I was having a ruff day. Bad enough for it to be ruff instead of rough. I had an argument last night with my husband. It was one of the worst ones we have had. He said something, then I said something back with edge in my voice he said something with more edge and I replied with even more edge and a mean glare. Then silence. The kind were...
I have never found more accurate words to express my love for photography than “it is my passion”. It is something I love to do but at the same time it can give me the worst feelings in the world. Never have I felt so comfortable than behind the lens. At the same time that’s when I have felt my most vulnerable. I have a million doubts and second guesses,...

I wonder how he can look at me with a smile, kiss me, and say “I missed you” after I...

Our daughter turned 2 and has mastered terrible two’s while being adorable within 5 minutes of each other. Friends and family of ours got married and/or had babies of their own. Jacob decided to add another degree to his schooling. I...
