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.
Yes, the title IS quite a mouthful. I simply couldn’t figure out how to pack so much awesomeness into one small line. I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve such an amazing year of travel. Oh! The places I’ve seen! We’re not even halfway through 2012, and already I’ve been to New York City [...]
“Whether we like it or not, we are often judged by our appearance.” (Dr. Michelle Callahan) I consider myself an open, welcoming person. I am able to quickly get past a person’s appearance and enjoy them (I hate to even use the word “judge”) for the person that they are rather than what they look [...]
When I was a kid, I wanted to be an author. I wrote books constantly (even won some awards for a few of my elementary school novels). But, strangely, once I got to college, I didn’t pursue writing at all. I went in a different direction with no regrets. It’s funny to me that after [...]

Working at home can be rewarding but also very challenging. My friend, Kate Canterbury, from The Guavalicious Life has some fabulous tips for making the home business a success. Last year I started working at home part time. And by that I mean I added on a professional job to my full time work at [...]
February 29 doesn’t come around all that often, so a few of my blogging friends and I decided to do something a little out of the ordinary today. We’re all answering 10 questions about ourselves (thank you, Jessica!) and then hopping around to learn a little more about each other. Want to join in? 10 [...]
Today I will stay inside my warm house and dream of chocolates. I am skipping my kids’ Valentine’s class parties for the first time since 2001. I am determined to kick this pneumonia, and I’m afraid it’s going to take a few more days resting at home before that happens. I am crushed that I [...]
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I am saying goodbye to a dear friend today. Susan Niebur, the blogger behind Toddler Planet, has finished her fight with Inflammatory Breast Cancer. The cancer might have taken Susan, but Susan left an indelible mark on so many of us. It’s hard to imagine [...]
Today I am rallying with my fellow local moms as well as thousands of women around the world who have been touched by one person fighting cancer. Susan Lean on me, when you’re not strong And I’ll be your friend I’ll help you carry on For it won’t be long ‘Til I’m gonna need Somebody [...]
