I’ve set a 30-minute timer on my phone. I’m going to start doing this more often. I think it will help me to not get distracted by shiny objects and to be more diligent with my time. 30-minutes. Week 4, here we go! +++ PHOTO 1: A big frustration across the board with moms who [...]

Photography Friday: Critique Me {Week 3}
Happy Friday! I seriously cannot believe that it was 80 degrees when I was in Tennessee and is back in the 30′s here in Cincinnati. I do love me some winters, but I’m ready to say see ya later. I just need a little time outside, you know? I love the idea though that each [...]
Photography Friday: Critique Me {Week 2}
I’m sure you can understand that writing the “critique me” posts takes time. A chunk of time and time I’m more than willing to give if it means others are truly learning from it. Last night I worked for over 2 hours on the original post and literally as I was writing THE LAST LINE [...]
Photography Friday: Critique Me! {Week 1}
Welcome to week 1 of “Critique Me!” A couple of notes – if you get anything at all out of these posts please send in photos yourself to guarantee they continue to happen. There were only a few of you who sent in photos (6-7 I believe) and I am tipping my hat to your [...]
My 2 Week Teaching Series @ MCP {summer 2010}
Last Spring I was approached by Jodi Friedman at MCP Actions to write a guest post. I wrote her back immediately with an email loaded with smiley faces and exclamation points. You know the kind I’m talking about! ; ) In my overzealous-go-big-or-go-home-exclamation-and-emoticon-overloaded ways my one-day, guest post turned into a two-week teaching series. Seriously. [...]

Please indicate if you would like [...]
Photography Fridays … something new?
Simply because I’ve had to take quite a few things off my plate – 503 speaking – in order to spend max amount of time with Charley Photography Fridays has come to a pause. (If you haven’t been a long-time reader here make sure to click on “fridays” at the top of my blog to [...]
the “small” secret we’ve been keeping …
our entire lives changed in April when we got the call from the agency that a birth mom wanted to meet us. It was in that moment that I knew this story was meant to be ours. Two and a half months later we finally welcomed our baby girl into the world (this past Thursday, [...]
Photography Friday: Studio 6.23
Dear Sweet Readers, May I be cheesy for a moment and say I miss you? It’s true. I love blogging and I love my readers – the secret and non-secret ones. ; ) The reason I’ve gone missing is because a few weeks ago I was sitting in a coffee shop here in town working. [...]
