I was honored to be asked to take some photos of sweet little Emry now that she’s reached another one of her many-to-come milestones. I love, love, love working with this family because not only are they fun to photograph; they are fun to be around. Honestly, sometimes I have to watch myself because we just get chatty and then whoopsie, I’ve forgotten what I’m supposed to be focused on. Literally. Continue reading
I watched her get out of the vehicle as we jumped into ours. I had just shut my door and she was exiting the passenger side. What struck me first was that she had a gigantic sucker in her mouth. The way it was positioned was, honestly, not flattering. But, that was really my last thought. Continue reading
My friend Melissa is eagerly anticipating the arrival of her sweet little boy in just a few short weeks … October 3, to be exact. By the way, I can’t imagine how I would have felt knowing the exact day Connor would enter my world. This is where Melissa-the-likes-to-plan-ahead friend is very different than Staci-the-fly-by-the-seat gal. But I digress. Continue reading
Growing up, Kristi, Tiffany and I were nearly inseparable. Both are a year younger, but I always looked forward to cousin visits. More than anything, we were straight-up goofy. We come by it honestly. Continue reading
My dearest, sweet Alyssa,
I’ve been watching you. I feel so fortunate that some of life’s circumstances resulted in your becoming a much greater presence in my (and Connor’s) life these past couple of years. I’ve watched you become a beautiful young woman as you (and your sister!) have helped me care for my little man. Continue reading
my second grader. how did this happen?
It was funny. I read the 40th day in my devotional this morning and I thought, ‘how cool? i’ve made it through 40 days. that’s pretty significant, right? yay to the me.’
It’s not that 40 is ever really defined as a significant value, but it is repeated in the Bible a few times, e.g. raining for 40 days and 40 nights, Moses sitting on Mt. Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights; and it’s commonly referred to as the number of times someone has to engage in an activity for it to be a habit … hence that ‘yay to the me.’ comment. Continue reading
I can’t recall a year in which I’ve gotten to hold so many babies. I feel like something happened last year … October-ish? Was there a snowstorm?
Anyway, the babies. They are in abundance. And they’re all beautiful. And I love getting in extra snuggles having the opportunity to capture their new-ness. Oh, and the love from their bigger siblings and moms and dads. Rocky and Kelly are two really sweet people who make beautiful children. And surely, Grady loves his baby brother. Continue reading
With the losses my friends, family and I have suffered this year, I’ve come to realize what I love most about this little photography hobby of mine. Continue reading
