I spent a lot of time growing up at my Grandparents home, and that of my Auntie and Uncle’s. It has been a joy for me to be able to take my children to their homes so that they too, have similar memories growing up of tea and scones at Auntie Norma’s or the [...]
One year ago, this weekend, my brother was killed in an accident. I miss his jokes, his laughter, his concern, his dedication to his family, and his fun loving manner with his nieces and nephews. I cannot believe that a year has passed since I saw him.
Time fades our memories. It dulls [...]

Kerry asked me to do her family’s portrait on her parent’s farm. When I got there, I spied this really cool little chicken coop, complete with a crazy, flying chicken on it! I thought it was a great spot for a fun family portrait! Thanks Kerry!

She wanted to have portraits done on a beach with water while [...]
