Last year Huffington Post shared a wonderful article by a mom who, like many of us, didn’t want to be photographed because she felt fat or unmade or just not “her best” but who forced herself into the photo for the sake of her children. That post, Mom Stays in the Picture, is a worthy…
This fall I will have been a family portrait photographer for a decade and a mother for two decades. Wow! I am ashamed to say that for the first time in those twenty years of motherhood and ten years of professional photography I took our family photos OFF my hard-drive and into my life. And…
Oh, my baby bug. How did she turn into my big-girl bug so fast? HOW? She turned seven last month and I can barely believe it. I came across this photo today and I was transported back. I remember that blankie, those socks, that monkey and especially that thumb, firmly planted in her mouth. I…
Time to get caught up on my 365. I couldn’t quite narrow down the photos from 5/365 and 6/365 because we happened to be at my cousin’s wedding in Minnesota and then enjoying some family Christmas fun with my wonderful big ol’ family.

Oh, such hard choosing! We read the entries as a family and everyone had a something to say. The girls loved the nominations with contributions by the children. Isaiah loved the artist mom. I did too. We all liked the story of the single mom with four kids. Pretty much loved them all! Alas, only…
I had a most wonderful Mother’s Day. Truly: -I woke up to a nice breakfast (well, a bowl of oatmeal, because I am allergic to Gluten, Egg and Dairy, so poor Brian had a limited menu to choose from) -Went to a sweet little event in Lydia’s Sunday school class. -Listened to Miss Alayneous sing…
