My trip to Texas last week also included a pretty special photo shoot (or 2). My niece (and first godchild!), Megan is getting married next year and she asked me if I would take some engagement photos for her and her fiance, Daniel. I of course, could not say YES fast enough. We had a…
Onward to Bliss…
Things have been a little nutty around here lately. G has been sick off and on with fever which finally culminated into a full blown, double ear infection. Great times at the clinic today, lemme tell ya! (two restless kids, one sick, one harried mom, waiting for 2 hours, only one electronic device, bored after…
Just the Two of Us
Blue sky, blue eyes, coral vest and green grass (and weeds). Purple shoes, pink blooms and her favorite scarf with hearts. Blonde hair and yogurt-trimmed lips. A sweet, little girl who hardly stops talking and asking questions. Swinging together and bouquets from the backyard. Sun shining and birds chirping with Spring in the air, it’s almost here….
Here I Am
I have been completely inspired by my friend Sarah. There is just no other way to say it. So… I took at least one photo of myself every day last week, sometimes with kids, sometimes not, because her project has me seeing things differently, with ME in front of the camera too. Here are the results… A…

We’ve DONE Mardi Gras!
Mardi Gras is a pretty big deal around here. Many balls have already taken place (not that I was invited to any, whatever…) and they start baking King Cakes pretty much right after Christmas. What would you like in yours? Strawberry, chocolate, Bavarian cream? Yeah. One of each please. Also, the parades even started this…
Just One Day
I have wanted to do this for a long, long time and I finally did it – I documented an entire day in photos! I used both my Nikon D90 and my iPhone 4S, for when we were out-and-about. This was our day last Thursday, from beginning to end. I’ll let the pics speak for…
Nature and Ice Cream
Since it finally stopped raining around here (I know, I know, I’m like a broken record), we’ve been getting outside, thank God! Yesterday I went for a 2.5 mile run in the park and it was heaven. The park was packed with people reading on blankets and throwing Frisbees with their dogs and kids playing and as…
A Regular Afternoon (and family pictures)
I just made a pot of chili and it simmers on the stove. On the L-shaped couch sits a huge plastic Sam-sized container of animal crackers, the lid nowhere to be found. Along with my two boys, a bowl of popcorn, one (empty, thank goodness) plastic cup, a pillow, a remote control, a stuffed teddy…
They Were Just So Dang Happy To Be Outside (and so was I)
It’s been raining and GRAY here since the new year. I am pretty sure I can count on one hand the days or parts of a day since then that I have seen a hint of the sun or any touch of blue sky. But, on Friday afternoon it was overcast and not raining. …
