That was the question I asked myself. I’ve done projects in the past where I try to find a tiny slice of beauty during the pre-dinner hour. But in the morning? Before school? That’s the definition of crazy around our house. I’m still drinking coffee. The kids can take a while waking up. The light […]

April 30th marked the end of another O’Clock Project and phew am I’m glad it’s done. I know, I’m probably supposed to say how wonderful it was and how it motivated me to shoot all the time and to look for all the pretty light. But you guys! It was HARD this year….like dragging my butt […]

When I started the O’clock project in 2015 it was a small way for me to make it through the witching hour that consumed our house every day just before dinner. I emerged from that first year completely amazed at the power my camera had to allow me to see my life objectively and find […]

Photography Projects. Do you ever have those days where you wonder how the heck you are going to get through the next 60 minutes? Please tell me I’m not the only one. Truth be told, that is me, almost every day at 4 pm. I can actually tell time by the crazy-level in our house. […]

My life is sometimes crazy. Real. Messy. Full. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Even on the hardest days, I wouldn’t trade this life and this little family for anything in the world. As we approach my youngest daughter’s first birthday in a little over a week, I feel so incredibly lucky that I’ve been […]

If you missed part 1 of the Our 5 O’Clock series you can check it out here. After shooting every day at 5:00 pm for the whole month, I can honestly say that I was happy the month was over. It was a challenge. A challenge to think creatively each day while doing the same […]

It’s our crazy hour. Our witching hour. The hour that sometimes makes me want to just curl up and wish it was over. It’s 5:00 pm I can actually remember not so many years ago when 5 pm meant relaxing after work watching Oprah…maybe thinking about what to make for dinner…maybe not. Sometimes I’d go […]

Before I had kids I thought I knew all about the mess they would make. I was wrong. When I had one kid I figured adding one more wouldn’t make things THAT much more chaotic. I was wrong. If you have more than 2 kids you are probably sitting there laughing at my naiveté right now. Seriously […]

I shot my first Day In The Life this past June as part of a photography workshop. I was instantly hooked and then did another one in July with the intention to keep doing it once a month. Best laid plans, right? It took me until November to gather up the gusto to take on […]

I can’t believe that a month has passed and that it’s time already for another ‘Motherhood Is‘ post. I seriously feel like time is flying by so fast that I can’t possibly keep up. Willa is already 7 weeks old and I am trying so hard to remember these newborn days and all the little things […]
