Babies

August 20th, 2010 · No Comments · Mi Familia, Portraits

I have taken pictures of a few different babies this summer, so here’s a sampling of pictures.  This is what I’ve been doing when I’m not working on the 365 project or on vacation.  (Though some of these were taken on vacation.)

Goodbye Students, Hello Summer

May 13th, 2010 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Mi Familia, Pointless Updates

Oh, ignore my fiddling.  I’m trying to do some stupid stuff that I probably shouldn’t do.  I’ll make these changes, then change my mind, delete it all, and then go back to ignoring everything except for writing half-hearted blog posts every once in awhile. So, yes, I’ve started making blog posts out of my tweets [...]

Bartow Sisters and Families

November 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · Mi Familia, Portraits

A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted (on Facebook, of course!) by a friend from high school who lives in Columbia near me.  Her two sisters and their families were coming into town for the weekend, and she wondered if I would take some pictures of all of them together.  What did I say? [...]

Off to Branson

October 15th, 2009 · No Comments · Mi Familia, Travel

I am looking forward to a fun weekend with my family in Branson, Missouri! We leave tomorrow and we’re staying at some huge vacation rental, and the plan is mostly: go-carts, mini-golf, board games, junk food, football game, outlet mall shopping, and an IMAX movie. With the exception of the IMAX movie, it’s pretty much [...]

Lynn & Justin’s Family

July 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Engagement, Mi Familia, Portraits

My sister-in-law has been my sister-in-law for such a long time now that I consider her family to be my family, even though I rarely get to see them.  But I was thrilled to get to visit with my sister-in-law’s sister and her boys and her fiancee earlier this summer, in preparation for the big [...]

A New Baby Brother

July 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Mi Familia, Portraits

I’ve been shooting Bethany and her family since she was born, and now I can say that for her new baby brother Owen as well! Welcome Owen! His dark eyes just kill me.  He didn’t show them off too willingly during this session, at which he was only about two weeks old.  He was much [...]

Every Weekend Should Be a Four-Day-Weekend

July 7th, 2009 · No Comments · Holidays, Mi Familia, What I Did Last Weekend

Wow, four day weekends are GREAT!  Woo! I’ll take another one of those, please. This one was like a regular two-day weekend bookended by another two-day weekend, so I came out of it feeling both socialized and productive.  Yay for purpose! As far as socializing, the Fourth of July is always the weekend of a [...]

My Cousin Visits; I Sell Some Stuff

April 29th, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Mi Familia, Movies, Photography

After finishing The Grapes of Wrath a few weeks ago, I made an effort to rent the movie version this week and I watched it last night.  You know what’s a good book? The Grapes of Wrath.  You know what isn’t a great book-to-movie transition, despite being listed on the AFI Top 100 list?  The [...]

Holiday Celebrations Galore

December 29th, 2008 · No Comments · Holidays, Mi Familia, Travel, What I Did Last Weekend

This is the first time I’ve waited so long for a family Christmas celebration, and I have to say that I’m disappointed with how quickly the rest of the world dismisses the holiday.  Trees are lining the curbs and lots of people have taken down their holiday lights.  My family has always left all of [...]

Bethany and Family

December 26th, 2008 · No Comments · Mi Familia, Portraits

We’re making a habit of this! It’s amazing how much you can grow in six months, especially when those six months constitute a full third of your whole life.  I did pictures of Bethany and her family back in June, when she had her first birthday, and now here we are, six months later, photos [...]
