Dear Carter, Today, you are one.  One year ago, you came into this world. . . blessing us right before Valentine’s Day.  The best kind of Valentine’s Day gift ever—cupid shot his arrow right through our hearts and we fell instantly in love.        February You are such a blessing to our family.  We […]

A little behind with this post!  Kristen and Daniel were married on a very blustery January afternoon.  The snow was coming down in huge, gorgeous flakes, making the day quite like a winter wonderland.  James and I had a good time photographing the day.  I wrote this post right after shooting the wedding.  

This little munchkin has amazingly blue eyes and the cutest little rolls.  We were able to take her one year pictures at my parents house–I’m totally loving the new portable backdrop stand.   She was a little unsure of the camera at first, but once she realized that I was a just a goofy lady […]

Before I throw a million pictures in your face with little tiny soldiers in it, let me first warm your heart with this favorite picture of the day.  Luckily I had my camera right next to me–Brayden was pretending to be an airplane, so I just picked it up, flicked it on and stole a […]

This might be on the border–teetering nearly over the edge toward makeover rather than mini.  But we didn’t replace the carpet (honestly WHAT were those people who lived here before us thinking??. . . and if you think the rug color is bad, you should see the color of the fence and deck!  holy purple!).  And […]

Here was our family room last week. . . I know the picture doesn’t show the whole room, but it was for selling purposes, so I only wanted to show the couch.  We sold the beast.  My parents had given it to us when we bought our first house. . . my mom bought it […]

We are in the midst of decorating some rooms.  We have been living in our house for two years and are still trying to make it home.  We had a new couch and bedroom set delivered the other day–I’m still in the process off trying to tie those rooms together . . . I promise […]

and one of munchkin number two. . . 

I just took out the bins of 18 month clothes from the attic.  Granted, most of the stuff is swimming on Carter, but he was starting to look a little ridiculous in the clothes I had been putting on him.  The 12 month sweaters and sweatshirts were barely covering the boy’s belly button.   I […]
