When I recently moved my boys into their new room I was determined to come up with some unique (and inexpensive) ways to decorate and make it special to them. Since they love to play with their little dinosaurs figures I started brainstorming on how to somehow...

Are you a Groopdealz groupie like me? There was a period of time when deal sites were fairly new on the scene and being the cheapskate bargain hunter that I am, I signed up for just about every one of them. Before long it was too much, I was inundated daily and...

So we bought a camper. I don’t really like camping. But my husband does and I have no doubt my children will love it too. Who am I to be the stick in the mud? So I asked myself what I don’t like about camping and my top two answers (being cold and...

A friend of mine from church called recently to see if I would photograph her family before her daughter left for college. Just so happens I adore her and her family so I was thrilled. We first met when she led a bible study that I had joined and I was immediately...

Today was a big day. It was a good day. This one started 1st grade. I was trying to figure out how to get her to the bus stop, then take the boys to preschool…then get to her school in time to walk her into class. “Mommy why would you come to my...

I’m on a mission to simplify the way we live in our home. Thing is – the act of simplifying is turning out to be hard work. But we have 4 adults, 3 kids and 2 dogs in this ‘not so big’ house so NOT simplifying is a sure path to insanity. Take...

Oh this girl. She happens to be my niece so I’m not biased or anything. But seriously, she’s the cutest little 6 month old on the planet…surely. Just try to argue it. Those expressions! Can I get outta here yet Auntie? I do feel sorry for her though...

It all started with Girl Scout cookies. Grace’s troop sold the heck out of them so they earned some money. We all voted and decided to donate to the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, CO. They let our girls visit for free and the rest of our families tagged...

It was a little over a month ago. I had been on a business trip for 5 days and was missing my babies and husband, lots. I boarded my flight and settled into my window seat for what I anticipated would be a very productive 4 hour flight from Orlando to Denver editing...

I knew this was going to be a great session when this little ray of sunshine ran up to me and greeted me with a giant hug. We had never met before, now she’s my buddy. This is her gang. They’re pretty awesome. Peek-A-Boo. Full. Of. Life. With this one as a...

Kids, I was just in the mood to take pictures of everything today. Maybe it was that you boys are finally starting to feel a teensy bit better after being sick for a week. Maybe it was because it was a day where we just let it flow..no plans, no leaving the house...

Ahh, the 4th Annual President’s Day weekend family trip to Buena Vista. It’s nothing that any sane individual would consider a relaxing vacation given that there were 11 kids (7 of them 6 years old and under). But once you learn to live with the white...

“Mommy, hug hug!” I was putting her to bed and as I began to walk away to turn off the light she asked for a hug. I walked over to her and stretched up to her on her loft bed for the hug. “I just wanna hug you forever, I never want to let go”...

Have you ever been witness to someone who has been through a transformation? They are still the same person but somehow…evolved? I get to see it through the lens of my camera. See that look on her face? It’s new. And it’s taken up permanent...

My baby. He’s such a little dude already (you’ll notice this year I didn’t make him wear his birthday suit like before). “Wait Mom…” “…where’s my pocket?” There we go. Luke you’re such a passionate soul...

I remember the first time I experienced the vulnerability of one of my children not feeling well. It was when Grace was a baby and she wasn’t even sick but she was teething and it was causing her a lot of pain. She woke me up in the middle of the night and I...

Christmas 2013 as well as the weeks leading up to it was a whirlwind. Every moment of every day swallowed up by stuff to do. Work. Preparation. Work. Preparation. Try to eek out a few family moments here and there…. Well those eeked out moments are the ones I...

November and December were insane for me. Insane. But after Thanksgiving I knew I needed to press pause and let tradition run the show for a day. The kids (okay me too) get so giddy when we put up our tree, it’s pure joy. It all starts with Papa Nick bringing...

I get to photograph my brand new baby niece tomorrow morning and I’m literally giddy about it. In light of this, I thought it was about time that I blog my sister’s maternity photos! Ahem. Sorry ’bout the delay there sis. How lovely is that belly?...
