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.
KitKat, my oldest, is in love with two very cute brothers….and yesterday, they added another little boy to their family. She couldn’t be more thrilled. This afternoon, we took a little trip to the hospital, just me, KitKat, and a camera. For more inspiring photos, check: High Impact Mom, The Bonafide Life, Shanamama, From Dates [...]
A few weeks ago, when my brother and sister in law were in town, we spent a day at the National Zoo in nearby Washington DC. The day was perfect, the animals cooperated, and we had a blast. And there were 9 very tired Franklins at the end of the day. What are your favorite [...]
My BFF is teaching horse back riding lessons at a local farm, and her kids were in a horse show this weekend. I took my two youngest kids to watch the horses and enjoy the beautiful Spring weather and country surroundings. It was a nearly perfect day (don’t get me started on AJ’s incessant whining [...]
On Sunday night, Reese, my 9 year old, emerged from her big sister’s bedroom, where KitKat (the big sister) had been practicing her hair and make up skills. Holy cow. That’s all I have to say. 9 years old? I’ve got a long 10 years ahead of me… For more inspiring photos, check: 5 Minutes [...]
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 [...]
I had intended to leave my camera home for my Saturday at Disney World, but my friend Carrie convinced me that I would appreciate having a camera with me at Epcot. So I begrudgingly packed my heavy camera bag for the day. I am SO glad I listened to Carrie. She knew what she was [...]
Today, I will truly let the pictures speak for themselves. I think they tell a pretty good story, don’t you? And then, my favorite… For more inspiring photos, check: 5 Minutes for Mom, High Impact Mom, The Bonafide Life, Shanamama, From Dates to Diapers, Not Your Mom Blog, The Divine Miss Mommy, Colorado Moms, Rajean [...]
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, [...]
I love to dance. I need to exercise more often. I love when I can combine something I love with something I need to do. It’s the best of both worlds. Except in MY world, I have a bad knee. I have to sleep with a pillow under my left knee every night because of [...]
One week old and perfect in every way. I can’t get over how precious my friend’s new baby girl is. And I got to spend all morning with her. Today I am off to New York City to see Wicked and hang out with my blogging friend since 2008 (that’s basically forever, you know!) who [...]
