Just For Fun.

Today I was looking through some of the blogs I follow. I was looking at a blogger’s beautiful Christmas decorations when I saw in the background there was a black and white graphic of Audrey Hepburn. I’ve seen it before but today it stood out because it gave me the idea of turning a couple…

A Little Fall Lovin’

My favorite time of year is Fall. I love the feel in the air and that subtle melancholy that seeps into my soul. My family laughs at me because when we are out shopping, smelling candles and looking at holiday decor, I cry. It’s silly, I know, but I can’t help myself. Certain smells just…

Easy Like a Sunday Morning

OK, we are flakes. We totally missed church this morning. As hard as I tried I couldn’t wake up, even after Steve came in and tried to wake me up! As soon as he crawled back into bed I knew that was the end of me trying to get up to go to church. Sometimes…

When You’re Not the Wedding Photographer

Alix

Alix is my oldest daughter. Every now and then she gets the idea to have a photo shoot. Of course, I go along with it! I can’t think of anything a photographer loves more than someone who wants their picture taken! It was close to halloween and the fall light was in full force. I…
