This boy. We are abundantly aware of how blessed we are that we get to raise him. He’s confident, he’s loving, he’s awesome. He loves life…lives it well… and looks cool while doing it. Happy Birthday sweet boy. We’re so proud of you...

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?...

I love photographing my sister and her family. They’re just fun. I know that it can be nerve-wracking to get family photos done but you would never know it by looking at these guys. I started with these two. They’re the two ‘babies’. One is a...

This is our son Jack. He’s sweet. He’s funny. He’s peculiar. He’s all kinds of awesome. He’s 3…and lately he’s been reminding us of all that entails. He has an older sister who goes to Kindergarten full day and gets to do all...

Typically when I set out to make dinner for the family I’m searching for a recipe that is fast and easy. Risotto, well it’s actually neither. But every once in awhile I crave this rich, savory dish to satisfy my comfort food craving. It’s time...

It’s about that time in 31 Days of blogging that I’ve lost steam. It’s actually day 27 but I’m just now writing day 25. I’m behind in work. Our social calendar has shown no mercy. My kids are melting as I type this. The laundry…oh...

I’ve never met a cookie sheet I couldn’t ruin. You may remember last year when I turned one into a magnetic board for Grace’s room… Well after I cooked pizza on one the other night and lost half of the crust I figured I would just throw the...

Confession time. I was going to let Halloween decorating sorta ‘slip by’ this year. We’re a bit crazy busy and despite the fact that I went all out last year I just wasn’t feelin’ it this year. But I didn’t take one thing into...

Grandma Jenean should have been a chef. It’s not just that she loves to cook but she loves to create dishes and her palate is never wrong. For her latest grandchild’s baby shower one of the dishes she made was Curry Chicken Salad served in lettuce cups....

I’ve made a lot of gluten free pancakes. Some have been pretty good, but these…these were amazing. I think it was partially due to the fact that I used gluten free all purpose baking mix instead of flour. Also, I used coconut oil on the griddle...
