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.
OK, usually the word bombarded has negative connotations, but this time it’s completely positive…. I feel like I have been bombarded with the most amazing opportunities lately. My family and I have had the opportunity to do so many things that we normally would not have been able to do. The latest incredible adventure (another [...]
OK, I’ve shown you the pretty pictures and shared tips on how to have a cheap day trip to New York City. And I’ve hinted to the fact that the trip was rather difficult. Today I am going to tell it like it is, nothing held back. Honestly, in the end I think we all [...]
Apparently, all I am good for these days is cooking. The strangest thing happened to me while I have been sick these past few weeks. I actually want to cook. Either the pneumonia has done something to my head or I’ve been spending way too much time on Pinterest while I’ve been trying to rest. [...]
This has been a rough week. First, Susan Niebur, my friend and fellow DC-area blogger died on Monday. Her passing was not a surprise. She has been valiantly fighting cancer for the last 5 years and had not been doing well of late. I’ve found that funerals are emotionally taxing, but they are cleansing as [...]
Note: These pictures are just cool shots I took at the park this week. AJ grabbed my hand and pulled me over to a branch that had some pretty cool “carvings” on it. I told him they weren’t carvings, but we did have fun contemplating what they could be (like alien markings!). But that is [...]
This winter has been odd, to say the least. We’ve had snow three times so far, and none has lasted longer than a day and a half. So I didn’t complain about this week’s snow quite as much as I normally would in January. This week, our snow storm brought out one of my favorite [...]
Believe it or not, I really did take pictures with my real camera this week (quite a few of them, in fact). I believe that most of those pictures were of food, because suddenly my oldest daughter and I have become Pinterest fanatics and can’t wait to recreate some new Pinterest recipe or creation each [...]
Alternately titled… “How to make homemade notebook paper” Today was an odd day. I decided to force myself to take a nap (I was significantly sleep-deprived after a really late night. Long story). So I slept til after lunch, ate a late meal, and then took a shower. I basically had time to get ready [...]
It’s a new year, I just got a new Android Smartphone with a cool camera and fun photo apps, and I have been hearing a ton of buzz about Project 365. I tried completing a Project 365 a few years ago and only made it a couple months. But that was before smart phones. My [...]
We just rolled in to Maryland earlier today, and BOY is the temperature difference between here and Florida drastic. In fact, less than an hour after arriving back home, snow started falling. I think we were all ready to turn back around to enjoy a few more days of Florida temperatures and sun. I’ve hardly [...]
