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.
After my sophomore year of college, my roommate Susan and I planned a trip to Mexico, just the two of us. I had spent the previous summer on a study abroad in Mexico and I couldn’t wait to return. The summer of 1993 had been full of incredible memories – camping in the jungle, climbing [...]
Yesterday Candyman and I celebrated our 17th anniversary…by running around all day. But not with each other. The most time we spent together was 30 minutes or so on a lobby couch while we waited for last night’s short plays to finish (don’t worry, we watched Necco’s play completely). After the plays, we headed out [...]
A little while ago, my kids were playing outside and discovered a moth in our front yard. The kids ran inside to tell me about the moth. Finding insects and little critters outside is pretty common occurance, and nothing to get all excited about, I thought. And then I saw the moth. Yes, THIS moth [...]
I am still recovering from my trip to Florida last week. I came home and jumped right back in to work and family stuff. This weekend we’ve had extra fun family time with my brother and sister in law in town. Let’s just say that my camera has been working over time, and even my [...]
How do I adequately describe the experience of being taken behind the scenes at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, being led on a three-hour private safari where I was close enough to reach out an touch animals (don’t worry – I didn’t), and enjoying African-inspired delicacies on the savanna? I truly felt transported to another world. I [...]
I know I won’t get any sympathy….but I am so exhausted. I am not used to so much excitement and so many hours of being up and moving every day. It has been an incredible week, but I can’t wait to get back into my own bed. What have you been up to this week?
I am overwhelmed by today’s experience here in Florida. After a late night getting settled in our Global Resort home and visiting with all of our blogging buddies, the morning came very, very early. We left in a Pegasus bus around 7:30 this morning to travel over to Florida EcoSafaris at Forever Florida. What a [...]
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 [...]
Can you tell by my 365 photos from this week that we’ve been getting ready for Easter and spending lots of extra time together? It’s been a great week, with plenty of chocolate, jelly beans, and cousin bonding. Two more days til I head to Disney World!!
My kids and I have spent the last 2 days in Pennsylvania with my sister and her 2 girls. It has definitely been the highlight of our Spring Break. Here’s a peek at all the fun we’ve had together… We’re heading back home tonight, and will sleep well after all the excitement we’ve had here, [...]
