It was 4 years ago today that Randolph and I first became parents. We welcomed to the world our beautiful Avery Mae on July 15th, 2014 and she came out loud and fierce! Every day since she has proved to be strong, opinionated, and an energetic force who also manages to live life with love, […]
On April 11th at 7:46am we were again blessed with the arrival of a beautiful baby girl! Olivia Cruz weighed in at 8lbs 3oz and just over 20 inches long. We are all absolutely smitten with this new little bundle of joy, and our oldest daughter is especially over the moon. She was born to […]
This year my husband and little one will be rubbing elbows with the big cheese himself over Christmas. That’s right….Mickey Mouse and the most magical place on Earth, Disney World! And although we will be sharing it with some of our family members, others will not be able to come. Last year our little Avery […]
When I was a young girl, I can recall a day when I watched my father slowly walk up and down our long country driveway methodically bending down, standing up, bending down, standing up, and so on. I watched for a while from our storm door as it lightly rained and tried to figure out […]
This year, my mom is celebrating her 50th Mother’s Day! How amazing is that?!? It’s hard to believe that 50 years ago she brought her first child (out of five) into this world. In comparison, i’ll only be celebrating my 3rd Mother’s Day! But there is no better mentor I could possibly have. I’m pretty […]
I am a mother to a brave, bold, strong, opinionated, and absolutely wonderful little girl. She is the light of my life. Everyday she brings me wonder and joy. And everyday she brings challenges as well. Being a mother is such an emotional rollercoaster, but there is nothing I have done or plan to do […]
Christmas Tree…..check! Candy Canes……check! Warm Donuts….check! Holiday cheer……check, check! What could possibly be better?!?!?! Happy Holidays to all and safe travel to those getting together with family and loved ones!
Wow. Look at this good looking group! Family Vacation 2016 was extra special this year as it was a time to get together with everyone to not only bond but to also celebrate 50 magical years of marriage for our parents. 50 YEARS!!! Amazing to think about! We all piled onto a very large houseboat […]
It is rare that I will have a Saturday off so why not spend it watching pigs roll around in mud and picking sunflowers? I love being a photographer, but one of the sacrifices that you make is that it’s difficult to find a family weekends to spend together. But a chance came up this […]
My sweet baby girl turned 2 today and it was so amazing to capture her little (ok, BIG) personality while surrounded by friends and family. Thanks to my sidekick husband, I even had a chance to be in a few pictures as well! Time goes by so quickly and it is hard to remember how […]
