I have a bunch of babies on my “baby’s first year” plan, that I get to see every four months.  It’s always so fun watching them grow up and change right before my eyes.  It’s even more fun when I shot the little wee one’s parent’s wedding and maternity session as well.  It makes it […]

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t like staying home all day, every day.  We normally go somewhere three or four mornings a week to give us something to do.  Otherwise I’m too tempted to rely on electronics/tv to keep the boys busy.  And that irks me.  Brayden has no problem asking a […]

Our library hosts a Star Wars Night twice a year. . . last year we went in April (see the post here).   Carter had no idea what Star Wars was at that point, but now he’s totally into it.  He knows all sort of things about the characters and who is friends with who […]

It’s been entirely way too long since I’ve blogged my instagram pictures!  I think this group of them goes all the way back to Christmas time.  I love looking at all of them in a group.  It’s such a fun way to document life.  And they make everything so easy these days. . . you […]

This little guy was heaven.  Full of expression, and life, and imagination.  His parents came prepared with a bag full of goodies and kept pulling things out to Miles’ delight.  I loved the way the sun came out during part of our session and made some beautiful sun flare while Miles happily played away.

Dear Carter, Today, you are three.  And though we aren’t celebrating it like we should be, I hope we can make up for that somehow in the coming days.  Your birthday party was cancelled twice because first your brother was sick, and then you were sick and then I got sick, and you are still […]

This session left me happy on the inside.  This little boy’s older sisters were so enamored by him and clearly were already head over heels in love.  They both wanted to hold him.  The snuggled him and showered him with kisses, and it warmed my heart.  The whole family was so precious–and I enjoyed that […]

I once read somewhere a long time ago that it’s a great thing to be able to generate multiple streams of income.  I’ve thought a lot about that recently, especially this year since I won’t be shooting a lot of weddings due to being on maternity leave, and that was a huge source of income […]

Photographing these two little girls was a joy.  The oldest, super shy and reserved.  The youngest, full of smiles and delight.  They complimented each other well, and you could tell that they were so in love with each other.  Built in best friends, for life.  Something I never had, but see so often with a […]

Every year at about this time, I have a tradition.  I dream daily of moving to warmer temperatures.  I think about what it would be like to leave my house every day and have it be mild for nearly the entire year.  My heart longs for the seventies and I suddenly become so unhappy with […]
