Birthday Boy

So, I’ve decided to make this blog a little more personal. It’s too cold and stale for me. Don’t get me wrong – the sneak peeks aren’t cold and stale. I love them! I just think there needs to be more. I want to interact with my readers (if I have any!) so I can get to know you and so you can get to know me. So with that, meet my son…

Kindergarten, and age 5, definitely changed him. He’s becoming more and more of a “boy”. He loves to play: Lego’s, army, and army with Lego’s. He loves Star Wars – oh but that’s not new. The Husband introduced him to the original Trilogy at age 3. A little young for me, but he handled it well and has been a SW fan from that day forward. He loves the dirt, the mud, and exploring.

My pride and joy recently turned 6. It sounds so cliché to say something like “it’s amazing at how fast he has grown up”, but it’s TRUE! He’s still my baby and always will be. He’s sweet, he’s smart, he’s thoughtful. He is my heart outside of my body. When I was a child my mom used to tell me, “I love you more than you’ll ever know.” She was right. Now it’s my turn to tell him, “I love you more than you’ll ever know.”

My friend and fellow photographer, Holly Bonner, took pictures of his party for me. If you have kids and you’ve tried to be in the moment and take pictures at the same time, you know that it’s pretty much impossible. So thank you, Holly! Thank you for letting me be in the moment.

The cupcakes – right after I iced them, but before the sprinkles.


With his friend (or as he calls her, his “girlfriend”). They’re a whopping 13 days apart. The husband and I went to college with her parents, which means we’ve known each other FOREVER. I look at this photo and I can’t help but see them as teenagers walking side-by-side just like this.


and last but not least…..I bet you can’t guess who won the musical chairs contest?! And NO, it was not fixed!!

These sweet little boys were born very early and after four months are finally home from the hospital. Mr. C decided he’d sack out for me right away and get his session over with, but his brother, Mr. P thought otherwise. He either figured a) I couldn’t be trusted so he was having no part of sleeping for his session, or b) he couldn’t get enough of me and wanted me to come back the next day. I’d like to think that he loved me so much he wanted me to come back. =)

Thank you so much mom and dad for choosing me to photograph these sweet loves of yours! It was such an honor and I can’t wait for you to see the rest!

Why the name change?

I wrote this up 3 weeks ago and didn’t realize I never published it. Oops!

I’m sure several of you might be wondering why I changed the name of my business. There are a couple of reasons, but the main one is that it felt right. It was a change that I felt strongly needed to happen, so I did it and I couldn’t be happier about it.
