It’s official, I’m finally that annoying lady. That’s right moms, you know which one I’m talking about it. She smiles at the mother of a toddler refusing to sit still or listen, throwing a tantrum in a store because it’s past nap time but you were out of milk and diapers. The woman who asks...
We recently took a mini trip to visit family in Ocean City, Maryland. My husband’s sister and her family live there and we visited them last year for a long weekend. It was so much fun, we knew we had to put them out again. I decided last year to take off for Fourth of...
We have always wanted a dog. We never got one because our home is small and we were busy having babies. Who wants to train a puppy when you have newborns and young children at home? I know I wasn’t up for that challenge. We compromised almost 2 years ago by getting kittens. They are...
Today I registered my 3rd child, my youngest, my baby boy (who will always be) for Kindergarten in the fall. I didn’t shed a tear (held them in), but he cried when we left because he wanted to stay there. I know this is great because starting school can be scary for many little ones....
I think flowers are beautiful! I love wedding flowers, gardens, even the bouquets at our grocery store. When it comes to receiving flowers, I don’t like the obligatory ones. I want flowers just because, for no reason other than I was thought of. We have to be careful what flowers we have in our home...
It is amazing how something as simple as a kitchen sink can affect my mood. We don’t eat out very often, so our kitchen sink is always full. It is a very rare occasion that the sink doesn’t have dishes to be washed or some drying. When it does happen, it doesn’t last very long. ...
A few years ago, I received a message in my Facebook inbox. It was completely unexpected and it was from a photographer whose work I admired. She took the time to message me and say how much she loved my newborn work. She mentioned that she had seen the growth in my work and just...
From the lights to the smells, I just love the holidays! They have always been my favorite time of the year. On November 1st, I wake up with a smile on my face and holiday cheer in my heart. I am the Grinch’s worst nightmare. I start playing Christmas music way too early. I enjoy...
Layla has always been scared of Santa and the Easter Bunny. I don’t think I have any photos of her visiting with either of them. Then Evan came along and was smitten with Santa. He begged to visit him at the mall early on. It was so fun, but I got yelled at for trying...
Every year, on my birthday, I go through the same thought process. First things first, I’m grateful. Birthdays aren’t about celebrating a person, but celebrating a life. On this very day, 32 years ago, I was given life. (Okay, if you are like me, you believe that life begins sooner than that.) I was given the...
Every year I try to have our photos done. Last year, we ended up doing a mommy and me session. That was a lot of fun. 2 1/2 years ago we had our family photos done with daddy. I look at those photos every day. They are canvases hanging in my living room. I’m so...
Our Thanksgiving is pretty quiet. It’s not fancy and we stay home. We decided a long time ago that we will always make holidays special. We don’t have to go anywhere or have anyone over. We don’t live very close to family and they prefer not traveling to us. Otherwise, we’d be happy to host. ...
People are usually surprised when I tell them I have an 11 year old. Wait until I say, 12! Well, I did start young. I had Carissa when I was 19. (I’m 31 now.) It is not easy having a baby so young. I think I was born with baby instincts, so I did handle...
It’s the question on the minds of all parents, “How can I slow down time?” I ask myself every day and still haven’t come up with an answer. As my children get older, as I get older, time seems to speed up even faster. I don’t quite understand it. Is it just what happens? Is...
This post has been on my mind for awhile. So I figured I should make time to get it off my chest. I want to talk about Facebook and Instagram posts. I often hear people saying, “Sorry for the over share.”, “Sorry for blowing up your feed.”, “Why do they post so many photos of...
Welcome to my blog! I love sharing images from weddings and sessions with you all. Grab a cup of coffee or kill some time between commitments while enjoying some beautiful people!
