last month i got to spend the morning with the cutest one year old and his super special parents. i can’t really say which was the better time…shooting the photos of this handsome boy or hanging out on the back porch of our house with his parents. both were lovely. tammy was a friend from high school…
it’s not usually a good sign when the rain starts coming down on the way to your photo shoot. i arrived at our location and immediately thought we would be rescheduling. BUT it is florida and as my brother n law often reminds me, wait five minutes if you don’t like the weather, b/c it…

dear e, the past eight years have flown by much too quickly. my heart changed in unspoken ways the moment i became a mother. this year seems extra sentimental to me as you enter a new phase of life. you are not quite a little girl anymore, but not quite a teen-aged girl either. i certainly see…
it is always a treat to get to know the families i photograph. this family lives down the street from me, but in the short seven months we have lived here, i had not met them. life gets busy and before you know it months fly by. i am so glad that our photo date…
it’s time for another week of project 52. for this week’s theme we are to explain a person–anything but their face. i was going to use a picture i got earlier in the year of my youngest with her baby doll, which i do love b/c it tells so much about her at this phase…
