the way she wanted to walk
So many memories of my girl’s younger years have faded-but for some reason, Sophie’s tendency to put her shoes on the wrong feet has stuck with me. She would grab her shoes and put them on before preschool and 9 times out of 10 the left shoe would be on the right foot and the…

I woke up on my own at 7:00 am. Ellie was home for the weekend and I knew that she was hoping to get on the road by 9:00 to head back to St George. I hopped out of bed and went straight to the kitchen. I put together a breakfast…nothing super fancy (Trader Joe’s…

as we let our own light shine
Danny, Ellie and I studied the book YOU ARE A BADASS AT MAKING MONEY by Jen Sincero together. I loved our little bookclub! It was the second time I read it. We decided to meet over the phone once a week after each chapter (Ellie lives a few hours away). Ellie is in her last…

a new partnership
50mm | f1.2 | 1/4000 | iso250 October 25, 2014: It was the first day I had strapped a 50mm 1.2L Canon lens on. I rented it for a photoshoot I had that day. While still in my possession, I decided to try it out on my family members. We went up the street and…
