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.
My husband wrote this “poem” last night as he prepared to speak at church on Mother’s Day. He was surprised that so many women approached him and said that his poem really touched them. I was not so surprised. I think each of us can find ourselves in this list. I think it’s particularly interesting [...]
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you! My Mother’s Day started out with a gourmet breakfast made by my two oldest girls. This week has been a particularly pleasant one, with lots of special mom and kid time. What memories have you been making this week?
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 [...]
My almost-13-year-old daughter, Necco, is a huge DR WHO fan (so is my 15 year old daughter, who by the way, claimed she was going to marry David Tennant until his recent birthday made him older than her dad). Necco is also an artist, and her current craze is turning everything (like her Kindle case [...]

Can you tell by my 365 photos from this week that we’ve been getting ready for Easter and spending lots of extra time together? It’s been a great week, with plenty of chocolate, jelly beans, and cousin bonding. Two more days til I head to Disney World!!
I saw some adorable table-top jelly bean topiaries at a dinner my daughters and I attended last month. As I was decorating my house for Easter this week, I thought of those topiaries and wondered if I could make a large topiary with plastic Easter Eggs. I figured it was worth a try. Here’s who [...]
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 [...]
Please don’t be jealous. I have the best mom in the world. I would celebrate her every day if I could. I just wish that we lived closer together so that we could capture MORE memories like these. Mother’s Day will be here before you know it. Have you started planning for this year’s [...]
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, [...]
