I LOVE being a mom. I could eat sushi 3 times a day. If bookstores had beds in them, I'd have no reason to leave. My heart gets all fluttery when I am in a stationery store. Spanglish is my first language. Ikea is my new obsession. I listen to Paramore when editing photos, working out, and giving birth. I crave fast lenses and chocolate chip cookies every other day. Jesus Christ saved my life and continues to save me from myself.

I eat Chick-Fil-A four times a week, wish I had time to be cycling again, and bake a mean batch of chocolate chip cookies at least twice a month. (Why? Because my wife loves them.)

Mama said there’d be days like this… Post ‘o’ Thanks ::4::

The Van Pelt Family!

I first met the Van Pelts at the Ethiopian Dinner Extravaganza and had a wonderful time getting to know them better recently at the Raleigh Rose Garden, where we mostly chased little man Ross around and tried to snap a few pictures. What an adorable little man. Check out their slideshow HERE.

The Rubin Family!

While we were in Washington D.C. a few weeks ago, we managed to take some family pictures of this really lovely family at their home just outside the city. We felt so honored to be asked to take these photographs, and even more so, we appreciated their warmth and willingness to push through despite spotty...

The Lane Family

This shoot was such a blast– it was so fun to see how much Anna & Dawson have grown. Anna is such an amazing little model, and Dawson is a trip! Glad Mom brought snacks! (It’s always a good idea to have some on hand, especially when the shoot it close to suppertime.) Too bad...
