You might recognize these three cute guys from a couple posts ago and this time we have a few additions. My cousin Rachel and her family, my Aunt Beth and cousin, Callie came to visit us. I was beyond excited when she told us they were coming. Beth and Callie recently moved from Ohio to […]

When reading this post, be prepared to be overwhelmed by cuteness. These three boys are so dear to my heart! They are the sons of my cousin Rachel and her husband, Nick. We only get to see them a few times a year, so when we get together it is especially sweet. But I will […]

  July was such a renewing month. I spent most of my time visiting friends and family in the Midwest. There is just something about being with our families and college friends that draws us back to who we are and who we are called to be. It must be because they just accept us […]

So last Saturday was amazing! Little ol’ Kinston hosted the very first 5k Race for She Is Safe called the Run to Rescue. With 70 super fast runners and walkers and sooo many generous sponsors, we were able to raise over $3,000 for She Is Safe! I had the privilege of documenting the Spaghetti Dinner […]

May is a busy month! Lots of celebrations – Mother’s Day, our anniversary and my birthday (the last two are on the same day). There is a lot of pressure on Josiah this month. There are also some exciting events coming up! In less than two weeks, I will be seeing Wicked in Durham! I […]

I had a terrible case of the Mondays yesterday. I wanted so badly to sit down at my computer and write this post, but it just didn’t happen. I have not had much time to think lately, but I have had a lot of talks. Talks with others and myself. Thinking to myself is different […]

My favorite people to photograph are my children. My daughter asked me during her three year-old portrait session yesterday, “Mommy, why are you always taking pictures of us?” I answered her with the obvious answer, “because I love you so much and you are so beautiful.” Later, though, I was thinking that I better be […]

Just let that sink in. It is not necessarily about someone’s death, but it could be bad news, frustration, a mistake you’ve made, guilt you are carrying, an argument… what is it for you? What are you mourning? Why are you wearing a sackcloth? Mordecai wore a sackcloth when he found out that his people […]

We almost had too much fun this February! McG’s Very Hungry Caterpillar Party was the highlight with lots of out of town guests. I also did my first “School Picture Day” for a local homeschool co-op with about 85 students. I went to Branches and Light and came back with a new look at my […]
