    I love all these! I especially love that last one – he looks like he’s having the time of his life!!! That is such a great capture!!

Zach loves the snow.  he’s one of those kids that never gets cold enough to want to go inside.  When he’s not throwing snow everywhere, he’s usually eating it.  Connor on the other hand typically lasts about ten minutes and then wants none of it, the proof in a few of these images.  We had […]

    oh my gosh great job this month! LOL I love the note!!!!

I started this 10 on 10 project back in Januar and it’s finally come to an end (is it bad to admit that I’m not very sorry to say good bye).  I won’t say I followed the rules too closely but I’m ok with that, it still got me out shooting personal stuff instead of  […]

I missed October’s 10 on 10…in fact our entire circle did.   But November is done!  One more month to go and we are finished this project.  I think I may look for something different to attempt next year.  These projects are great – they get you out shooting when at times its pretty easy to […]

    Hey Sara!

    I emailed you a few days ago. Not sure if I have your current email address, but I wanted to know if you’re doing the Elf on the Shelf for your boys again this year. Take some photos and post them in your blog! Last year’s were really funny and creative!

    Have a great Holiday! xo
