I love my children’s eyes.  They have their dad’s eyes and it’s uncanny how identical the three of them are.  They’re this perfect shade of hazel meets brown (or “basil” as Jillian calls it)  and so expressive.  And it seems I’m always trying to get into them when I shoot.  As much as I love the […]

  A quiet, but busy week here at home. Does that even make sense?  We seem to turn into cave people come January in Michigan, and only venturing out when we have to.  So this week, it pretty much our lives on repeat.  Sleep, school, play, eat, baths repeat.  But that’s ok, it made for […]
