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.
A few years ago, I had no idea how to use Skype or why I would want to learn. My husband swore by it, but as a mother of then very young children, it simply sounded like something that would take more of my non-existent time. How wrong I was! CandyMan was finally able to [...]
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 [...]
One of my favorite parts of my recent trip to the Orlando/Kissimmee, Florida area was where we stayed. Although we were kept VERY busy all day long, having a comfortable, homey place to return to every night was an unexpected blessing. Two of my house mates and I took advantage of the hot tub each [...]
Transparency. Community. A place where the customer has a voice. These are factors that are important for me when I am getting to know a new business, whether it’s a restaurant, a house cleaning service, or a bank. Before this week, however, I never expected to find those things – transparency, community, and customers with [...]
Talk to me about transmissions and engines and you’ll lose me pretty quickly. When I am shopping for a new car I am looking for a few very specific things: space (does it hold my family of seven?) features (does it have a DVD player? GPS? Bells and whistles?) comfort (how do I feel driving [...]

It’s hard to believe that KitKat is approaching the end of her Invisalign treatment. It feels like yesterday that I was writing about KitKat’s smile and her need for braces. I never would have guessed (though I did hope) that because of my article, my daughter would be chosen for a full Invisalign “scholarship.” From [...]
I just returned from a 6 day whirlwind trip in Florida for the red carpet premiere of Disneynature’s Chimpanzee. If you’ve been following my twitter or Facebook pages, you’ve probably seen my frequent photo glimpses into all the fun our little group had, but there is so much more that I’ve been dying to tell [...]
I arrived in Orlando last night for my 5 night Florida adventure. My car-mates and I got to the main house just in time for dinner, and let me tell you….what a wonderful way to make an entrance. A house full of blogging friends and the wonderful smell of freshly baked Italian food. Chef Linda [...]
One of the highlights of this past month was the chance that I had to get on a phone call with Armie Hammer, the incredibly handsome actor who plays Prince Alcott in the movie Mirror Mirror, which opens in theaters today (March 30). Armie totally won me over in the movie, but after I had [...]
