one of the negatives of being in the business is that i never find/make the time to edit my own photos. and i take less photos of my own kids/family. recently my dad has been not doing the best and i honestly freaked out a bit last week and pulled out old photos to look...

i am out the door for a full day of errands…lots going on in my life in all honesty as my dad has been doctoring and not doing the best. it stinks to have our parents health lessening and we have it on both sides. my dad has myastheniusgravidus and diabetes and my mother in...
just a quick personal note as it is the first day of 2012. as i get older i feel like resolutions have become more important to me personally. this year todd/i are faced with even more health issues of our parents…and have seen others our own age pass away. life is short and 2012 is...
