This family was a lot of fun to photograph because so many things about them reminded my of James’ Aunt and Uncle and their family.  A mixed family with both biological and adopted children, and a love between them like no other.   We laughed a lot, played a little freeze tag.  Took some snack […]

Our house is on the market.  Yes, again.  James and I might have the record for most amount of houses bought and sold at the age of thirty.  We hope we get it all figured out soon and that God helps us to settle down and grow some roots somewhere. For most of you who […]

This past weekend, I had 47 hours with no responsibilities.  Three of my wonderful friends and I went away for a couple of days to spend some time with each–we’ve done it four times in the past three years.  It’s glorious.  My friend Kari’s in-laws own a house on one of the Finger Lakes, so […]

For the most part, I had some pretty amazing weather for my weddings this season.  Ashley and Kevin’s Buffalo wedding was no exception.  It was a gorgeous, September Saturday.  The sun was shining and Ashley and Kevin could not stop smiling the entire day.  I’ve never seen a groom smile as much as Kevin.  They […]

I love photographing one year olds.  Their expressions are priceless.  And they are always so interactive and totally love all the attention and silly faces I make.  (Well, not ALL of them like the attention and silly faces).  But Max definitely did.  He was a blast, and he had the most gorgeous blue eyes and […]

We had a perfect day for this family’s photo session.   A sunny and warm autumn morning.  The kids had some space to run around. . . we saw some pretty scenery . . . and I loved how the morning sun was coming through the trees perfectly.

In case you were wondering if you were the only ones who have days that look like this, you aren’t.  Days were everyone is on their third outfit, and by that time they are mismatched, wearing play clothes mixed with pajama pants.  Days where everyone is long overdue for a haircut.  Days were there are […]

Stick a fork in me. I’m like a whirlwind.  You can’t contain me.  I’m going at a hundred miles and hour.  But I’m takingit one day at a time.  And miraculously, I am surviving. So is my family. Forgive me, there are no pictures in this post.  I actually had a thirty minute break, in […]

This week at I Heart Faces, the challenge is Hands.  I didn’t have to think twice about which image I wanted to enter.  This photograph was taken of a family who had five generations of women all alive.  The oldest woman, Julia, was 95.  And the youngest was just five weeks old.  I was honored […]

Forecast for the next six days?  72, 79, 79, 76, 74, 70.   Wow.  Just when I think I get ahead and switch over the kids summer clothes to fall ones.  Then have to go back to the attic because we had a really warm week in September.  Think I’m all set to put those […]
