20 Wonderful Years!
I‘m sitting in my office. It’s a beautiful morning, and the birds are singing and a cool breeze is floating into the room. I looked at the window and could see the dappled light filtering in and hitting the floor as little pieces of sun light sparkles on all the edges of the glass window…

Happy Birthday, Mike!
Today happens to be my younger brother’s birthday! He’s forty years old! Mike is the baby of three sisters and he’s certainly had to suffer through a lot of torture over the years because of that. All four of us kids have the same dad, but my brother Mike, and sister Michelle, have a different…

Audrey at Halloween
I finally got around to editing our halloween pictures! Emma was Audrey Hepburn. We were so busy running around all day, and spent so much time getting her ready, we had a hard time getting out before dark. We did get some pics and here they are. I couldn’t believe how grown up she seems. She’s…

“How to Tell When God is Working in Your Life”
Hi everybody! As you may know we were in escrow with a mini ranch up in Northern Navada. Long story short the sellers got another offer and we lost the ranch. A few days earlier I just started randomly sobbing at the thought that we would lose everything. I honestly got mad at God. Really,…

Tilly- Photo Shoot of a Hamster
I‘m sure you’ve noticed our hamster Tilly is kind of a big deal at our house. Emma waited about 7 years of her 10 for a pet. Now she has one, and everybody is going to know it. Emma has done so much research on hamsters she could write a book. She has, actually. Her…

Light Painting
Tonight we did a little light painting in the back yard! It’s been a long time since we just played around with the camera and light. Earlier this week I saw tiny mushrooms that were growing around the base of several trees in my neighborhood. They gave me the idea of a photo shoot I’ve been…

My sisters and I just got home from our mini vacay in Palm Springs! We had a great time! We laughed so hard, ate great food and saw some really cool stuff. The cool part is, the three of them went back to Las Vegas and I stopped off at home in the OC to…

Girls’ Weekend!
I know it’s the Fourth of July weekend and I should feel really excited about that. However, being married to someone who usually works holidays, like my husband is today, sometimes kills the excitement. I am happy he’ll be home at night though because then I don’t have to worry about him being in all…
