was Typing! My mom urged me to take the class, and seriously, it was the best decision ever.  I don’t brag about many things, but I am a typing maniac.  And I love to do it!  Because I’m nerdy, and because it’s sort of fun, I just took a typing test on http://www.typingtest.com.  Actually, I’m so […]

Dear Carter, Today, you are four. I couldn’t believe when the day came that your big brother turned four.  And now it’s your very own turn.  We’ve been celebrating your birthday for about a week, starting with dinner last week at a friend’s house, followed by a birthday party and cupcakes at preschool.  You are […]

It has been so much fun shooting Carter’s first year.  His family is so sweet, and I’ve loved getting to know this little guy and his two big sisters. Families grow on me. . . I get so sad when their little ones turn one!  That means I won’t be seeing them every few months. […]

I’ve been hard at work the past couple weeks redesigning my website.  It’s no easy task, but I am grateful for an incredibly user friendly website company.  So happy to be getting it off the ground in about two weeks, and glad to have it done before Spring gets here and busier times start! I’m […]

I’m a big time slacker in some departments.  It’s not that I strive to be like this.  It’s just that literally, there is like this block in my brain right now that doesn’t allow me to properly plan dinners for my family.  And trips to the grocery store. Honestly, I hate dragging Sawyer out anywhere. […]

In the blink of an eye, life can completely turn itself around.  Like the worst nightmare possible. A very sweet person I know, exactly the same age as me, is now living that nightmare.  Her and her husband just found out that one of their four year old twins has a large brain tumor.  MRI […]

Today, I’m featuring some of my favorite things from my very own house, as opposed to all the ones I posted last month, which weren’t photographs I took of actual things in my house. 1.  Meal Replacement Shake.  Ever since the beginning of January, I’ve tried to drink one of these smoothies for a meal […]

Yesterday, we were at the eye doctors for just about two hours.  All of us went.  I made four appointments, because we all know that was completely sane of me.  They took James and Brayden back together.  And then they took me, along with Carter.  Oh wait, and look. . . we have a baby […]

I’m sure most of my blog reading audience isn’t interested in posts like this, but I think it’s important for me to share, and I’m so excited about it!  Which you also probably find odd too, because what’s all there to be excited about?  Well, I’ll tell you. Visit my current website here. It’s bright. […]

This family is amazing–I’ve so enjoyed getting to know them. And I was beyond thrilled that they wanted a newborn session in their own home . . . a very natural one. Interacting with their new little love. Spending some time snuggling her. Kissing her. I truly loved our time together during the session. And […]
