Tough day? Monday got the best of you? Need a little pick-me-up? Well, I have the perfect amount of love-bug-squish that's stronger than any triple shot espresso. Enter: a few selects from Quinn's newborn shoot with Laura Parker Photography (I'm saving most of them to keep 'em personal and to share with family and friends). Oh, and if you need me, I'll be in the corner trying to sop up my pool of "oh-my-god-i-love-you-so-much" tears while simultaneously trying to figure out how to ...
Week 10: Natural Environment
H<3ME; Week 10 of the 52 Week Photo Challenge. There's nothing quite like your pup's eagerness when you get home. She's forgiven you for leaving her all day and instead of harboring any hate, she's so happy to see you and take her nightly walk. Her happiness reaches peak levels when Josh and I are both home -- everything is complete then.

Week 9 Photo Challenge: Shadows
2X; Week 9 of the 52 Week Photo Challenge. We're friends, right? I can tell you my strange secrets and you won't judge me or question my childhood, right? Ok, good. I have to get this off my chest...

When I do finally get my hands on the camera (I'm looking at you, husband, who took the camera to ...
WEEK 8 PHOTO CHALLENGE: PANORAMA
Stitched Mountains; Week 8 of the 52 Week Photo Challenge. It's Sunday at 7 p.m. and we got home from our weekend trip to Squaw Valley a couple hours ago. The laundry is piled high and a there's a lengthy to-do list waiting for me. I'll momentarily pretend they don't exist as I'm determined not to miss a week of the 52 Week Photo Challenge. It's not too late, right? This week's challenge was to create a panorama using photo stitching. Uh, what? Creating a panorama on my iPhone is a breeze, ...
Week 7 Photo Challenge: A Faceless Story
The King; Week 7 of the 52 Week Photo Challenge. "Page. Lemmeeeeeee hold it." "Kaleb, you cannot spray your sister." "Lemmmmmeeeeeeee hold it." "Are you going to promise you won't spray your sister it?" "I hold it." Reluctantly, we gave a three-year-old the hose, praying that he wouldn't ambush his little sister or my camera (my family likes to live life on the edge, obviously). As his eyes widened, I was reminded that there's nothing quite like the pure joy of playing with the ...
