Erin Cobb made me do it. She drew me in with her shiny press printed book and talk of real moments and real memories and day to day photos with meaning and simplicity. I can’t resist any of those things. Especially since on the day she posted, I had been looking through my strikingly empty personal photo folders. It hit me. Hard. Yes, I have a good reason for not photographing my family all that much this year. Yes, we were busy, we were struggling, we had dark days. But you know what, there were shimmers of hope, even on the darkest day and I cannot convince myself that I couldn’t have found one single beautiful moment to […]

My eyes are crossing as I sit here and finish up editing a session tonight…but I have to come share this before I forget….

Teagan and I took off to Office Depot for a few office supplies this morning. I decided to skip the cart and let him walk because he was acting fatigued, I wanted to get him moving. We made our way through Office Depot and then stopped next door at Michaels. Normally I would never face Michaels and a toddler on the loose sans cart, but he was being really good and while he stopped to look at and touch every.single.thing at his level, I couldn’t face the fit that would come with putting him in the cart.

Oh Bob. Bob, Bob, Bob. Your camera is fresh out of the box….a newborn? Already? Really? A website? So soon? What do you charge Bob? And that logo, that looks a little familiar Bob. And hey, where did you get all the wording on your website???

Sigh…..I swear you can’t throw a rock in Austin without hitting a photographer.

Sometimes I wonder what in the world goes on around here when I’m not looking. Socks in weird places make me go hmmmm.

2. My kids are so addicted to these right now. Especially Teagan. Obsessed.

3. This morning I stopped at my desk to pick something up and noticed there was still solid ice in my favorite cup that had been sitting from the night before. First, I thought to myself, wow, this cup really IS awesome. Second, I thought to myself, I wonder what time I actually went to bed…. Third, I thought to myself, I wonder if Ty did this to be sweet, he IS always bring me water refills. Turns out […]
