Sweet Maggie, You. You are a gift.  Every laugh.  Every smile.  Every incredibly witty comment.  Gift. Your thoughtfulness overwhelms me.  Your kindness humbles me.  Your heart inspires me. Having you around this summer will forever be one of my best memories from this year.  Little conversations amidst piles of never-ending laundry.  Echoes of giggles from […]

Pillow fights, jumping on hotel beds and sleepy boys.  The stuff dreams and the best getaways are made of…

Smiles were everywhere. Cameras flashed.  Memories were made.  Dance floors were rocked.  Even in the middle of a downpour. Because these two…these two make it so you can’t help but smile.  Their love is the kind we all long for and you can’t help but cheer for when you see it.  Their love can withstand […]

My soul has been tired.  And somewhat discouraged. It’s easy to get caught up in all the “ought-tos”.  The comparisons.  The “I’m not enoughs…”  To land smack dab in a rut. I knew I needed to do something.  A shoot just for me. So I called her… This lady? She inspires me to the very […]

It’s time. Maybe you’ve been waiting…debating…contemplating…but still putting it off.  It’s an easy thing to do. Because timing isn’t perfect.  We haven’t reached our target weight.  We don’t have this or that.  Things just aren’t ‘right’. Well…they never will be. But…your life?  It IS beautiful.  And it’s worth celebrating.  And it’s worth not having it […]

i get by with a little help from my friends…

You can do anything, but not everything. – David Allen   The past few weeks this has bounced around my mind like a super ball in a rubber room.  Yes…I just went there. It has haunted me.  Questioned me.  Relieved me.  And challenged me. And above all – it’s made me realize that it’s time. […]

it’s time…

Prepare yourself. I won’t do it too often. But… I’m about to completely overwhelm you with my little ones’ cuteness. Indulge me. This next picture is my favorite.  It was my way of capturing his story…  My little miracle.  The baby I never thought would make it…made it.  And I could not be more grateful.  […]

lately…

I love her.  To pieces. Her heart for her friends.  Her depth.  Her sweetness.  Her amazing sense of style and fashion.  Her honesty.  And her love of Starbucks… So of course I was thrilled to get to spend the day with her documenting the fact that she’s a SENIOR. Taylor, I adore you. To the […]

I couldn’t resist the moment. I wished I had them dressed in cute corresponding outfits, but t-shirts were their attire. And you know what? No big deal. Because this moment happened. And now I can look back on it forever.
