52 porch sessions and $1,420 later….

52 Porch Sessions and a donation to the Wahoo Food Pantry in the amount of $1,420 … WOW! Together we can make a difference! The #1 thing I’ve learned from this project… some people are more affected by the pandemic than others. For some families (like ours, for example), life hasn’t looked all that different…

Coronageddon

How is everyone doing on quarantine?? I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts (Why Mommy Drinks) from a couple weeks ago and it was so interesting to me listening to them talk about their perspectives before the quarantine actually happened. It was just hitting the news at the time they recorded and and…

Corona Virus… wth?!

I don’t have much to say about this, but What the HECK?! Such a strange situation to be in. I’m glad I have a new found love of jigsaw puzzles. I hope everyone is staying healthy and productive during this uncertain time. Prayers for everyone’s health, sanity, and any economic strife you may encounter. Technology…

feeding my soul and what I’m saving for…

Life is moving SO fast! Is it really the middle of March already?! Here’s what life looks like for us right now… M-W-F Violet and I are together. She’s 5 1/2 and starts Kindergarten this fall. (seriously cannot wait! I’m excited for her and she will totally love having somewhere to go and kids to…

our girl’s trip to Naples!

10 of us moms (who have 24 children under the age of 11 between us) found a cheap flight to warmer weather and split a huge air b&b. Last weekend was magical! Until I got the strep, that is… We hit up Wal Mart as soon as we landed to get our food + drinks……

feeling a little buried

just popping in to say woweeee. I have a lot on my desk for design work/videos/volunteer stuff…. all stuff I LOVE but that’s not necessarily ‘shooting.’ It’s good to switch gears sometimes and I love the opportunity to be creative with other non-photography projects.

new paint job reveal!

a fresh injection of color in the living room… It’s the boring, dull part of Winter when all the Christmas stuff is put away and I’ve kon-marie’d every closet and the kitchen already. We’re in full on hibernation mode so maybe we find ourselves sitting on the couch more often. In doing so, one starts…

why it’s OK to have a calm life

Ah yes. The new year is upon us and time, once again, to reflect. Reflect on the things we did well in 2019 and how busy we were. Violet has a babysitter today and is at the Library kid’s ‘NOON-year’s Eve’ party and I’m working on year-end stuff and logging mileage and what-not. And it…

a CBD launch party!

We learned all we ever wanted to know about CBD and hemp at the Lake Country Growers launch party last Friday! We tracked 9 hours up to lake country in Wisconsin and had an absolute blast (remember my last commercial shoot with these awesome peeps?!). The event was SO successful… over 300 people came to…
