I’m headed to the Nashville airport on this last morning of 2010 so that I can fly to Chicago to photograph the wedding of one of my college girls, Becky — but more about that early next week when I have pictures to show!  Right now, I’m just hoping to stay awake on my drive [...]

Juliana’s one-on-one date this month happens to be one of the simplest I’ve done in awhile, yet one of my favorites so far.  We went to Starbucks, not for coffee (can you believe I gave up caffeine two months ago?!?) but for a little snack and a lot of talking time. Juliana is the middle [...]

For Aviean’s one-on-one date this month, we went to the mall!  Our town has a tiny little mall; if you wanted to do real shopping, you’d definitely have to go to the nearest “big city.”  But for the purposes of our “date,” I knew our mall would do just fine! We started off by going [...]

For Olivia’s one-on-one date this month, we went to mail some packages together!  Olivia is very into “mail” these days.  She’s fascinated by the idea of the Post Office and the mailbox outside of my house.  I had a few small Christmas packages I needed to send out, so I knew Olivia would love getting [...]

For Angelina’s one-on-one date this month, we headed to our favorite store — Target!  I had a couple of things I need to pick up for my house and there’s no one that enjoys shopping for cleaning products at Target more than Angelina. We were both hungry when we arrived, so we stopped at the [...]

For MacKenzie’s December one-on-one date, I took her to the local hospital to visit one of my college girls’ new baby (fun story: this college girl married exactly one year before the birth of her baby — wild, right?!?).  I knew that MacKenzie loves both my college girls and babies, so it was the perfect [...]

I’ve known Kristian for years now, ever since she started volunteering with a ministry I used to work with in my earlier twenties.  When Kristian told me she was married and asked me to photograph her wedding, I was ecstatic!  We met up on a cold day recently to shoot some engagement pictures since her [...]

As I was going through a file tonight, I realized that I had a few more pictures I had meant to post of the girls’ Christmas!  So, in no particular order, here’s another look at our Christmas together, including a glimpse of your favorite: footie pajamas! The Friday that MacKenzie got out of school, I [...]

When I woke up this morning, I was agitated and still felt very overwhelmed when it came to the girls.  I tried to do some things around the house but I couldn’t concentrate on my chores.  I finally decided to make myself sit down and think about what it was that was stressing me out. [...]

Not too long ago, I had a very long and painful ultrasound done to find out if cysts were continuing to grow in my ovaries or not.  At one point, as they were doing measurements and I propped myself up on my elbows to watch, in that same position that women instinctively know to take [...]
