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.

We are currently in the middle of spring break and I feel that it has already gone by too quickly. My son thinks that he was the only one looking forward to it but I’m here to say, he was not. I, like many parents and teachers, was looking forward to no school. Currently, my […]

It’s that time again! Spring break! Woohoo! You would think that I’m still in school with my reaction. Even though I am not, I feel as though I am. My son is a sophomore in high school and he is still doing virtual learning. When I say that it is stressing me out, I am […]

This past weekend I was reunited with an old friend of mine and her daughter. My friend Pam used to be my son’s pre-school teacher. He was three-years-old when we met her. In case you’re wondering how long we’ve known each other, my son is 15. We’ve kept in touch off and on over the […]

Hey, hey hey! Calling all child models! Lately, I have been very busy behind the scenes trying to prepare for this. For quite some time, I’ve been vacillating about where I wanted to take my photography and I believe I have settled on fine art portraits for children. Fine art portraiture may not be for […]
