The sunflowers at Forks of the River are in bloom. I’d never been there before until last week, but wowza. I’m ready to go back. If you’d like to snag a photo session before the sunflowers go away for the year, shoot me an email. Read more →

Hilton Head Photo Dump No. 2
Here is a second batch of photos from our Christmas week in Hilton Head. The fog never lifted, but it didn’t deter our beach time. The beach was dog-friendly, so Major wasn’t without his own playmates. Next batch here. Read more →
To the Atlantic and back
We took a minute and quickly went to Hilton Head. If you know us in real life, then you know how crazy our schedule can be. When we have family time, it’s intentional. Most people wouldn’t consider 24 hours at the beach to be worthwhile, but we do. They swam until sundown. Why not, right? Whenever I’m at the beach,… Read more →
A Sunday afternoon outing
“We need to get out of the house.” “Okay. What should we do?” “Let’s go to the mountains.” Read more →
Scouting with my model
I’ve been enjoying some photo sessions lately so looking for new spots to shoot has been on my mind. On Monday I asked Jackson to be my model and we went to a new spot that I thought would look gorgeous in the evening sun. I have a special family in mind for this place, so I wanted to make sure my instincts… Read more →
Then and Now
It was 2008. Chuck was in the academy while the boys and I lived in a two-bedroom apartment awaiting the big move to Texas. Jackson was two, Jeremy was nearly five, and Hank, our beloved coonhound, was eight. I snapped this photo with my flip-phone. It was a weekend, so they were likely anticipating a trip to the pool or… Read more →
Pictures from Christmas 2013
Wow, y’all. I’m pooped! This has been a fantastic year all around and it is definitely ending on a high note. This time last year, I had a bad case of the flu, so being sleep deprived this year is no biggie. There’s always another cup of coffee to drink. We had a wonderful Christmas with my side of the… Read more →
In Pictures
It snowed over the weekend, and from what I understand it’s supposed to snow tonight… Yeah, Salem and I are ready for spring. Can I get an amen? This was Saturday. By Sunday morning, all of that beautiful sunshine turned gray, so I threw the boys outside to play. When they couldn’t play outside, they were doing the usual. This… Read more →
And now they’re gone.
The Przylucki Texas trip was over almost as quickly as it began. Four days of driving for three days of visiting make for both a long and short trip, but despite the many miles it took for them to get here, I am thankful. It’s always been a desire of Becky’s and mine that our boys grow up as “together”… Read more →
Yes, I am that awesome.
Let it be known that I hooked up the new washing machine all by myself. Though that totally sounds like a five year old who just got herself dressed, let me say – I AM THAT EXCITED about it. Read more →
Flag Football and 7th Birthday (Photos)
Here are some photos from Jeremy’s first and second flag football game with a couple of photos from his birthday get-together in between. The parents are required to sit a good distance away from the playing field, and understandably so (those boys run all over the place!), but it doesn’t lend itself to great pictures. I’ve taken a ton but… Read more →
Jack’s Turn for the Jennie Shirt
Somehow I’ve hung onto a childhood shirt that dates back to the early 80s when we lived in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. It’s from the University of Southern Mississippi and it clearly has my name ironed on the back. In March 2008, I pulled it out of who-knows-where and gave it to Jeremy to wear. He was four and a half years… Read more →
Burning the Midnight Oil
Obviously my work on the book lagged while Mom was here, which is perfectly fine because I’m nearing a lot of down time that will allow me to make it up. However, on the first night without her here, I panicked over my two weeks of lounging and ended up running on the treadmill, then working on the book until… Read more →
