The only thing better… Than Being a Superhero…    Is Being a Big Brother…   Baby #2 to arrive in November 2012!   A big thanks to my wonderful and crazy talented friend Jana of J. Marie Designs for making this super cute Big Brother t-shirt for Noah at the last minute. 🙂

I’m really excited about today’s Feature Friday Blogger. Katie and I go way back; all the way to our college and pageant days. She knew me during some of my craziest times and could probably tell some horror stories from my time in college. No matter, she’s always been one of those genuinely beautiful people, […]

These last two weeks have been a bit of whirlwind around our house. The husband made rank and found out he was advancing in May or June; which is such a blessing. He works so hard and loves what he does so much. It makes me happy to see him succeed doing something he loves. […]

If you’ve missed any of the Move to Manual series so far, be sure to check it out! We’ve spent the last several weeks covering all of the basic aspects of photography and how to use your camera. We’ve gone over the basics of composition and lighting; what aperture is; how shutter speed, iso and […]

This is going to be the last tutorial in the Move to Manual Series! Next week, I’m going to go over setting up a shot and how I prepare my settings and position my subject. Next weeks post won’t go up until Tuesday because I want you guys to take a full week to review the tutorials […]

I feel like everything on my blog lately is the same: confessions about my lack of time to do much of anything… expressions of how utterly exhausted I am most days… excitement for all of the things that I want to do… and happiness over the design waiting list that continues to grow. Let me emphasize […]

We are slowly winding down this series on understanding your camera a bit better and making that jump from Auto to Manual. I really appreciate all of the feedback that you guys have given and I hope that you are all enjoying this series as much as I’ve enjoyed putting it together. To view all […]

I have a million things that I could talk about today. I could talk about the tears I shed when someone I consider to be a dear friend, though we’ve never met in person, messaged me on Twitter to let me know that she was expecting. She wanted to tell me, personally, before announcing it […]
