Monday Ice skating. This can not possibly be good for her ankles. Or her knees. Which reminds me I need a good orthopedist for her. She is so pronated when she runs knees in feet flaring, its almost too painful for me to watch. I think pilates would actually be perfect for her but I…

Room For Change // Week 27
27 weeks into this project (life in session series) and I can say that it has been harder than anything I have taken on before. Although I put this on hiatus for a few months I never stopped taking photos most of the time that has been the only form of journaling I’ve done. There’s…
Earthquake! She’s 8 // Week 13
Ok so I hate to admit it I botched Week 12. I don’t even have a good reason either. You would think that after three solid months of doing this I would have it down. I do. Well at least I thought I did. My workflow is pretty simple. I shoot with my big camera,…
This is 46 // Week 7
What a difference a week can make. Despite the lingering effects of tax liens and food poisoning in week 5 followed by the harrowing experience of defcon level 10 pain in Week 6, I can say this. I survived and dare I say it, even thrived in week 7. That overnight trip and all of the…
Past the Orange Curtain // Week 3
Introducing a new series I’m calling Life in Session. I have been wanting to do a recap series for a long time and after two failed attempts at a 365 project I felt it was time to try something like Tracy’s Everyday Life on Shutterbean. She always has her week nicely wrapped up in a post full…
Target Cart | Part Duex
This is a continuation of last Friday’s post What Is In My Target Cart. I know you’re kinda shocked I came through on this one aren’t ya. I know I surprised myself too. Initially when I sent out to get a couple things I came home with A LOTTA THINGS. That happens to all of us doesn’t it? Just…
Instax Vacation Photos
I brought one of my favorite instant cameras on vacation my Instax 210 made by Fuji. You can still buy the Instax today (check my Amazon recommendations) and Fuji continues to make film readily available. I can find the film on eBay (its also on amazon as well) for about $1 per photo, (down to .50-.75 for…
Dear Fifteen Year Old
Dear 15 year old son, It has become glaringly apparent that my time with you is quickly coming to a close. No matter how much love a fifteen year old thinks he does or does not need, is irrelevant. You can never love a child too much. I am your biggest fan. I have always said…
Smash Book | Pinterest on Paper
Ok so I now realize I am late to the party on this one but HOLY CROW people this is like emancipation for my junk drawer! Have you heard about SMASH books? If you don’t know me I tend to surround myself with lots of inspiration in the form of tear sheets, paint swatches, polaroids just to…
Shutter Sisters Camp Asilomar
It’s only been a couple days since I was was forced to come back to reality after spending a weekend at camp. Shutter Sisters Camp is an annual retreat for women photographers looking to connect with other women who are also interested in photography as their primary creative expression medium. The 70 campers came from from…
