The Best of 2019

The Best of 2019

The end of the year always gives me the warm and fuzzies. I love looking back on all the amazing people I got to work with and who let me into their lives a little. It is not lost on me what a freaking amazing job I get to do. And it’s all because of…

How I made 2018 my bitch

2018 was really good guys.  I mean it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows because it’s LIFE but all in all it was pretty stellar. My business grew, I made more relationships with other photographers in the area and I managed to find a little more work life balance than I had in the past.  One…

Ruffs, Twinkle Twinkles and Meows according to a 2.5 year old // Personal Post

I’ve been meaning to blog something personal for a while now but you know….WEDDING SEASON.  My little Zaiya bear celebrated her half birthday and turned 2.5 a month ago and we had some family photos taken to celebrate.  I try to book at least a few professional photo sessions in the year to make sure […]

20 Months!! // Life with a baby.

Last week my little girl turned 20 months.   In 4 months she was be 2. TWO!  I have to keep on telling myself this day after day to mentally prepare myself for it. I had a hard time when she turned one because I felt like she was no longer my baby anymore. But two…well […]

18 months going on 18 // Life with a Baby

18 months ago she came into the world with quite the dramatic entrance. Thirty something hours of labor, an ambulance ride and a near C section and she was (finally) here.  All 9lbs of her.

The big 0-1 // Life with a Baby

Well that sure flew by.  My little Zaiya (aka Poops) is ONE.  She’s had a full trip around the sun. And what a trip it’s been. Having a regular baby is a serious trip but I happen to think mine was born with a little bit of extra somethin.  Maybe all parents think this, I […]

Happy birthday baby // Life with a baby

Holy schmoly. I feel like I have been trying to write a blog post for months now – ohh wait, I actually have!  Every time I sit down I am either too tired to write and my brain is just not working or I get interrupted by a certain tiny cute human. This parenting thing […]

So this is what tired feels like  // Life with a baby

So this is what tired feels like // Life with a baby

The only way to describe the last 6 weeks is like I’ve been thrown into some crazy ass super powerful vortex which has completely turned my life inside out. It’s so annoying when you are pregnant and people can’t stop telling you how much your life is about to change. Yeah, no shit, I’m having […]
