For the most part, our lives are unaffected. Anything that is out of the ordinary for most people (i.e. Jared not driving) is simply our ‘new normal’. Led by Jared’s amazing strength of character, we choose to feel grateful for how insanely blessed...

Week 5/52 Theme: My Favorite Color How to choose? I love so many colors! But blue is definitely at the top. This challenge is supposed to be about learning and growing so although I love to photograph images of people, I wanted to try something new. Row 1:...

For some reason the age ‘4’ still seems little to me, like I can get away with calling her my baby girl, still shop in the toddler section, still have her convinced that mommy is a superhero. But 5…I can’t quite explain how it actually breaks...

The theme for week 2 of Project 52 was ‘Fresh’. Immediately I thought of the kids fresh from the bath or a nap, but then I remembered this photo that my ‘cheeky’ brother in law provided for me when I took some shots of their family a few weeks...

You could almost say that I’m cheating a little bit this year on my New Year’s Resolution because I’ve never been this excited about accomplishing a goal that I’ve set for myself. In a nutshell: I’m taking my photography to the next...

I thrive on goals executed by way of lists, and plans, a little bit of structure I suppose. Otherwise I’m easily distracted and I’ll get lost along the way in conversation or swallowed by the deep ocean that is Pinterest or, well you get the point. So for...

By far, the most fun year ever decorating the Christmas Tree. Last year, I was hugely pregnant and basically did my best to shoot some video from my spot on the couch. Jack thought that the fragile ball ornaments from my childhood should bounce so we had a few...
