It was my first bridal expo show ever. I was so nervous. I had no idea how to price our wedding packages. They ranged from $1285-$3000. I had no idea how to build a photography booth at an expo. My parents let me borrow a bunch of antique furniture, and Brian I tried to create [...]

A Video on My Doorstep…
On Monday night, I opened a package that I found on my doorstep. It was a plain CD with a simple “thank you” written on the outside. What I watched has to be the most incredible thank you I’ve ever received. I’m speechless. I’m in tears trying to find the words. I kept this [...]
Thankful for…
I LOVE Thanksgiving. I think it’s one of my favorite holidays. It doesn’t have the hustle and bustle of Christmas. Instead, it slows life down for me. When I’m done writing this post, I’m going to make pumpkin pies with the kids while the turkey cooks away. Thanksgiving is going to be an intimate affair [...]
Noah Biorkman‘s mom posted this on Noah care page. I thought you’d love knowing what a difference your cards and prayers meant. Thank YOU for giving…so quickly…without reservation. Love you all. Come back at 2pm for a special announcement that you and your baby may get to participate in! (Yep, TWO posts today! ) Have [...]
Christmas Cards for a Five Year Old Boy: Meet Noah Biorkman
I’m putting today’s blog post on hold after receiving this email yesterday. A dear friend sent this to me, and I’ve done some digging to see if this situation is really true. I wish it wasn’t. This is what she wrote; Dr Tom Curran is a radio personality, and he is in the process of [...]
Making a Tough Call (it’s a long one this morning)
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend of dressing up. We certainly did. Brian was causing the neighborhood women to swoon as Edward Cullen from Twilight. I promise to show images soon. It’s also been fun getting your Halloween photos and hearing how you put my Spooky Photo Tips to practice! I’ll try to [...]
The Pink Ribbon: Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
We are back from an amazing trip with Sony at Photo Plus Expo. Brian posted some fun images on Saturday from the Sony World Photography Awards. One of my favorite highlights was when my publicist from Random House and Sony met and started forming what they are calling “Team Me Ra” . Those two women [...]
This Calls for the Wonder Woman Belt!
Got a call yesterday to fly out TODAY for an amazing project. (It’s not the Oprah Winfrey Show, but it is that level of AMAZING.) Can’t say where I’m going or what it’s about. When I get the green light, you’ll know. But even though I can’t share details, you can still pray for me [...]
When All Holds are Loosed, What Words Come Out?
I woke up in the dark this morning. The house was quiet. I felt the water calling me–calling me to untwist, stretch and glide. I went in faith. The cold pool was almost baptismal in how it shocked me into waking. As I swam, the smallest and deepest of knots undid themselves. My mind started [...]
A Sweet and Unexpected Welcome Home!
Brian and I came home last night to the sweetest presentation of “Welcome Home” surprises on our bed. I had to share. It’s to cute not too. We have the BEST kids in the world! Pascaline transcribed for her and Blaze. They took the word Mother and Father and made their own poems. Pascaline said [...]
