With four kids comes a lot of responsibilities. My to-do list, like most, is never-ending.  However, even though there is always something I could be doing, I know carving out one on one time with each kid should be at the top of my list.  What is more important that maintaining good and healthy relationships […]

It’s been 8 months and 2 days since we welcomed our 4th baby, Everett Eli, into our family.  Looking at his newborn photos today has brought back such sweet memories.  He has been a perfect addition.  These last 8 months I have spent my time enjoying this little baby and the time with my family. […]

I feel pretty lucky that I get to be home with my kids everyday…but I’ll admit it, I’m not always that fun.  It’s can be hard with all the to-dos to be fun all the time.  Tim is definitely the “fun” parent.  Today I decided take advantage of all the rain and gloom and live […]

Today is an interesting day for me.  It marks 6 years since I lost a huge piece of my heart.  My dad left this world 6 years ago.  As I type that I still can’t really believe it.  Grief is a weird emotion.  It shows up when it wants, shows no mercy, but then leaves […]

As a photographer I am always the one behind the camera. It’s just easier that way and honestly it’s nerve-wracking being photograhed…right?!  I’ve been wanting to be better about being in pictures, so when another local photographer offered “Mommy and Me Sessions” to other photographers, I decided to jump at the chance.  I’m so glad […]

Apparently I’ve been on a bit of a blogging vacation this summer but it’s time to get back to it.  Other than all the rain that we’ve been getting here in Pittsburgh, it’s been a good and busy summer so far.  In between rain showers we’ve had a good bit of fun. Anyway, I have […]

Family is a big deal to us.  Back in March we found ourselves making a trip to Maryland due to some sad circumstances.  On the up side it meant we got to spend time with cousin Cyrus and visit with my older sister Emily and my brother-in-law. No matter what is going on around them […]

We love books over here.  So much so that sometimes I find Clay reading his books in the dark.  I thought today my Friday Favorites would be to share a few of our favorite children’s books.  We have many but I’ll try to narrow it down to our current favorites.  I say “our” because, yes, […]

When you have a baby it’s hard to truly imagine how your life will be.  You picture late nights rocking them to sleep, comforting them when they are sad, dressing them in cute clothes…etc.  Then they arrive and you realize that parenthood is ten times harder than you ever imagined but is filled with so […]

My nephew, Cameron.  Pretty much one of the sweetest little beings out there. We spent Sunday afternoon taking pictures and it was great. XOXO
