I am so excited to be continuing for yet another year with these wonderful women! This year we’ve decided to relax our “Portrait” requirements a bit, and will instead be focusing more on documenting our daily lives. So we’ve chosen to go with a theme of Gratefulness. I am so incredibly excited about it, and […]
This week got a little crazy so I ended up having to use iPhone pics for a few, but I’m keeping it up no matter what! (Week One is here, and Week Two here!) Day 15: …for long-standing family traditions! Day 16: …for Emily’s lemonade ice cream pie: Day 17: ……for independence–I can drive again!!!! […]
I am not great with storytelling images, and I am afraid I may not quite have achieved the intended purpose with these, because in retrospect they really are more like our Editorial assignment than anything else.

I am so excited about the themes we all decided on with our blog circle for this year, because once again I will have to step a bit out of my box to create each month’s image, and that is a wonderful thing! My portraits are normally all about light and joy, but to me […]
