Miss Claire

2007-10-31T11:42:00.000-04:00

I had the privilege of photographing Megan and Mcgee's gorgeous baby girl Claire. She was the perfect little subject!! I love it when they are so little and squishy! She reminded me so much of my little ones. Little Spider Monkey is what I used to tell Owen!! It was too funny... the minute we took her diaper off she TOTALLY filled her Daddy's shoes!! We were all laughing so hard there was

Kyleigh's Silver Ribbon Campaign

2007-10-15T17:26:00.000-04:00

I wear a silver ribbon. It is an outward sign of the inner turmoil that I face everyday as the parent of a VACTERL child. It is a small but powerful reminder that our lives will never be the same. It takes my breath away. I never thought that I would wear a ribbon and certainly not for my daughter... but here I am and I wear my ribbon so that people will ASK. I need everyone to know how hard my

Ali & Danny

2007-10-08T16:45:00.000-04:00

What has blonde hair, blue eyes, a severe Kentucky twang, and SEVEN STAPLES????You guessed it! 1 Mister Roscoe P Cotrain!!! (Otherwise known as Ross, Rossy P, Roscoe P..... etc.)He fell off the bed (all of 1.5 feet to the ground) around 6 am and gashed his head and we spent all AM in the ER getting him put back together! Yes so goes the story of my life! If I write a book will you all buy it?

Google Reader is good

2007-09-26T20:41:00.000-04:00

I recently discovered the power of Google Reader. Before I had all these links to multiple blogs that I wanted to check and had to do so manually to see what was posted, what I needed to read, what I liked, etc. I knew I wanted some kind of blog reader, but I change from work to home to laptop so I needed portable.... Google Reader to the rescue!If you love to check blogs Google Reader is the

This is why I shoot weddings

2007-05-13T23:26:00.000-04:00

So many photographers are going away from weddings. Sure I could shoot 10 seniors or families in the hours that I spend at a wedding... but I don't think I would ever get to capture anything quite like this. THIS one single shot summarizes the whole reason I shoot weddings. I have never been so amazed and overcome with emotion at any wedding. In my list of top ten wedding moments this is
