CHRISTMAS PHOTOSHOOT - 2020

I always look forward to our annual Christmas photoshoot. I enjoy capturing photos from our days and take a lot of them. :) But it’s actually pretty uncommon for all of us to be in a photo together at the same time. I love that each season of life is documented in some way. Each year, our photo has a story to tell along with it. 2020 hit us hard like so many others, but our joy, closeness, and love for one another is fuller, stronger, and greater than it ever has been. I love seeing this captured in these photos…

PRINTING THE MOMENT WITH CANVAS ON DEMAND

Having photos around the house of our family throughout the years is important to me. I want the boys to have constant reminders of moments they have little to no memory of. I want them to be able to look at a photo and see the love and happiness that has been constant in our family…

RELIVING THE MOMENT WITH CHATBOOKS

Life moves really fast. Emet is about to have his 3rd birthday, Abner is almost 6 months old, Calvin and I are celebrating 11 years of marriage. It’s all gone by so quickly and the truth is, it only seems to be picking up speed. Sometimes it's hard to stop and enjoy the moment, forgetting in the busyness of life that memories are being made…

SOUTH OF THE BORDER - SC

On our way home from North Carolina, we decided to stop by the infamous South of the Border. If you haven't heard of it, just drive on I-95 and you'll see advertisements for 100 miles in each direction. I remember stopping there as a child and it being kinda creepy and deserted…

There's nothing like the mountains. When you are surrounded by them, I love how they put you into perspective and make you feel small. They have a way of making life simpler. I love the fresh crisp air…
