It’s been nine days since I’ve written a blog post.  I know that it’s not really a big deal to most people, but I think that may be the longest break I’ve taken in quite some time–so it’s a big deal to me! We’ve been busy, busy, busy, spending some great quality time with family. […]

Yesterday, I took the boys to see Frozen at our amazing theater–I will never be able to go to another movie theater again.  Leather reclining seats.  Pretty clean for a movie theater.  Lots of room between aisles.  Totally enjoyable.  And five bucks when you go at an odd time on a weekday. And as for the […]

I love taking pictures of this little boy–I love that he makes me work hard for those perfect smiles.  I love that his momma adores when we can catch him happy and with a little twinkle in his eye.  I love his perfect gigantic blue almond shaped eyes.  And I love that when I take […]

Sometimes, when I’m pregnant and dream about my baby, I dream about a wee perfect little being, with a perfect fuzzy head and perfect baby soft skin.  Little delectable cheeks made for kissing.  Little fast kicking chubby legs to lotion up with Johnson’s Baby Magic lotion that smells like baby powder. With Carter, we missed […]

Our boys have really been playing together lately, and it sure does make life easier.  They’ve been totally into playmobil and trio blocks, and I’m digging it, though I’ve had to get on Brayden’s case about making sure he’s not being too bossy or always taking the “best” stuff, just because he can get away […]

I wanted to share a few images from Asher’s session this past weekend.  He was all smiles for the first half of the session–so fun and happy to be getting lots of attention.  He was sporting a sweater vest made by his very talented grandmother. I loved how Asher’s parents are so head over heels […]

I’m not a cook.  Nor have I ever professed to be one.  Not even a mediocre one.  I’ve ruined so many things, it’s ridiculous.  Some of my favorite ruined dinner stories are when I was first married and attempted to make chicken pot pie.  The funny thing about chicken pot pie is that if you […]

Sessions are winding down for the year.  I have a handful of sessions tomorrow, and two newborn sessions on the calendar for the month, but other than that I finally am slowing down and taking some time to catch up with the rest of life.  I was thrilled this morning to have some time to […]

I loved my time spent with Joanna and Alex during our engagement session–I learned a lot about their background and how they met.  Joanna had a fun sounding job at Disney World before moving back up to the tundra of New York.  And they’ve settled down in Buffalo for the time being.  Aren’t they so […]

Let me introduce you to a family member of ours who I am sure you didn’t know existed. This is Rocky.  He’s twenty-five years old.   When James was in second grade, he broke his arm.  I know the details of this story because he just told it at the dinner table on Monday.  He […]
