I have had the fun opportunity to photograph a local high school musical.  I attended the dress rehearsal this past weekend to take some photos of the action.  It was so nice to test the waters of something a little different for me.  I didn’t have to direct the photos or tell people where to […]

I often ask Brayden to tell me a joke.  He never says, ummm, ummm. . . let me think of one.  Or no, I don’t want to tell a joke.  He immediately either says knock, knock or what did the something say to the something, and inserts two very random things.  And then proceeds to tell a […]

On my end table, next to the couch sits this reminder for me.  I look at it often.   I think about how easy it is to forget to do just that.  To live.  I admit. . . it’s so easy to let the days slip by without making them meaningful.  When things get tough, […]

The category this week at I Heart Faces is Slice of Life, which I am totally in love with.  I think a lot of my blog posts contain a smattering of images from our day that normally encompass this general idea.  So looking through the entries from everyone is fun for me–taking a little peek […]

I love free things.  If you are a reader of mine that knows me at all, you will know that I love a good deal.  90% of the things I own are from a garage sale or a thrift store.  That’s just the way we roll.  More for less.  It’s a good motto.  I still […]

Also, I’ve updated pricing for the mini-session to make it so that people are able to get a few more digital images for a […]

One really nice thing about being a photographer is the different people I get a chance to meet.  And every once in a while comes along a great group of people–a family–that embraces me for who I am as a person and wants to be a part of our lives.   Last summer, I photographed […]

Today, during Carter’s nap, I took out a bunch of toys with little pieces.  For the most part, all of our “little pieced” toys stay hidden–Carter will put anything in his mouth.  So we played with marbles and legos and these little bears.   Brayden practiced some math.  I learned we need to work a […]

The one thing that our zoo has going for it, is the sea lions.  Magically, two new sea lions appeared between the time of our last zoo visit and today.  That made two magical things for today’s tally–because for the first time in about six months, the sun came out to say hello and warmed […]

Three fun clips of Carter in the past couple weeks: -Dancing in the kitchen.  Please feel free to chuckle at James’ dancing song.  I do every time I watch the clip. -Playing with his Elmo camera, saying cheese and pretending to take a picture. -Practicing his two new words: uh oh and whoopsies.  And if […]
