A beautiful mother

I stood in line today behind a beautiful young mother. Her two children, a boy and girl around 4 and 6 years old, stood with her. She talked to them casually as she made a quick phone call. She waited patiently for them to move in line with her. She giggled at the silly things [...]

Exposed.

I am probably going to regret this post the second I hit publish. In fact, I don’t even know if I will hit publish. Will. Be.. Brave… Here goes! As mothers, we tend to focus solely on our husbands and children, and as photographers, we are ALWAYS behind the camera. Needless to say, there are [...]

Hipstamatic… oh Yeah!

So the last couple days have been a bit insane. And a bit annoying. And the week is just getting started. I’m trying to see the humor in the tantrums, mis-recorded doctor appointments, out of stock pharmacies, and two different rashes that have popped up on each of the boys. Tomorrow I’ll call the pediatrician, [...]

Fabric Dyeing = Accidental Hippie Onsie

I got the crafty bug awhile ago and have been itching to do some projects. Step one was my first attempt at fabric dyeing. I have to say the results weren’t quite what I was hoping for, but I had fun in the process! I started with some old shirts and some plain white [...]
