Lymie Life | Reality Check

Lymie Life | Reality Check
“I just want you well again…’ I whisper these words to my husband  who tosses & turns in his sleep.  But before the words even leave my lips, I feel a strong wave of uncertainty wash over me.  I want to bury myself in his arms & pretend this life we’re living isn’t...

Summer Family Fun

Summer Family Fun
It always seems to come at the right time, a day like this… a day with a beautiful family, wonderfully well-behaved children that are a delight & thrill to photograph.  This is the kind of day that truly reminds me how great it is to photograph life’s moments. Perhaps you remember these...

Being Thankful

Being Thankful
Often times I find myself running around the house at lightening speeds, fixing lunches and filling cups, nursing the baby, playing games, chasing a naked little girl who needs clothing, digging splinters out of feet, racing to get children to the potty fast enough, stopping my daughter from trying to...

Three Beautiful Boys {my hubby’s family}

Lymie Life | My Lyme Chronicals

Lymie Life | My Lyme Chronicals
I’m asked every day about the current status of my chronically ill husband.  Most of my clients have shared in the difficult battle that my life has taken over the last three years.  It began with a serious bicycle accident, my husband broke both of his arms (at the same time) & his right...

Meeting the ‘Newest’ Rubye Leigh
I just returned to a gorgeous day in Kansas City after spending the last week back in Georgia with my family.  ( 60’s today & tomorrow- snow!?)  I rarely see my family these days… not only because of a hectic work schedule but also because of the daily complications my husband &...

Wichita for the Day

Wichita for the Day
I consider myself lucky to have such a connection with my clients.  It’s this connection that brings me back to photograph the same families year after year.  Such is the case with Katie & Yaw, whom recently welcomed their first child into the world.  We first met when I photographed their...

Fun with Brooke Mayo

Fun with Brooke Mayo
Mother Nature canceled our Photogirls retreat this year & I was really looking forward to a week away with some girlfriends.  I was nervous to leave my sick husband at home but desperate to have a few days to myself.  I was excited when my gal pal, Brooke Mayo, offered to have me out to her home...

Delivering your First Baby | What to Bring??
When you’re too big to bend over, you’ll find yourself contemplating when you’ll actually go into labor.  Will you be one of the fortunate few who actually go into labor on or before your own due date?  Or will you be induced a week after, when your ankles are so swollen they stay...

Last Saturday was a beautiful day & we decided to get the whole gang together.  Linda’s little gang- this time we included her hubby, Phillip.  We had a blast playing in the leaves & popping balloons.  Of course I always have fun with this family & I know I’ll always get unpredictable...

During the summer months, you might remember me blogging about our new neighbors.  We’ve been very fortunate in having Megan & Adam move in next door.  In fact, I haven’t had to make a run to the grocery store in a couple of weeks.  Megan’s kept my fridge complete with the essentials. ...

Watching Ella Grow
This baby girl is my adorably gorgeous niece. Well… technically she belongs to my cousin, Jennifer.  But here’s the deal:  Jennifer & I were born a month apart {I am the older & wiser one} and our families only lived 15 miles from one another.  So we grew up together more like...

A Day with Rob’s Kiddos {or, Taming the Ankle-Biters!}
I spent the afternoon at WonderScope last week. For those of you who haven’t been there, it’s a wonderful learning environment for kids under fifth grade, or so. I’m often asked what kind of things I like to do in my spare time. Well, the answer is that unless it involves some kind...
