First of all, I want to thank everyone for their kind words, emails, and comments yesterday at our family’s announcement. Knowing that so many of you have been thinking about us and praying for our family over this last year mean more to us than you will ever know. It has been a long year, […]

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. […]

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 […]
