Today I had the pleasure of braving the cold with the Terry family. You would never guess I was wearing two coats with their smiling faces pretending it was above freezing. We captured some of Indiana’s beauty to help tell the story of this exciting time in their lives. It will be wonderful to meet…

Baby Shoes
A few weeks ago I decided to learn how to crochet baby shoes. I loaded Emily up in the car, went to the craft store, bought some hooks and yarn, and found a youtube video to follow along with. My first attempts went surprisingly well! I’ve discovered that crocheting is the perfect craft for the…
Growing, We do it Every Day
So I was kind of a Barney junkie in the early 90s. My poor mother. She even filled a 6 hour VHS tape so I could watch the shows over and over again. These episodes had been largely forgotten, but now that Emily is hanging out with me all day I have had a sudden…
One Last Look
In the early morning hours I hear Emily lifting up her legs and slamming them back against her bed. The pack-n-play that she sleeps in is rattling around with each movement. Glancing over at the crib I see her legs straight up, her toes above the edge of the crib. I think she is growing…
Design: Annie Lynn’s Favorite Things
I have had the pleasure of working with the very talented fashion blogger, Annie Lynn, on her blog redesign. This design has been in the works for about a month and today I put the finishing touches on the live site! I absolutely love how the final design turned out: Check out Annie Lynn’s Favorite…
Design: Hasten the Work
My brother, Derick, is collaborating with other missionaries on a facebook page for member missionary work as part of his work as a full time missionary. I was thrilled when I got an email from him on a THURSDAY instead of the usual Monday to design a cover image for his page.
Design: Headbands by Elise
I had the neat opportunity to do some design work for my dear friend, Elise. She and I met our freshman year of college and instantly became friends. We’ve both graduated and now she lives way too far away, so it was especially fun to collaborate on this project for her business. She makes very…
Kershaw Family
This weekend I braved the freezing temperatures with this incredibly photogenic family. Jonathan was the first person we met in Indiana. Within hours of us pulling in with our ridiculously oversized truck he and a few other men from our church had arrived at our apartment and unloaded the entire contents in less than a…
Going Home from the Hospital
Andrew and I have taken quite a few pictures on our nice camera since Emily was born; however, it takes a lot more work to get the pictures off of that camera than my iTouch. Today I began going through the hundreds of pictures we’ve taken of Emily, starting out with the day we took…
School Pictures
While I was visiting Iowa a few weeks ago, we thought it would be fun for me to take Christine’s school pictures and Brian’s senior pictures. There was NO time during that trip, so we decided to do them over Labor Day weekend. I had a blast with these two! It was great to be…
