You precious people.  You joined me in celebrating Ted and reading my secret and dancing with me.  And I plan on responding to each of you as soon as I have a spare moment for email.  It made it even sweeter that you were all in on it with me. I realize you might be […]

Today he would be three.  I cannot write words as eloquently as his mom, so I ask you to go read hers. Precious Gavin contracted pertussis just days before he would have been able to be vaccinated.  He, like so many other sweet little ones, was exposed to an adult carrying the virus who had […]

Hi there, love… You’re out there reading this – I know you are.  Because you promise that you read my blog.  And if it seems like you haven’t by the end of today, I will have made up some sort of excuse as to why I need you to proof it.  (If that happened, I […]

A few weeks ago I traded the role of photographer to become a client.  And I’m CRAZY GRATEFUL for that experience.  Not only do I now have pictures that mean the world to me (and pictures that I’m ACTUALLY IN with my kids) but I also learned a lot about what my clients (and anyone’s […]

Most of the notes have gone out and a few are still in the process of being sent. It hurts.  I know I didn’t provide an experience that let all of you amazing clients know just how much you mean to me.  I want to sincerely apologize.  With my whole self.  I simply was not […]

I love you. Marrying you was my favorite decision I ever made.  And the best. Happy birthday, love.  You are an incredible man.  And I cannot wait to see how you will change the world.  You’ve already changed mine. With all of my heart…  (Maybe not my mind – but that’s simply due to the […]

These two are some of the kindest, most loving, hilarious, fun-loving, AMAZING people in the entire universe.  And it just so happens that everyone involved in their wedding followed suit. (PS: Still reeling from all the GORGEOUS details Peach and her team of heroes put together.  Please hug her for me!) Lauren and Joe – […]
