The twins have been aware of the camera for ages, but only recently have they begun to show interest in actually taking the pictures.

But I want to tell you about Gemma and our fundraising idea. Gemma has donated $2.00 from her piggy bank [...]

It has been a long time since we have had actual holiday cards printed. We sort of inadvertently took a couple of years off. I used to love planning the annual shoot with Gemma and getting the perfect photograph around which I enjoyed designing the perfect card. When they were printed and mailed out, I [...]

I met an amazing photographer, Ryan Marshall, at BlogHer and as I have had a chance now to get to know him better through his blog, I can see that he and his wife, Cole, are incredible parents and all around good people. I kinda (ok, really) wish they lived next door. I have a [...]
