People always tell you before you become a parent how fast it all goes by. I never truly understood until I became a parent myself, and in the blink of an eye had a SEVEN year old! How?! Yesterday was his first day of second grade, and I can vividly remember when I was in […]

Photographing my kids at every age and stage is such a fun way to document their growth and personality. When I look at their images I can often hear the sound of their laughter, or the way their voices sound. If you know my youngest, Auden, at all, you know he is our little “Sour […]

We are currently in February 2022, so naturally I am just now getting to Rowen’s blog post that I meant to write LAST summer! Typical working-Mom life fashion.

It’s that time of year again! When the temperatures in Texas cool off for a few days, and then jump back up to 95 degrees, when the pumpkin spice lattes return at Starbucks before even a single leaf falls on the ground, and my personal favorite: it’s the time of year when I pull out […]

Seeing them learn new things everyday and watching their personality shine on a day-to-day basis is such a privilege. For the past 1,842 days I have had a front row seat to this […]
