability to not be able to sleep when we are out.  Who can complain though, when instead […]

Maria and Rich were married on a gorgeous Saturday at the end of August.  Maria is from Peru, so it was a unique reception with a lot of variety in the music.  James was thrilled about the day because he was allowed to drive a golf cart at the country club as we did some […]

Staying home is never boring.  I know that many people say that they’d never be able to do it. . . they would get bored, they would go crazy, they have no desire to.  They would feel like they’d be wasting their brain by not putting it to use somewhere else in society other than […]

Dylan’s photoshoot was a really unique experience. . . we got to do a variety of things which made the shoot really interested.  We started off at the local High School soccer field, where he is the starting goalie on the Varsity team.  James came along with me and did some shooting while Dylan made […]
