My baby girl is growing up. It’s funny, I don’t notice it so much day by day, but when I put her in front of the camera it hits me like a brick wall.

After 7 years of living in our house and having our backyard be a boring empty slate….we’ve started a few projects in our backyard. Ty decided he wanted in on it and build our first project, a backyard digger construction zone for the little kids. He did an amazing job on it too! You can see the before shot HERE. This was a low cost DIY project, coming in at around $75 for the whole thing, including new digger trucks, the wood frame, pea gravel and stones! And Ty did it all, start to finish, including purchasing all the materials (driving his new truck […]

9 and awesome. Loves dragons, can be found with her nose in a book 9 times out of 10. She’s constantly creating, imagining, crafting, sewing, wishing she could fly. She keeps me on my toes, that hasn’t changed a single day in the last 9 years.

Our Camping Trip

My best memories growing up in Oregon revolve around going camping as a child with my dad, and also, my grandparents. I love everything about it. So when my mom suggested that instead of our usual girls trip to New Orleans over memorial day, we hunt for a cabin in the woods and take the whole family camping instead, I jumped on it. It’s hard for our family of six to travel. We had to give it up for awhile as when we’d travel after Jude’s vaccine injury, he’d regress, have demyelination and various chemical sensitivity reactions. We’ve tried a few small trips within driving distance in the last year and he’s done amazingly well. We haven’t taken the whole […]

I got brave and decided to venture out and take my own kids to frolic in the bluebonnets and capture them. The light was so pretty, all warm and glowing. And they did awesome. It reminded me that I need to take them out for photos together more often. I’ve been seriously slacking in that department, relying on my iphone and Samsung 300nx (which I looooove btw). Life is busy. Jonah is uber busy lol. They were awfully good to me this night. The first photo, is just so them, their personalities embodied. And the last one WILL be big in my house somewhere. […]

my fabulous mess

This girl is my fabulous mess. I have a slew of these to edit, but need to catch up on client galleries and ordering first. She’s looking SO much healthier since we took her out of school. I have had some people ask how homeschool is going. It’s going GREAT. I love it, they love it, our lives are so much less stressful. I worried about adding yet another thing to my already full plate, but truly, it has allowed us to slow down in so many other ways, life is much more simple now. And that simplicity gives me more time that I can […]
