THE JOURNAL

I’ll be out of the office on Wednesday and Thursday of this week as my littlest love, Nash turns one.  I have no idea how he went from a teeny newborn to the bright eyed, giggle butt and little boy that he is today, but we’re looking forward to celebrating his first big milestone with […]

My favorite pictures of all are always the ones where they barely notice I’m there.  This week, Jillian doing what she does best with her nose buried in an old classic.  We’re pretty proud of the amazing reader she’s become. And Nash.  Using anything and everything as a drum … including a toilet seat.  Such […]

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 […]

Well hello there, 2013.  Although many people out there thought we wouldn’t even see the light of day come January 2013 (literally) I knew you’d still be here.  Which is good, because 2013 is going to be a a fabulous year!  So many awesome creatives around me are gearing up for a great year as […]

Today, my little girl turns six … six.  I just can’t really wrap my mind around it yet.  It seems like just yesterday that we first laid eyes on her in complete awe of how perfect this little human being was.  I remember the first time I saw her.  My heart did a flip, I […]

It’s that time of year, and here we go! 1.  I’m all into home made gifts this year for my kids.  They’re simpler, fun to make and I know for a fact that they won’t sit inside a closet gathering dust and adding to the already huge pile of unused toys.  This year, I made […]
