This is a slow time of year for me with work. The summer and fall usually end up being very busy with senior photos and weddings. But once winter hits and the weather cools off and nature’s backdrop turns more brown and unappealing, the phone calls for sessions slow down. It’s just a natural and …

Seven Years Ago Today…
Seven years ago today. …That’s how long we’ve been together now. Though, it doesn’t really feel like that long ago to me. Seven years ago today, you asked me to be your Valentine. … Do you remember that night? It’s still so very vivid for me. Everything about it; from what I did that day …
A Haircut and Trust
Yesterday was one of my much loved hair appointment days. **sigh** I look forward to going to Studio 7 every couple months or so to get my hair done. It doesn’t matter how stressed out I feel or what’s going on in my life, I always walk out of the salon feeling much more calm, …
Charlie’s 2 Year Old Photos | Decatur, IL | Children Photography

Showin’ Some Love
It’s been a while since I put together a Showin’ Some Love post, so I figured I’d do just that today. This Showin’ Some Love is going to focus on music…or more specifically, bands. Thanks to my husband I have a rather eclectic taste in music. I listen to everything from Metallic to Eisley to …
Embracing My Smallness
There are days when I embrace my smallness. I’m not talking about my actual height, although at 5’2″ I am a rather small person. What I’m talking about is a feeling… A feeling that often sweeps over me when I’m outside in the midst of nature particularly when I’m in the woods or a park …
Laila Fultz’s Baptism
A couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to get to attend my dear friend, Raeanna’s little girl’s baptism. It took place at noon at Holy Family Church in Decatur, IL. It was a beautiful service. Raeanna and Ryan’s families were all in attendence. Little Miss Laila was SO good! She didn’t cry at …
