I used to be so nervous about photo shoots back when I first “started” my business that I would often say no to doing a shoot, coming up with some sort of excuse on why I couldn’t do it.  You can probably imagine that having an approach based on avoiding photo sessions isn’t good for […]

Real Time

I still have some shots to edit from James’ birthday bash, but I decided to post some real time pics tonight.      While it’s getting a little more common these days, it’s not super often that the boys play together.  Carter is still completely mesmerized by Brayden, and it’s fun to see their relationship […]

Rewind: Family Goodbyes and Birthday Dates

Finishing up editing my New Hampshire pictures!  Getting caught up one day at a time.  Here are some farewell pictures before we all headed back into our little crevices of the country.  I’m sure James’ parents were happy to return to somewhere other than the tundra.  Their Florida blood can’t handle such cold! I took […]

Rewind: New Hampshire-Part II

This series of black and white pictures made me smile for about ten minutes straight.  Everything is humorous and totally amazing about them all at the same time.  I tried to make cupcakes into a circle and decorate them to resemble a soccer ball.  I worked on them probably for an hour.  There was almost […]

Rewind: New Hampshire-Part I

After opening presents on Christmas, we hopped in our overly stuffed car (and totally realized that we desperately need a van) and drove over seven hours to spend the rest of break with some of James’s family.  We packed liked sardines into his brother’s house–sixteen of us.

Rewind: Christmas Day

Christmas morning at our own house.  Hooray!  James and I have celebrated eight Christmas Day’s in our marriage and we have never had one at our own home.  We were thrilled.  We didn’t get much time to play with all the gifts though–we left for a seven hour road trip before lunchtime and then we […]

Rewind: December 24th II

I started editing pictures from Christmas Day and realized that my card reader had not transfered all of my Christmas Eve pictures properly.  So I ran into a couple more that I wanted to post.  I am ridiculously behind in editing, so these pictures are nearly straight out of the camera.  I cropped a couple […]

Rewind: December 24th

It’s no secret that I’m behind on my posts.  So my next few posts are going to be rewinds.  We celebrated Christmas with a few of my family members on Christmas Eve.  Carter had no idea what was going on and Brayden was completely full of energy.  We enjoyed being able to stay at home […]
