Better in Bulk - Family photographer with a large family
Daily thoughts on living with a large family. I often share the tips I've learned as a photographer on how to get better pictures.
AJ turned 7 years old today! I can’t believe my baby is 7! As is our tradition, he woke up early this morning and opened his presents before the majority of the family left for school. On the eve of his birthday, AJ watched Iron Man for the first time. It was perfect timing, because [...]
Mother’s Day is coming in just a few days, and this year my husband has even more pressure to make the day special as he’ll be spending the day with TWO of the mothers in his life: me, the mother of his children, and his own mother. I think I’ve talked about the fact that [...]
I cook up a MEAN holiday dinner. Ask my sister (the only one who lives on the East Coast, that is) and all of my brothers in law. I know how to set out a delicious smelling and delicious tasting spread. I do not, however, know much about decorating. Despite the fact that I do [...]
Castle Park is one of our Spring Break traditions. We picked today (because of the ideal weather) to meet some friends for a few hours of outdoor play time. Can you tell how much fun they had? Who would have guessed that AJ was up all night with the worst croup I’ve ever seen? Yes, [...]
Spring Break is one of my favorite times for spending time with my kids. The weather is nicer than Winter Break, so we can spend time outdoors and exploring things around the DC area. And the time is shorter than Summer Break so we don’t get tired of each other (wait….did I really say that?). [...]
Sorry I’m late getting my PhotoStory Friday/ Give Me Your Best Shot post up. And please forgive my lack of fancy-camera pictures. I’ve been a little preoccupied partying with my kids. We’re celebrating the start of Spring Break!! Today the kids were in school….and tomorrow we all get to sleep in. Yes, glorious, wonderful vacation. [...]
I have a little tradition on Sunday afternoons. Other than taking a nap, of course. I listen to my toddlers talk in their silly, slurry accents. I watch my older kids bottle feed their little siblings for the first time. I listen to my Grandma tell stories and play songs on the piano with my [...]
St. Patrick’s Day is here! Are you wearing green? It’s been a busy week, but I found some time on Pinterest to add St. Patrick’s Day ideas (foods, activities, traditions, etc) to my Holiday board and I thought I’d share some of my favorite finds and start a St. Patrick’s Day Round-Up of my own.
Reese turned 9 yesterday. She is my youngest daughter, and the petite one of the family. She’s always been the “little sister.” I’ve got to face the facts – Reese is not going to be a little girl for much longer. The signs are everywhere. Top 10 signs that my little girl is growing up: [...]
Valentine’s Day is on the horizon, and one of my family’s favorite ways to celebrate this holiday (and any holiday) is to find holiday-themed picture books to enjoy during the month. Here is a list of some Valentine’s Day books from some of our favorite children’s authors and illustrators.
