Punctuality is important - IMPORTANT! It is a sign of respect. It shows others that you value their time. It is something that I don't think a lot of people recognize as being more than "on time." I cannot stand when people make me wait for more than 5 or 10 minutes. Tardiness is not… Continue reading Punctuality Pet Peeves

Copper Falls, WI Camping Trip
Now that summer is here we wanted to take her camping. Our first destination is Copper Falls. This is about a 4.5 hour drive from our house.Shiva did very well, but did not sleep a wink. She even used Nick's shoulder as a headrest!
When your blood is on your hands…
I hate it when you smack a mosquito that has landed on you and is nibbling on your skin. Then SPLAT you have blood all over your hand! Damn Bloodsuckers...

I become an insomniac when I travel for work…
Sleeping is something that I have always been good at. I can sleep in the car, I can sleep on a bus, I can sleep on a plane, and as I go on listing places this sounds more like a Dr. Seuss rhyme. However, whenever I travel for business I cannot sleep worth a lick.… Continue reading I become an insomniac when I travel for work…
I love the rolls!!
I did my first 3 month old baby shoot this week. I am not only in love with this little guy (he belongs to one of my best friends), but in love with this age. So fun!! He was so pudgy and reminded me of my little girl at that age. Overall I am happy… Continue reading I love the rolls!!
Frustrated, but learning…
I have been working this year on photographing people. My friends and family are kind enough to let me give it a whirl. I am not sure if this will ever be a profession, but I love giving them this gift. About a week ago I did my first maternity / family portrait session. We… Continue reading Frustrated, but learning…
Powerless Moments

It’s my reproductive system
I cannot stand when people ask if my husband and I are going to have more children. A. It's rude - What if we couldn't but had not wanted anyone to know??? What if we were trying and having trouble conceiving?? B. It's none of their business - Even family seems to think questions like… Continue reading It’s my reproductive system
When I became an adult…
Over the last 31 years I have experienced many moments where I have Officially became an adult. Here is a list of these pivotal moments:
Peanut Butter & Pickle Sandwiches
A hidden gem found from a game of Truth or Dare. Way back in 8th grade three of my girlfriends and I were having a sleepover. After the usual gossip, manicures and such we decided to play Truth or Dare. I always like to keep things exciting and tend to choose Dare.
Father’s Day Smoked Ribs – Samsung Galaxy S7 post
Lately my husband has gone above and beyond. Between the kid, the dog and the house he has been superman. Lately I have been consumed with my new job and my health; leaving me little time or energy to help put.

I love how looking through his books I am inspired to step out of my comfort zone and try to photography interesting people.
Anxiety
I'm fine, normal even. If I didn't tell you, you would never know.
Budding Photographer
Recently I have begun to dabble in people...real live people...EEK!! They are terrifying. They move. They can't see what I am thinking. They have a finite amount of patience.
Eldorado Canyon State Park
On my first day in Colorado I started at Eldorado Canyon State Park. It took a little bit to find the parks entrance. Now when I say a little bit, I really mean it was NUTS. You are driving through this little town on a residential street. Except that this residential street is all sand and gravel. Not a big deal right? Wrong! There are holes everywhere. So many that you cannot avoid them.
Chautauqua Park
While waiting for my brother to get off work in Boulder I drove around looking for somewhere to cause trouble. I stumbled upon a sign for a City Park. Bazinga! Trouble has been found.
First Official Business Trip
After recently receiving a promotion I was sent to Colorado to one of our main offices for training. I have traveled alone on many occasions, but never on a business trip. It was quite a moment for me saying that I would be out of town for work.
Colorado Eats
Food is happiness, sustenance, comfort and pleasure. Food is something that makes my soul sing. It is something that brings people together. Food can be made with love. It can give a physical hug when you need it most.
