Excited cannot even describe half the feeling I had when a fellow photographer reached out to me to second shoot her brother’s wedding.  I have been DREAMING of the day I got a bride and groom in front of my lens.  This was it!  This was my chance to see if I had what it […]

Friday is my birthday!!!  I love birthdays sooo much and realize that this birthday number is not all that special, but I am bound and determined to make 31 the best year yet.  Let’s start the year off right and get to know each other on a deeper level.  🙂 Here are 31 things about […]

Family time today consisted of a mini photo shoot for Declan.  He is 9 months old and all I can say is “CRAZY!”  I cannot believe 9 months have already flown by.  I feel like if I blink I can go back to the day he was born.  It is still so fresh in my […]

When I think of toddlers, I immediately think of that movie “Up” where someone says “squirrel” all the dogs lose focus and are off.  They are fully engaged exploring the world around them.
