2014 Daily Selfie: Week 8 {In the Dark Room}

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was absolutely wonderful: the sun was out, I disconnected from work, and I got to hang out with my family. Seriously, what more could I ask for? Not much, I tell ya. Well, I’ve decided to revamp my 2014 Daily Selfie posts. I knew this would happen… But…

My Favorite Moments from 2013 {In the Cafe}

So, here it is, the last day of 2013. This is all kinds of crazy. I mean, I know time passes but, gosh, doesn’t it seem like the older you get the more quickly time passes? I wonder why that is… While sitting here watching The Twilight Zone marathon {an annual tradition in my home},…

I’ve decided to join my friend, Beatrice Clay, for a photography challenge called “31 Days 31 Photos 31 Stories: My Favorite Things“.

Week 2: Happiness is…

I tend to be very critical of my photography. In my head I have this image that I want to create. This scene I want to set. This mood I want to capture. And it never seems to materialize. I know that some of it is that I don’t have the skill to create what…

#FMSPHOTOADAY on Instagram

Hi, friends! How’re you doing? I’m doing well. The kids came home to celebrate Twin A’s and B’s 19th birthday. Nineteen, y’all! It was so nice having everyone home.
