I am opting out of my usual top 10 this year. Instead I chose a favorite image of each of the kids. I realize how they have grown and changed. For Ty, it was the year he grew (and ATE!), the year he became a better friend, read about 700 pages per week, entered middle school, got his first girlfriend and a cell phone. He learned about bullies, about the importance of choosing good friends, about being a better friend. He is thoughtful, and kind. He loves a good, long hug and time away just for him with either of us. He’s loud and rowdy and so much fun. 2010 will bring him to an official teenager. The phone will […]

Life in Motion Photography: 10 on Tuesday | Austin Photographer

I’ve been hiding out, working like a crazy person to get caught up and try to mark off about a million things on my todo list for this month. I’m working on a lot of back end stuff for our business and it means I’m struggling with work/family balance (again). The 3 am bedtimes over the last week have gotten to me. Poking my head out to do a quick 10 on Tuesday…..

1. I was going through some client files last night proofing and came across a bunch of personal photos that were on the same card I’d totally forgot where there. Sometimes, if I am early to a session or have a few extra minutes, I’ll stop along the […]

I knew I wanted to make a collage of my iphone pics at the end of the year. thank you Michelle Nicoloff for this post, it totally inspired me 🙂

these moments would have been missed. gone before i grabbed my camera. too lazy to get up and go get it. little blurbs. little glimpses. of my people, my loves. these are the moments in my mind, even more so than the properly exposed and processed ones. imperfect, real. i got my iphone in july. i love it. i love that it forces me to accept the imperfections. i not only accept them, i embrace them. and i forgive myself for it. maybe that is why so many people are […]

Every day. Twice a day. At least.

I miss the one photo a day, this is what we do, document our lives, one day at a time mentality around here.

don’t let these sweet little faces fool you. these two are always up to something. al-ways. snapped this at the door as I dropped her off for a playdate this morning. these girls will drop their respective mom’s like a hot potato if it means they get to be together. I think we’re on playdate #3 between our houses for the week…..inseperable these two (wasn’t this just yesterday?!). If they aren’t together, they are asking to be.

T never takes off her half of their best friends necklace (Carol you did awesome with that gift btw!!). Oh, and yes, T also informed me that Alli is a better Mom than me […]
