I got a major jump start on January organization this month. Cleaned out my wardrobe, packed away clothes for thrift stores, purchased a few necessary items and sighed a happy sigh. IT FEELS GREAT. This girl is waltzing through the snowy month, ready to jump into 2014! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! *** ….and […]

Some people are working on their facial hair this month. I’m just working on my wrinkles. I have two children: #1 hates eating and #2 hates sleeping. I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW THAT WAS POSSIBLE.

Being surrounded by everyone we loved and promising things to each other. Better, richer, health. Worse, poorer, sickness. In the blink of an eye, he […]

I’ve been shooting a lot lately. 50% of my 2013 wedding bookings happened to fall in the early summer months, so right now life is full of dressing up, packing my bags, hitting the road with coffee and methodically drumming out the photographer’s rhythm: shoot, upload, edit, export, shoot, upload, edit…. I’ve really enjoyed it. […]
