Therapy

I was recently commiserating with a mom during soccer practice. She mentioned that she is stressed and I absentmindly agreed with her…and as soon as I said it, I backtracked and corrected

We told her it was freezing… she didn’t believe us.

A Walk in the light. {52 week blog project – week 3}

It may seem that Em wants to be in front of the camera at all times and that is just not the case. For instance, tonight while on a walk, she was ready to go home. I, of course , was in

{Rock the Shot – Favorite of 2012}

Here we are in the doldrum of  January. The month that greets almost all photographers with dread.. those photographers who have barely recovered from a busy season are crossing their fingers that

Little getaway – {52 week project – week 1}

We escaped after the holidays. We escaped the confines of the very messy house filled with way too many toys. I live for my family but more often then not the duties of life run the show over here.

Bring it on 2013

I know I am supposed to say something prolific on this day. A day where we acknowledge what we yearn to change , what we are determined to improve about ourselves.  2012 has taught me so much. It has
