Obligations

You know what I don’t like? Obligations. They just suck the fun out of everything and can even make something we like, a drag. You know what I love? Photography, blogging, connecting with people that love me, many things. When I become inconsistent, I feel like I’m not being a good blogger…therefore obligated to be……

Pumpkin Fun

I’m not a huge fan of Halloween. I love the things of fall, carving pumpkins and dressing up but the ‘holiday’ itself, not so much. It’s been a while since I actually participated in anything Halloween. Yesterday we decided to carve our pumpkins. We did one for Kingston and one for me. I’ll probably do……

Father & Son Shoot

Tuesday I was scheduled to have a father/son shoot late in the afternoon. As things unfolded, it turned out that my client couldn’t make it. Rather than skip the shoot, I decided to do it anyway with my own father and son duo. I had the ideas, location and final day on a rental portrait……

Friends

I’m on a posting roll!  Don’t worry, I’ll slink back into business in a couple days.  Get it while you can.  It ebbs and flows. In the mean time, I’ve been catching up with all the blogs and companies I like.  I found another contest in which I’d like to participate.  The ladies over at……

5 Ways

I mentioned it in my last post but I just have to reiterate how thankful I am that my mother shares my passion.  I delight in seeing her perspective.  A grandmothers view.  Her read of available light.  Not to mention that 95% of the pictures of me in the last several years have been from……

Another Mini-Milestone

I can’t believe that my littlest peanut is 11 months! This is the last month in her first year.  The last month I can still say, ‘almost one’.  The last time she’s technically still an infant.  More than likely the last month I’ll have an ‘almost walker’.  I thought my first year as a mother……

Siblings

I was very fortunate to have 2 kids that genuinely love each other.  Granted one isn’t yet a year old but I can see the way she looks at him and hear that snorty giggle when they play. I hear the way he calls her beautiful while stroking her cheek. It was like that from……

Autumn is in the Air

Ahh…I love this season.  Today is the first official day of Fall.  This shot was captured 2 years ago, today.  It was taken on a special birthday photography adventure/hike. Many wonderful Happy Birthday wishes to my mother.  Here’s a beautiful taste of color to wet your seasonal appetite!  

Cathedral Windows

I absolutely love handmade gifts. It means so much more to know that the giver thought of you through each and every step of the process that brought it to completion. Anyone can go to a store and buy something they think you’d like. Each year I try to put thought into each gift. I……

Are You Ready for Some Football?

I posted a peak last week of the second twin shoot in a month.  This football session was really fun.  I’ve never heard of anyone sending out football season cards.  It was a fun twist.  Here’s a few more of my favorites.         The cards that they got were double-sided.  I put……
