Breathe

We had the kind of weekend these past few days that leaves you trying to catch your breath on Monday.  Sitting here for ten minutes writing a blog post actually makes me feel guilty because of the long list of things that I should be getting done to recoup from the weekend.  I was in bed […]

Routine

Amidst the business that inevitably comes with a photographer in the fall–the busiest season of all–I’ve found that there is a small sort of routine amongst our home.  We’ve managed to [most days] still sit down and eat as a family, even if that means eating at 4:30 because I have to leave for a […]

Three steps forward, two steps back

Sawyer was doing so well at night.  Sleeping until 4:15 am pretty consistently.  I can handle a large chunk of sleep–a little more than five hours if we got him down by 11.  Seems like we don’t get to bed much earlier with him. But the past few nights?  Yuck.  We’re back to the whole […]

Angela & Ryan [Rochester, NY Wedding Photographer]

From our first meeting, I could tell that Angela valued the importance of photography, and this of course means that I knew we would be a good fit.  She also believes in the importance of keeping memories alive–so there were perfect touches of sentiment–small charms with photos of loved ones who had pass away were […]

Home

Today, I took a quick walk down memory lane to here and here and here.  Which really was a bad idea, because then I cried. Plain and simple-I miss my brother.  I miss his wife.  And I miss their family. The three posts show us, happy, smiling, and all over three years younger.  Until this […]

Ollie [Rochester, NY Children’s Photographer]

This little man lit up my evening the night I did his session.  He was so joyful and just plain perfect.  This age is such a joy to photograph–they are so interactive, but they don’t run away from me! I can’t wait to see his family for their family session next month!

Good Natured–and a mini Clark Kent.

Brayden hasn’t reached the “too cool for mom” phase yet, which I’m hoping actually never happens.  He is so good natured, and doesn’t mind when I ask him to do a quick few pictures.  I’ve enjoyed that so far this school year–snapping a few to remember some mornings while waiting for the bus, and the […]

My Brown Eyed Boy

It’s a fact–most caucasian babies are born with dark blue eyes.  And then they gradually change to the color they will stay at forever.  Brayden was born with them, and then they changed to a grayish, then a greyish-hazel, and then finally stopped changed once they reach a sort of hazelish brown.  If that’s a […]

Hard Earned Money

Sometimes as a business owner, it’s a struggle for me to feel “justified” spending money on the business, when I know it could be put to good use for us a family.  When I first started up, there were a lot of large, up front costs–new computer, new cameras and lenses and flashes.  Website company. […]

Never Dull

There’s never a dull moment in these parts.  I find myself sitting at Dunkin Donuts right now, since I had to drop Carter off for his second orientation day at preschool for just an hour.  Not really enough time to make it worth going all the way back home for.  So I ran into the […]
