Ty’s Day
He’s 11. Wow, it’s funny how the older we both get, his birthdays are making me feel older than my own. Of course, we’ll tell Ty’s birth story in our house today, it’s a favorite. Big party today, we’re all ready for it. I’ve talked with Taryn every day for the last week and think we’ve come to an understanding about birthday cake candles. Guess we’ll find out huh? I thought it would be fun to post a few of my favorite images of Ty from the past year. He’s grown sooooooo much, probably more than any other year height wise. Turning 10, a full year ago, seeing his new drums (and he still plays them too!) Happy Birthday […]
A few things you need to know if you’re gonna live in Texas.
Queso is considered a food group. "Howdy" means "Hi, how are ya?" and usually includes a nod of the head. Go ahead, try it out, bet you can’t do it without the nod. And cowboy hats….well….they’re big here. But, its windy….so you best hold on to hat…. A few other favorites… when you are 18 months old, smelling pretty flowers includes puckering =) And since I haven’t shared an entire session in quite a while, and because I love them all, CLICK HERE. Lily is one amazing little girl, I just adore her and we are so lucky to have such wonderful friends in her parents! ps – I’ll be posting about Ty’s birthday tomorrow, then I’ll sit down and […]
Quote of the Day
While baking cookies this morning…. Taryn: Mommy, can I eat this? ((pointing to cookie dough))Me: No, T, we have to cook it first.Taryn: Just one little taste?Me: Nope.Taryn: I just want to lick it Mommy?Me: Nope, we have to cook it first.Taryn: Mommy, I want to tell you sumthinMe: What’s that?Taryn: Mommy, I want to be by myself with these cookies. HAHA! Not even kid, but nice try!! I noticed the pretty light outside before dinner was ready. I told myself that if it was still that pretty after we ate, I’d go out for a few shots. We missed the best of it, the light was just dancing off the tall grass in the field down the street, so […]
ask me anything
Ok, so I thought I would post this thread, even though it feels a little silly to me. I get a ton of emails with lots of different questions, everything you can imagine, personal, business, photography related, you name it. I’m embarrassed to admit that I presently have 499 messages in my inbox (it was 852 until I cleaned some out last night). I’m even more embarrassed to admit that there are quite a few of those messages with questions that I’ve not replied to. I have good intentions, I really do. I open them and then promise myself I’ll go back when I have two free hands (which is kind of rare around here) so that I can quickly […]

10 on Tuesday
and it’s actually Tuesday, how about that?! 1. Our lives feel like total chaos right now. Maybe it’s the fact that summer is here and that means more time outside, more go, go, go. Maybe its the fact that our business just opened up this week, officially, and its been a lot of work getting things ready to go. Ty’s birthday party coming up, Jase is busy with work, Taryn’s taken a liking to using her outside voice 24/7, which Teagan is not liking. And Teagan is teetering on that 4 month growth spurt, it’s coming, and the thought of it makes me tired. He’ll want to nurse non-stop. He’s been really fussy the last few days, thankfully, I ordered […]
