Life. I am surrounded by life. Beautiful, wonderful, new life. As a mother and as a photographer, I get to experience the best moments of life over and over again. The excitement of a new baby, the anticipation of an engagement, the emotions of a wedding, the thrill of expecting a little one. I am…
Day One
This week, I had the joy of meeting my new niece on her first full day on earth. She was born over a month early, but was perfect in every way. It was love at first site. Of all the joys that lighten suffering earth, what joy is welcomed like a newborn child? ~Dorothy L….
Walk, Walk, Walk….
I am tired. Tired to my very bones. The kids were off school today and we spent it together. Hiking. Fixing the tires. Shopping like pros at CVS. Making Coke floats at McDonalds. Visiting the local Farmer’s Market. Walking, walking and walking. Tomorrow I’ll contrast today’s busy-ness with a different kind of busy-ness. Tomorrow I…
Give Me Your Best Shot!
This week I’m breaking away from my traditional Photostory Friday post (though I’m still participating with Cecily!) and bringing you a fun little Give Me Your Best Shot. You can show off any photos you like, but if you happen to have some fun/favorite pictures from the Summer, I’d love to see those today! Summer…
Getting Our Craft On! PhotoStory Friday
I am not a party-thrower. I love attending parties. When someone else is in charge of setting up and cleaning up. So the fact that I threw a party for a handful of friends just days before school went back into session was huge. And guess what? I survived. And we had fun. We got…
Gold Mine Giddy – GMYBS-PSF
It feels like ages ago that I took the picture that was to become my trademark Better in Bulk image. I wish I could take credit for the vision, but I have to admit that it was my friend, Liz, who came up with the idea of displaying the vintage candy jars with all of…
Never As Easy As It Looks – PSF
I spent 3 hours with a delightful mom, her 2 year old daughter, and newborn twins this week. Three hours is what it took for us to decide that we had finally caught enough pictures of her three girls, who were taking turns being fussy the entire time we were together. I constantly reassured her…
I Heart New York – PSF
I’m blogging now from the Hilton in New York City, where I’ve already exhausted myself had SO much fun meeting my blogging friends. The bloggers here in New York City are different than I was expecting. Wetter, in fact. Actually, we are all wet and sweaty from the extreme heat and humidity here today. Hot…
Summer Reception – GMYBS
This week’s set of favorite shots is from Saturday’s very HOT (107 degrees!) but very fun and relaxing wedding reception. The groom is a personal favorite of CandyMan and mine, and the bride just happens to be Reese’s counselor at camp. In short, we love these guys and their family. Despite the heat, we enjoyed…
Cooling Off….GMYBSPSF
It’s HOT here. Saturday is supposed to be record-breaking temps in the 100s. If it weren’t for the activity we have with other kids at church in the morning, and the wedding reception of the century in the afternoon, I’d just spend the entire day at the pool, sipping ice cold soda. (Disclaimer–the reception really…
