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.
As much as mother could love a child, I love this little boy. I adore him. I smother him with kisses every day, and he reciprocates. Often more than I might prefer. I can count on finding him asleep in my bed when I wake up in the mornings a few times a week. Yesterday, [...]
This month has been cold. Cold and snowy and dreary. And today is the last day of the month. Tomorrow, I’ll be able to say “Next month will be Spring!” It’s still cold in March, but March holds the promise of melting snow and green things growing. And rain that washes away the dirt and [...]
I have a lot to smile about this week. After 3 1/2 years of running and developing a start-up business, CandyMan has been hired back as Director of International Sales and Marketing at his old computer consulting office.

It’s the first Monday of a new year, and the first I Heart Faces challenge of 2011. This week’s challenge is to find your best face photo of 2010. I have a hard time picking “bests” out, but this photo of Reese is one that has stood out as one of my favorites this year. [...]

While most participants are probably going for the cute kids with pumpkins for this week’s I Heart Faces orange theme, I decided to feature this orange bride. Or should I call her the “blue” bride? I showed off this picture in black and white after the wedding and had to explain that she really was [...]
This week’s I Heart Faces PINK theme is in celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Don’t forget to get a mammogram and encourage the women you love to do the same! PS–We’re in the home stretch, friends!! Only a FEW DAYS left to vote for me in the Amazing Avocado recipe contest! Help me win [...]
