eloped

I am overjoyed for these two and I’m so excited to share this with you!! I’ve had to keep this a secret for so long and I’m so horrible at it! But I did it and now I can finally share with all of you and scream – MY FRIENDS LEE ANN AND ALLAN GOT MARRIED!!! And I got to be there!!! Now technically, I don’t usually take on weddings, but when one of my very dear friends confided they were eloping and really wanted to hire me, I couldn’t say no. Lee Ann just isn’t a friend I can say no too. She’s just that amazing friend who loves you […]

seven years

Dr. Schwab asked me the other day how long Jase and I have been married. I fumbled and then said….uh, I’m not sure, a long time!? HA! Jase always knows, bless him, he does. Then he confessed that he takes Taryn’s age and adds one since she was our honeymoon baby. Well DUH! Why didn’t I think of that?!?! From now on, I’ll know, it’s embedded. I may not have known how long we have been married, but I do know how much we have been married. A lot. Intentional, yet difficult at times, it has not been an easy 7 years for us. Between hurricanes and moving and kids and […]

5 on Tuesday cause I don’t have 10 in me.

1. Only 5 on Tuesday because I’m barely trucking along on less than 3 hours of sleep. After Ty’s game last night he got hurt messing around on the sidelines. Hurt to the tune of an ER trip after a sharp piece of metal dove in to the palm of his hand. Ouch. I am not a fan of hospital or ER’s as they tend to question our crunchy ways. Or really, I tend to question their medical ways a bit more than they are used to and it ruffles feathers and I’m one of “those” people. Works for me, I like to read labels on medicine bottles and question the necessity of medical interventions. But I’d rather avoid it […]

undefeated

His team won their final game of the season tonight!!!!. His final game at Wiley. In fact, his team has not lost one single solitary game in the middle school careers. That’s pretty huge around here. 7th and 8th grade are allowed to play in middle school….undefeated last year and this year. So these kids have not experienced a single loss. While I think losing can build character, I also think it’s a pretty amazing feat for these kids as they have worked so hard. What a huge accomplishment! I’m very proud of him and the rest of his team. Way to go Coyotes!!!! And just like that, we get our […]

little is big

We had a few things working against us tonight, like the fact that when we showed up to the location is was *dark* thanks to some big black clouds. And very windy. And little was passed out in the car, exhausted. Oh, and I just so happened to bust it mid session, ouch! Thankfully, my clients rock and everyone over 3 refrained from laughing 😉 Despite our challenges, everything came together. We just went with it, had fun and as it turns out, this is one of those sessions I couldn’t wait to fly home and download. I love love love so many of them already! This is the 3rd year […]

happy

One thing I love about working so much this fall is now having more room so that I get to meet new families too! This one had me smiling a lot during our time on South Congress. This momma requested a close up image of Carmen, looking right in to her soul, images of her REAL laugh, funny faces and Mathilde the dog not panting. Mathilde is one of the best behaved dogs I’ve ever photographed, especially for being downtown on the busy streets. […]
