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.
I asked my husband, lovingly referred to as CandyMan in these parts, to share the story of how we learned how to grill the most delicious meats on the block. “It doesn’t take a master chef to grill a good steak.” ~CandyMan When Lolli and I got married, neither one of us was an amazing [...]
When we first moved into our house, back in April 1998, one of the first things we did was plant a garden. The garden that year flourished and we enjoyed tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers for months. For some reason, our garden has never done quite as well as it did that first year. Our little [...]
As a mother of kids who have been on soccer, flag football, and swim/dive teams in just this past year, I know injuries. Luckily, we’ve been pretty fortunate and haven’t had too many serious injuries. Just lots of bumps, bruises, and other pains. But mostly, happy faces, tired bodies, and plenty of bandages.

I don’t go shopping for myself very frequently, but when I do I often head straight to Kohl’s (especially when I’m looking for new shoes). While I was preparing for my latest trip to Orlando, I knew that I would want to find some new outfits to wear. I was thrilled to have an excuse [...]
Yesterday, I attended the red-carpet premiere of Disneynature’s newest movie CHIMPANZEE (more details to come later, I promise!). The movie is funny, endearing, and exciting. I can’t wait to take my kids to see it. If you haven’t seen this new clip from the movie, check out how adorable Oscar is. I am in love [...]
I used to take good care of my house. I swear. Of course, I used the excuse back then that it was hard to keep up with cleaning when I had little kids. But now, looking back, I had it good during those days of little kids. I took much better care of my house [...]
