Little Boys Do Grow Up

I just completed a senior session and it’s time to reflect! #1 It looked like the weather was going to kill our session, but then we just got creative with the setting. Lo and behold, the weather cooperated for us (thanks, God!) #2 His mom couldn’t have been more proud! When they held hands my heart […]

The Hunt Becomes the Treasure

I’m transitioning from a period of years where there has been a lot of confusion, emotion, misunderstanding, shouting, and miscommunication.

Limited Time Offer!

I find deals. I research and I find deals. That’s how we ended up with a dog. Did I want a dog? I’m still not sure, but there was no doubt the rest of my family did. They even had a name picked out for a good two years before we got the dog! But […]

We were sitting on my porch, my friend and I. She was reminiscing about a book she was reading (by Shauna Neiquist, I believe). A revolutionary thought had presented her with a pronounced freedom – to create a list of things that you are not. For example, “I am not a gardener,” my friend admitted […]

Mental Aperture f/1.8

I can relate to author Ann VonKamp, who relates that her tools of introspective focus are ink on a blank page and the lens of her camera. In fact, in writing this I’m penning my thoughts on the first fresh page of a new notebook. I can’t tell you what a giddy joy this is! […]
