A few weeks ago I was at a Peninsula Pilots game with my church and the lady in front of me introduced herself.  “Hi, I’m Wendy.  You’re doing my family pictures next week!”  Let me tell you– that is the coolest thing ever.  I knew we went to the same church, but I’d never met […]

Last night I posted this picture on Instagram while in the middle of a paleo freezer meal frenzy.  Since then I’ve been inundated with messages & posts asking for recipes & how we went about it!  I started writing a post a few months ago but I ended up too overwhelmed & never finished it.  […]

For the last 15 days we’ve had various family members in town.  Most people would be pretty worn down at this point, but we absolutely love having family visit us!  All of our immediate families live close to each other so it’s more practical for us to visit them on holidays and such.  But… it’s […]

Earlier this year I met with Amanda Hedgepeth to pick her brain on workflow, getting published, and business in general.  She is awesome & totally a wealth of information!  She’s a busy momma as well, so I knew she’d have some great ideas to speed up my workflow– and she totally did!  Two words: Photo […]

Sweet 16 parties get a bad rep on TV these days.  You see all the craziness and drama, but this one was definitely different!  Two parents putting tons of love & effort into make it a very special birthday party for their daughter, turning 16, and their son, turning 13.  And the kids?  Totally thankful.  […]

My last editing related post was a huge hit and many people asked for more, so… here it is! I didn’t have a great chance to photography fireworks on July 4th because I had a two year old in my lap for most of it.  She wasn’t too keen on them, poor thing, but afterwards […]

I met Sarah online when we first moved to Virginia & since then we’ve traded out photo session for each other.  In fact, one of our maternity images she took is on a canvas in our living room!  And like any smart momma, she knew that her son’s birthday would be fun-filled & a little […]

You know those special holidays when you were growing up?  For me, it was Christmas Eve, Fourth of July, and the Ramp Convention.  We won’t get into that last one right now except to say that I grew up in the south.  🙂  But the Fourth of July was always a biggie.  The whole extended […]

Oh my goodness… can we say gorgeous??  Tracey can certainly rock it out at 8 months pregnant in the scorching heat!  I have no idea how she kept her hair looking so good, but I need that secret!  We showed you their baby shower for baby Lillian awhile back, and now here’s their maternity session. […]

Another #tbt and this one is of a squishy newborn!  I have to say, I’m a big fan of Miss Cedar.  As another mom whose kid has a tree name, I like her style.  🙂 Here is Miss C in all her glory!And… motherhood.
