It's exciting to get some true free time with Conrad and real time to focus on the shop. I hope we can just have fun.  Of course I'll be busy with the...

Conrad was so excited to get to be in the Christmas parade this year on the Boy Scout float! I couldn't get a great picture of him because they were moving too fast and it was very dark but I actually kinda like the way all these turned out. The lights turned out pretty in the photos I think.  There were some awesome floats. My favorite was the...

My Christmas mini photo sessions were a big hit. Here's a round up of a few of my favorites.   I was stressing and DIYing backdrops like crazy the week leading up to it, but I'm happy with how they turned out.

Something that I have been obsessing over lately is the word: QUALITY. Webster defines QUALITY as: " a high level of value or excellence" .  I'm not a perfectionist, and I'll be honest, I've put work out there in all aspects of my work that I know could've been better or that wasn't true to me. Whether its because of clients wishes or lack of time, putting out...

Last week was a whirlwind of sickness, photo shoots, thanksgiving shindigs and unfortunately a death in the family. Sadly we lost my Grandmother on my mom's side. :( I don't want to get into that too much but needless to say I'm so happy she's no longer in pain and is with my Grandpa again. Death is never easy. We had lots of yummy food for Thanksgiving and...
