I have a lot of Gratituesday ideas stirring in my head, but today’s has been at the forefront of my mind for the past few days.

I am excited about my first 365 photo project and I just kicked it off by posting my first photo of 2010. I’d love it if you followed along with me over at flickr!

This year was crazy for me. Fantastic and terrible all at the same time. My dreams came true and so have a nightmare or two. But I am a better person because of it. I look back on 2009 as a year of personal growth and I love it. I have always loved to learn...

That’s a wrap!
My 2009 year of sessions, that is. I finished up 2009 with a last minute (due to the upcoming deployment) wedding on Saturday and a 60th wedding anniversary party Sunday (sneak peeks coming shortly!). And if I do say so myself, it was an awesome way to close out the year -...

The holidays are in full swing around here! All print orders have been placed and (almost all) sessions have been completed. I’ve got one more wedding, one more event, and one more session on the calendar this week to help wrap up 2009. Then… then! My vacation begins. (Well, sort of.)
Tommy and I...

I was sitting in my sister’s kitchen a few weekends ago just watching the scene around me. Her four kiddos (5 and under) were all sitting in their seats around the table. Her husband was handing plates out left and right and appeared to be juggling ten things at once, yet loving life. The lighting...
