The Birth Experience Mentoring

Just a reminder that my mentoring program will stop taking new members as of February 1, 2012. The big question I’ve been getting is will the mentoring and the forum continue?? YES! The website has said that the forum will end on February 1st but I knew I just couldn’t do that. All current members as of February 1 will still have access to the forum and mentoring. I have zero intentions of ending our group, I absolutely love it and I will stay until they kick me out! We have a fantastic group and talk about everything photography related including technical aspects, marketing, pricing, client relations, birth photography challenges, editing and much more! So why are we no longer […]

I wrestled a rude goat.

How’s that for an eye catching blog title?

With homeschooling we were able to rearrange Taryn’s therapies to times that are easier, less traffic, better for her stamina and mood. She goes to OT once per week and we started her in Equine therapy about 3 weeks ago. She absolutely LOVES it. She’s such a natural, each person who has worked with her so far has asked how long she’s been riding and are genuinely shocked to hear she’s so new at it. She looks so poised and graceful. And comfortable! She directs the horse and just has the amazing connection to horses, it’s beautiful to watch. And it is so good for her. We are already seeing big gains in […]

One large session share filled with happy energy and love, coming right up.

It’s January and that means catching up here on the blog. I love going back to sort through the images captured during the fall. This session was hands down one of my favorites because we had so much fun. I think this family is the perfect example of what happens when you relax and show up ready to have some fun during our time together. I always suggest it to clients and I KNOW it is SO hard to actually do. Everyone puts so much work in to the session, you’re spending money on it, you want the kids happy and rested and it’s a bit nerve wracking. But if you really, REALLY, just let go, relax, have fun and […]

take two

Day one was awesome, day two, more overwhelming. I underestimated the impact of having two to teach, it was still quiet and easy, just a different dynamic. Duder has been beyond excited about being homeschooled on his days home with us. I’ve been a bit worried because he’s used to having 3 full days of just me and him time. He did good today though, he loved it. He looked so flipping cute standing up with his hand over his heart saying the pledge. When we started he looked at me with big bright eyes and said “Hey, I know this!!!”. I’d say our biggest obstacle today was how much more Taryn got distracted because she was seeing what Teagan […]

Homeschooling Day 1

hahaha! Just kidding. Her glare is the result of me taking her photo, not her opinion on homeschooling day 1. We loved it, both of us, absolutely loved it! I’m so thankful to have the first day knocked out. We got a bit of a late start because we overslept but once all our boys were out the door for the day and we got started, it went so smooth. She listened well, I didn’t have to correct behavior or remind her or even redirect. She worked diligently through math, reading, writing, spelling, English, geography, civics, art/music, science, animal sciences and computer. We are still waiting […]
