Days.

I have been having so much fun at the studio lately. I love photographing  and assisting with the newborn shoots. I may actually love creating props and sets just as much…and when it all comes together? Magic. I can’t wait to post some images of what I’ve been up to and will soon. Noah and Chloe are [...]

Kindergarten

Big. Huge. Sigh. Today is Noah’s first day of kindergarten. I cried…even though the school is great and the teachers are amazing and I know he is going to be better than fine. Mommy kiss is in his pocket. He has his uniform, backpack, and cute new shoes. And that beautiful smile! My little nervous [...]

Fight Club and my kids

I should be wrapping gifts right now but instead I am watching Fight Club and thinking about Noah and Chloe. They are likely asleep right now at their grandmother’s house…and I wish I was performing our bedtime routine. A hug, a kiss, and a couple games of rock, paper, scissors. Sometimes rock, paper, scissors, bomb, [...]

sweetface.

Chloe just had to model my newest blanket this morning when I was taking photos to list it in my etsy shop. She can be so sweet and wonderful. And then. Sometimes she’s not. She pretty much spent the rest of the day kicking/screaming/crying on the floor. I don’t know what gets into her but [...]

pumpkin day.

We decide to go pick out some pumpkins today and discovered a little festival…complete with bouncy house. After some rides and a haybale tunnel we set out for the perfect pumpkins. And pumpkin choosing is very serious business. Chloe found her favorite fairly quickly but Noah had a vision…a big and perfect vision. I didn’t [...]

robot birthday party.

Noah turned 5. There was no way to turn back the clock no matter how many baby pictures I looked at or how long I looked at them. He is a big boy. And we celebrated with a robot party. I made his cake. Um, 2 cakes. Because the first one FAILED. So, here is [...]

5 years.

Yes. I am awake at 4 am. I have been awake for over an hour. I can’t believe Noah is 5 years old today. 5 is officially a big boy…no more baby or toddler or preschooler. At 5 years old he plays flag football, masters video games and operates a computer like a pro, adores [...]

robot party in the works.

I am gearing up for Noah’s 5th birthday (wha…5?!?!) and as usual I waited too long to feel confident ordering things online. So I’m in panic mode and nothing will help me now except for the end of his party. I thought I would swear off of parties for good after the last few but [...]

Geauga Lakes’s Wildwater Kingdom

We had a great day at Geauga Lakes’s Wildwater Kingdom! I started out trying to capture the fun on my small point and shoot camera (so glad I left my big camera at home) but soon handed it off so that I could get in on the action. It didn’t take long before it ended [...]

Shutterfly Experience and card giveaway

Every April and September I am faced with the sometimes daunting tasks involved with planning a child’s birthday party. If you are like me, you want your child’s birthday to be really special. This year as I tearfully but gratefully begin to plan Noah’s 5th birthday (he’s nearly 5?!?!) I’ve been looking at the beautiful [...]
