Sometimes in life you have those friends you’d do anything for. Cody and Christy are those friends to me. There isn’t much about college that I remember that didn’t involve Cody in some manner or another – he’s been my buddy for almost 13 years.
Cody bounded into my life in one summer afternoon in 1997. [...]
First I have to start out by saying… Julie is 6 months old!! It happens so quickly and it’s amazing how big children get at this stage. She is just learning how to sit up by herself (still falls over often though), loves chewing on her feet, and even has two teeth now!
About 2 weeks [...]
The Lacey Fire Department holds a special place in my heart… after all, it is where a good majority of my social circle works and where my husband has chosen to make a career. I give a lot of volunteer time to the department not only because it means a lot to me on a [...]
It’s hard to believe, but Julie is already two months old! It’s been a fun and difficult two months with my newest little one. While in some respects she is totally healthy and happy, she has also struggled with some lingering breathing issues left over from birth and severe reflux. Never again will I ever [...]
A few days ago I wrote a blog post about how my photography isn’t all about photoshop. I truly believe that in order to provide a strong final product, you have to have a strong raw product to begin with. Too many photographers are scared to show their straight out of camera shots. It’s kind [...]
Rebecca is my wonderful assistant. Seriously, she keeps me working at a consistent pace on a wedding day and I’d be much more disorganzied if it wasn’t for her. I adore her! She is also an aspiring photographer who is taking a slow-and-steady pace towards her development as a photographer. Recently her husband Jake started [...]
If you have children then you know that if it gets quiet they are getting into trouble. It’s just how it is; especially with toddlers.
Today, I was making lunch when it was eerily quiet in the house. Julie was in her swing taking a nap, but Maggie was no where to be found. A quick [...]
The last two weeks have been a bit arduous for me.
I’m a mom of a little newborn and a rambunctious 3 year old, I have a business to run, a household to keep, and I’m still recovering from two surgeries in the last 8 weeks. But add in the fact that my husband, Jason, headed [...]
I’ve been lost in my new-mommy-sleep-deprivation-blissed-out-haze lately… but I’m slowly starting to emerge to realize that the world still exists outside my house! Which means my little break from blogging is officially over! I’m so lucky that I have amazing photographer friends who have come over and taken multiple portraits of my beautiful new little [...]
It’s ironic that on the day I officially go on maternity leave, it is also the day I end up having a baby!
Yesterday morning, at 3:30 am, I went into labor! Everything went quickly and Jason and I pulled into the hospital at 7:45 am with contractions less than a minute 30 apart. Our new [...]
