Yesterday would’ve been a full bottle day if only I drank wine. The day started with one of my children losing their mind - to a degree I’ve not yet had the privilege to witness. So much so that the majority of my morning was spent trying to usher a return of sanity I know that … Continue reading May 6, 2016 Five for Friday

Mother Nurture Montessori Preschool
I'd never actually been in a Montessori preschool before last week. I've heard about them, and truthfully, I thought my son's preschool was sort of similar to Montessori, but now I know it's not. I've got to say, Montessori is something close to awesome. At least Miss Jessika's Mother Nurture Preschool is. It worked out … Continue reading Mother Nurture Montessori Preschool
April 14, 2016 – Narrated
The raindrop landed on my head. I had known it was going to rain, and I had my jacket, but I didn’t pull up my hood. It was just a few drops. I liked it. When I turned back I felt the wind that had been at my back. It wasn’t as nice on my … Continue reading April 14, 2016 – Narrated
Wallace’s
I absolutely love Day-in -the-Life photography. Seeing life through someone's else perspective, walking in their shoes for a tiny bit is just so incredibly interesting. Because real life is truly amazing, and I'm beyond convinced that nothing is ordinary. At this point, I can't actually do day-in-the-life shoots. My people still need me in a … Continue reading Wallace’s

Jonathan – Portland Crossfit trainer
My cousin Jonathan is a trainer at Crossfit Portland, and I recently shadowed one of his personal training sessions with his client, Misty. Misty is hoping to compete in the Crossfit games and is pretty impressive. I learned all kinds of things about bumper plates, keeping one's core stable and why coffee is so much better than … Continue reading Jonathan – Portland Crossfit trainer

Charlene is the baker & cake decorator at Sweet Cream Bakery. She makes some of the coolest looking cakes I've ever seen (you can check out her facebook page here for images of some of the cakes). Last week, on the day she makes cookies for local stores, we met at her bakery and made … Continue reading Sweet Cream Bakery – Damascus small business
Introductions are tricky
A couple of days ago I saw a post on Facebook from my old high school. It’s a small private school and they have a Director of Development. He was asking alumni to describe their profession - always a good list to have on hand for a school’s director of development. I clicked through to … Continue reading Introductions are tricky
Family Shoot – Shanks family
Andrea was one of my son's teachers for first grade. She's amazing - super fun, super organized and super engaging. She even got him to like reading! I met up with her family and her parents and sister's family to capture some day in the life photos for them. I love love love being able … Continue reading Family Shoot – Shanks family
