Yesterday I learned a valuable lesson: if you have had a stomach bug for a week and it is still in the stages of don’t-venture-further-than-10-feet-from-a-restroom, do not go mountain biking. But it was my only day off of work with Isaac, so I figured what the heck? I thought that I would feel better once…
As an ex-coffee drinker, I no longer get excited about the oh-so-popular Pumpkin Spice Latte making its grand reentrance this fall. Instead, the photographer in me is excited about gorgeous backdrops. The writer/reader in me can’t wait for the chilly weather excuse to stay inside all weekend curled up with my laptop and a book.…
My phone’s face time feature connected with my sisters’. Liam gasped and said “who’s dat!?” Char and I burst into laughter, he had never said that before! How funny, innocent, and surprising a 16 month old can be. This boy has stolen my whole heart! I could not be more thankful to live in a…

Challenge: Today! This week’s theme is a bit different (but you like that, don’t you?) – it’s about TODAY. This day. The day you’re reading and reacting to this post. Get your camera out, right now, and snap a picture to share with everyone! Sometimes I have a hard time getting through the day without a…
Blue sky, blue water, and a baby with the blues.
Challenge: Sun. We’ve done sunset before, but what about when the sun, in its full glory, is the feature of your photo? This is a photograph that I took for my friends, Kim and Brandon. I love a good sunburst shot, and I wanted this one to emphasize the baby she was carrying. I like how…
