Pinching myself was not working.  I flat out could not believe we were doing this.  No kids, dream vacay and a WHOLE week on the beach! The Best Tahiti Travel Guide is here!   If you were to ask me, Snow or beach.  I think you would know what I’d say. Beach allllll the way! […]

Even though I’ve spent years of standing in front of people talking (albeit they were little people) as a teacher in the classroom I still found my voice shaking a little. My very first photography course!   I looked out at the faces of these women that were trusting me and came because they believed […]

Only a few short months after having our second son I already had the itch.  Not the itch you’re probably thinking. I had the travel itch. We had been US locked since literally a few weeks after we found out we were pregnant. Best couples trip eva!   We were about to grab the tram […]

As the temperature shifts I find myself scouring the web for “what to do this summer”.  Day Camps, museum camps, zoo camps, sports camps, swim camps! Oh the camps!

I’m not sure I can remember one time I’ve asked Justin (hubby) if I could do something or go somewhere and he’s ever said no to me.  Which just means either I have a really amazing hubby (this is true) or he has figured out how to reverse psychology me into making what I deep […]

I feel like I need to be honest with you right now. I’m all over the place with my life. Like really. As you may (or may not, if you missed it click here) know I recently made a switch in my biz life. Went from being full time Photography Business CEO, cranking in six […]

On a recent trip to Tahoe we went to take pictures by the lake.  My husband had gone on with my younger son and it was just me and my oldest.  We were struggling to get up a snowbank and back to the car. I made it to the top first and turned to check […]

I was born with a scar in the back of my retina in my right eye, blocking all vision except for slight exterior peripheral.  I take great care of my left eye because, it’s basically all I got.  I’d like to say this little “set back” has actually made me a better photographer in the […]
