  • These Are My Confessions…

  • My bookshelves are filled with dog-eared, highlighted well-loved books. A veritable smorgasbord of parenting books, romance novels (yes, I read romance novels...don't judge), business tomes, murder mysteries, healthy living books, never been cracked cookbooks and more romance novels. I love a good story. I love opening the first page of a book, hearing the spine crackle and diving into other people’s lives and adventures. I am not afraid to admit that I love my romance novels the best. Being involved in the lives (whether they are fictional or not) of those in love makes me happy. As a wedding photographer, I get to be a small part of other people’s love stories as the storyteller and an artist. That is my passion and what I love to do.

    Let me tell your story.

The Engagements: Elizabeth & Jerrod

I’ve known Elizabeth for a few years now. We bonded over our mutual love of shoes, singing and romance novels. I’m am super excited that she has found the love of her life and is marrying her best friend.

In a few weeks, Lizzy and Jerrod will be married in a fab, vintage inspired wedding. And I am sure her shoes will be spectacular:)

Christmas Cards

When I started college, one of the things I was super excited about was sending Christmas cards. Random, I know.

Of course, I had to be original and hand make my own cards. I was not about to go purchase pre-made cards from a box! The shame!

So, making homemade cards or at least doctoring up pre-made cards was the norm for each year until my daughter was born. Then, I swore that I would never get the photo type cards. I caved on that two, until a few years ago, I gave up on sending Christmas cards at all.

And such is blogging…

No, I haven’t given up on blogging, but it’s never been my favorite activity. Though I do enjoy the writing –sometimes. At the beginning of this year, I thought I would try to blog more, but with work, and the Kidlet, and Facebooking and Pinterest, blogging has become the item on my To DO List that gets pushed to “tomorrow” everyday. Haha.

So, being as it’s been over 10 days since my last post (and about 4 years since my last Christmas card), I figured, I better check in and let everyone who isn’t my Facebook/Twitter friend know that I am still alive (and Merry Christmas x4).

I am living the motto “Work Hard. Play Harder.” And nowhere in that motto says to stop and blog along the way. But I’m trying, and I’ll continue to at least feel guilty when I push “Write a blog post” to tomorrow’s TO DO list.

Here’s a picture I shot last week at a photo shoot. More to come…someday;)
