April 10th. It began. The journey that we said we would never do again. But we did. And NEVER AGAIN! I keep saying that, don’t I? If I move again, it won’t be in New York, that’s for sure. Somewhere warmer would be preferable. Our new house is full of great potential. I’m looking forward […]

Last week was a bear. We had sick kids galore. . . lots of fevers and coughing and crying. Lots and lots of crying. And mostly it was like having a newborn all over again, because Sawyer was up about ten times at night. . . crying, asking for water, crying and crying. And oh, […]

This little guy was many days late. . . apparently he was snug as a bug and didn’t care much to join the outside world. His newborn session was amazing. . . he slept, he smiled, he was all kinds of adorable. And his big sisters were thrilled to get to pick something out of the […]

I’m sure to most of you, it’s no surprise that I’m writing this post today. I have felt the need to mentally visit this every six months, to make sure that this small corner of the world still remembers her.  To make sure that all of my readers–some days a small audience, and other days […]

The following nearly fifty images were presented to James and I as part of our “image choices” from our professional wedding pictures. We’ve been married for just about eleven years. Eleven years ago we were just babies. We got engaged and I chose our photographer based on what, I’m not sure. But I was sure […]

How is this going to change you? I just don’t want to continue going through life the same, thinking that I’m not changed by this in some way.  These words were spoken to me last night by my husband. He’s super good at asking leading questions like this. And I am super good at not having […]

Four days ago, I ended a week long contest. I wanted to give away a mommy & me mini session to a deserving mom–and I also wanted to gift the “nominator” of the winner I chose with a free mini session as well. I know moms rarely are behind the lens with their children- we […]

It’s not very often that I offer themed mini session–I’m usually an “on location” photographer and like to shoot outside. But this year, I’ve decided to add a few themed sessions into the mixup for clients who sometimes like a few seasonal images for their collections. I brainstormed a few different ideas for props and […]

I’m not going to lie. Some days in this household are trying. I have yet to figure out my baby–some days he kicks and plays and crawls around like a happy go lucky little guy, and other days like today, he’s crying and screaming and drooling all over everything. Since he’s been army crawling everywhere, […]

In the past couple of weeks, I have been reminded of the goodness of humanity. Of the amazing bond that we can form when we join together for a good cause. It’s so much more uplifting to look past all the bad things happening everywhere we turn and be grateful that we still know how […]
