I can’t figure out the right words tonight. I’m not saying I typically have the right words; but I can tell you that there are days where it’s less difficult to string a series of words together to form a sentence. Because of my struggle, I’ll be brief. Continue reading
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
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?
You know how its always a little concerning when your child’s quiet in the back of the car? Especially when they have your phone? No? Just me?
Connor likes to play several games on my phone. He’s also figured out how to find videos on YouTube. By the way … have you seen How Animals Eat Their Food? Hilarious.
Yesterday, he got quiet. I figured he was playing one of his games or looking through my photo album which is also sometimes scary. P.S. never screen shot workouts you think would be worth trying, especially if the workout is meant to improve the look of your behind with the details placed oh-so-perfectly over the contour of a woman’s behind. The next thing you know your son will be zooming in on it and sharing it with everyone … at church.
Anyway, we pulled in the garage and he asked me to look at what he’d created. He happened to open my new camera app and figured out how to take a video. He asked me if I could guess what he was saying (because he did it as ‘quietly as possible’) but he couldn’t help himself and blurted it out. I’ll let you watch and see if you can tell why he makes my heart melt.
Sorry my kid’s face is super-sized.
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
Isn’t it unbelievably amazing how quickly a newborn morphs into a little human being? Melanie and Jason were kind enough to ask me to come take some photos of their sweet baby girl and I got to experience first-hand the many faces of Eleanor. Oh, and I won’t say that I hated having to pick her up and snuggle with her throughout the session. Well, all except for when her mom needed me to pick up couches and other potential obstacles. She-Ra: Princess of Power! Continue reading
I had this post all geared up to go last night and then after a series of light flickers, the power went out. How dare those storms interfere with the InterWebs?!
