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.
When we first moved into our house, back in April 1998, one of the first things we did was plant a garden. The garden that year flourished and we enjoyed tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers for months. For some reason, our garden has never done quite as well as it did that first year. Our little [...]
As a mother of kids who have been on soccer, flag football, and swim/dive teams in just this past year, I know injuries. Luckily, we’ve been pretty fortunate and haven’t had too many serious injuries. Just lots of bumps, bruises, and other pains. But mostly, happy faces, tired bodies, and plenty of bandages. This year, [...]
With me as their mother, it’s not a surprise that my kids are not star athletes. However, they have each tried a few sports – from soccer to football to swim/dive to basketball to track. And they are naturally active like kids should be. Add in a few injuries and pre-dispositions (a broken or a [...]
While I am still a little bummed that I couldn’t make the premiere of Marvel’s The Avengers this weekend, I am still so excited for it to come to theaters. I am hearing tons of amazing things about The Avengers, and the previews and trailers have me itching to see it in the theaters as [...]
When I found out that I was expecting my first daughter WAY back in 1996, I was already packing my bags for a summer internship in Russia with CandyMan. There was no time to visit the doctor or even tell the exciting news to our friends and family. I left for Russia, armed with my [...]

Yesterday, I attended the red-carpet premiere of Disneynature’s newest movie CHIMPANZEE (more details to come later, I promise!). The movie is funny, endearing, and exciting. I can’t wait to take my kids to see it. If you haven’t seen this new clip from the movie, check out how adorable Oscar is. I am in love [...]
I used to take good care of my house. I swear. Of course, I used the excuse back then that it was hard to keep up with cleaning when I had little kids. But now, looking back, I had it good during those days of little kids. I took much better care of my house [...]
If you’ve been following my twitter or Facebook stream the past few days, or read my last few blog posts, then you have seen the incredible adventures I’ve been on here with the #DisneyGlobalEvent. The fun continues until Monday, so if you aren’t following along with our hashtag you should be. We have an AMAZING [...]
You KNOW I do a lot of laundry. It’s inevitable with 7 people in one household. I also talk about laundry a lot. Could be the fact that I often feel consumed by dirty clothes and smelly socks. I was excited to try out Tide Coldwater a few months ago (I have always loved the [...]
