Laura and Mike were my last bride and groom of 2011.  The wedding was decorated wintery and beautiful.  Christmas trees with sparkling lights gave a warm, festive feel to both the ceremony and the reception.   What a great wedding season we had last year.  I am looking forward to updating and making some changes […]

We celebrated our own little Christmas on the day after the real Christmas.  We opened gifts with the boys and then just a short while later had to hop on the road for our eleven hour drive.  I felt bad that the boys really couldn’t play with any of their new toys, but I think […]

Celebrating James while we were in Virginia.   There’s a lot to celebrate.  There’s no one in this world quite like him–and I think I have found my perfect match.  Here’s to thirty-one years so far.  Looking forward to what the rest of our lives together will look like.  But don’t worry. . . I’m […]

It’s inevitable every year.  I don’t get around to posting my holiday pictures, whatever holiday it may be, until well after the holiday is over.  I have excuses a plenty–and I think they are all pretty valid . . . over twenty four hours of driving, stomach bugs, family members from all over the country, […]

Red hair and blue eyes.  Can you say gorgeous? I can’t wait to see what a beauty this little munchkin is going to turn into when she enters childhood.  She was so happy during our session.  And she giggles the most for her daddy 🙂

For one whole school year, I babysat these two little munchkins.  They were my first son’s best friends and nearly like siblings.  We went to their house almost everyday for eight hours.  I grew to love them dearly.   Now they are growing far too big, too fast, just like my own son.  They no […]

Families love that I don’t limit how many outfit changes you can do.  I love that this mom brought a million outfits for her little girl.  There is a such a fun variety to a session when there are different clothes involved. And even more when you do some inside and some outside.   This […]

Capturing the daily beauty in our lives is something that I strive to do.  Often, I forget.  Not positive that I am up for the full challenge this coming year, but one of these years I want to do a Project 365. . . taking at least ONE picture every day.  Doesn’t sound all that […]

Yes, this baby did have his shirt off.  In December.  In Rochester.   It was almost seventy degrees on the day of his session.  And his momma and I were going to take that for all it was worth.   I loved this little guy.  He was mellow and had twinkly eyes.  And he reminded […]

I have so much to be thankful for Christmas this year.  I know thankfulness is usually a term that is synonymous with Thanksgiving. . . but I am finding myself being more thankful now.  Now that I find my world isn’t spinning around in chaos.  In the past thirty days, we have been part of […]
