happy birthday dad!


My dad's birthday is always one that gets the "two-fer" because it so close to Christmas . I wanted to make sure he got his two gifts this year.
On top of his gift is a mini car.. almost identical to the car we used to have we aptly named, " the OOOGA" because of the sound of the horn. Underneath the "oooga " is a kit kat bar, which he loves. ( He always used to snatch them from my Halloween bag. )

Happy Birthday, Dad!

my charlie brown tree


Anyone who has been to my home office realizes that I don't leave a lot of room to spare so my niece helped me find the perfect little ( emphasis on little ) tree for my office. The lobster under the tree is Canon's favorite dog toy, she carries it around when she is a little sad.. I guess she thought my tree looks like it needed her lobster to cheer it up!

a little blog catch up





just a few shots from a free fall photo session I had.. although these models are near and dear to me. these are my nieces and nephew and their friends. They arrived just as I was breaking down the setting.. hence the boxes and tent in the background. Canon the wonder dog felt it necessary to be wherever the kids were, she even dressed up for the occasion.

I have a leprechaun in my house..

All these socks.. and not a match in the bunch... unreal.

happy 11th, sara!


One of the benefits of having lots of aunts and uncles, is that we can all chip in and buy a big gift. My niece Sara was completely shocked when she opened her birthday present. Can you tell she really wanted an Ipod?? Now, I was only bummed that I didn't have video.. because she shrieked!

Happy Thanksgiving Week!



I am doing all I can to wrap up anything I can before Thanksgiving. Anything you don't hear from me on by Tuesday morning.. then it will be the following week that I'll get back to you. My dog, Canon began the week by digging out the remains of a whole chicken and left me two very clean plastic containers, no signs of the chicken...


I will only be available on Monday ( that is right , I will have Monday hours ) and Tuesday. I do have some photo shoots and a very important date with my niece who is celebrating her 11th birthday! ( I have a tradition of picking up my nieces and nephews on their birthday and spending quality time with them. )

I am also having a little ( emphasis on little ) surgery so I will not be working again until the following week.

Most of all------------- HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY. Hug them tight, listen to their stories ( again) , and be thankful!

What is more American than cute kids on a farm?


This is J and E. We had a remarkable November day, that felt more like a September one. We walked all around the family farm.. and lots of discoveries followed like shadows and and a tiny frog. ( Luckily the frog was released in the nick of time.. there were moments I didn't think he was going to make it.. )















This is one of my favorite images in a long time. The true essence of childhood curiosity.

OH HAPPY DAY!!



Meet baby A. His mom, Sarah, and I were college roommates and she and her husband have been anxiously waiting for the day they could meet this little guy and welcome him home forever. This weekend , one short flight away, I was able to meet him , too. My friend and I couldn't help but continue to be amazed at this little person, and in awe of God's blessings in our lives. How can you look in that sweet face and not be amazed?

My friend and I have experienced all that life has to offer over the years ..

a Guinness ( or several ) while we lived in Ireland together
a car mishap ( I drove into a construction site in the pouring rain.. not my finest moment )
the heartbreak of loss
a few too many Lifetime movies
ridiculous weight gain ( those silly Europeans with their incredible chocolate and fine tasting beers)
innumerable hugs and belly busting laughs
and the incredible journeys of love and marriage

But nothing thus far has compared to seeing my friends become parents. I love you guys, and I am excited to watch your little man grow and learn , and I feel blessed to be a part of his life and yours!


















Not only are my friends great parents, this is their pup who is becoming a Leader Dog through The Seeing Eye. The first puppy they raised is already hard at work as a a Leader Dog. He was dressed up and ready to be a part of the Halloween Parade.


Anyone who knows me, knows what a big proponent of adoption I am , and will always be..
if you are in the Ann Arbor area, look into these agencies...
Hands Across the Water
and Catholic Social Services
