So. I kind of disappeared for a bit. A lot happened. I turned 30. I built the most amazing train track ever with my kids. I attended Jasmine Star’s “the Fix” and admitted to an entire room of people that I didn’t have friends yet. I did a lot of journaling. I was challenged by […]

I like to hide. You’d think it were a favorite past-time of mine. Because, at the end of the day, I like to live in a small little world I create where everybody loves Amy.  Where there are only nice things to be said about me.  And about my work. The problem?  There’s not much […]

You deserve the world. And this weekend locked doors, broken washing machines and a head-injury prone 3 year old left me without a chance to leave you a gift to remind you of that fact. To know…. That I am grateful that I get to walk through life with you. And that I would have […]

Oh 2011.  You brought some people into my life for whom I will ALWAYS be grateful.  I remember every moment I had the privilege of spending with them and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. For you precious couples that entrusted me with this moment in your lives – of planning, loving, bridesmaids’ dresses, […]

Amidst stitches, wheel-chairs, nurses, IVs and a host of other hospital room paraphernalia, love filled the room. […]

Sweet baby A,   Oh little man…  Your mommy and daddy are amazing.  AMAZING. Those two love you with everything they’ve got.  Please don’t ever forget it. Your mommy was a rockstar.  She focused through contractions and your daddy was always there, supporting her, encouraging her and excitedly awaiting your arrival. For some reason though…you […]

I have been meaning to write this post for nearly a year. Yep, an entire year. I find that sometimes – when something means SO much to me…when it transforms who I am…when it literally is a part of changing my life – I can’t find words that begin to express all that is going […]

First of all, thank you to the moon and back for your patience.  And for your prayers for Ryan and Kalyn… Just now, I cranked out an old school drawing and we have some winners:   The Atlanta Couples’ Session goes to: Torie MacDonald (and her husband) The itunes gift card goes to: Lisa Schulz […]

yesterday I held her hand.  there was nothing else I could do. one of my precious couples had their worlds turned upside down. they were in a car accident. precious Kalyn has a broken collar bone and lots of bruises. Ryan was ejected from the car and is currently in the ICU with serious head […]
