Father’s Day, that one day of the year that we are to show appreciation for all the fathers out there. Personally, I think that we should show our appreciation more than one day out of the year. I feel the same way about Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day. If you love and appreciate someone, this […]

Just recently I had the pleasure of teaming up with a long-time client of mine. Her daughter had just turned ten and she wanted to commemorate that special year with family portraits. The last time I photographed her daughter was when she was 18 months. Prior to that, Michele had her maternity, newborn, 6-month, 1-year […]

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful family. Not only are they beautiful but they are friends of my family. Years ago before my husband and I had our son, my husband decided to volunteer for Big Brothers, Big Sisters. I guess it was like a trial run to see what it would […]

Ok, here is the final installment of my birth/pregnancy story. I was hoping to finish it in the month of May which is my son’s birth month but evidently, I had too much to say. Well, either I had too much to say or I was just too verbose and stretched it out. Either way, […]

So, here I am again, feeling crappy. Instead of calling my doctor, I decided to just go ahead and purchase a pregnancy test. Oh, before I go any further here are the other links to the previous installments, just in case you need some catching up. Part I, Part II, and Part III. Continuing on…so […]

Ok, the saga continues. If you’re new around here and want to get caught up, here are the previous posts: Part I and Part II. Now that the housekeeping is done, I will continue with the story. Yes, I had a miscarriage and didn’t tell anyone in my family. Why? I really didn’t want them […]

Before I start with part I, there may be some new readers who may want to catch up. If so, here is the link to the previous blog so that you don’t have to go looking for it. Continuing on, now that the doctor told me officially that I was pregnant, it was time to […]

On Facebook and Instagram, I follow several doulas and know several in real life. I also know many mothers. The thing we all have in common, aside from being women, is that we have our own birth stories. For years, I’ve mentioned bits and pieces about my son and how my experience was surrounding his […]

If you are familiar with my work or have been following me for a while, you probably already know that I am predominantly a child photographer. It’s not that I don’t enjoy photographing adults because I do. It’s just that I really, really enjoy photographing children. I like to photograph them when they are old […]

Normally, I don’t talk about things like this but I felt compelled today. On Tuesday, Derek Chauvin, the police officer who murdered George Floyd was found guilty of all charges. I didn’t watch or listen to the trial everyday but I did get summations from NPR throughout the week. Trying to listen to that would […]
