i watch them play.  in and out of the curtain, laughing and running into each other.  two point five years apart, roughly. when i look at them, i see that the oldest was once four.  and he was once 18 months.  and it’s hard to remember what he was like then.  moments flash back between […]

learning new things about our new home daily.  the jaw-drop-smile kind. there are roosters right behind our local market.  in someone’s yard.  and they doodle-do all day at random intervals.  but you won’t hear it unless you stop.  and wait for it. the church bells ring in the town center.  all day at the most bizarre and […]

walking in the woods does not sound pleasant to me.  the woods, at least where i am from, brings up awful flashes of serial killers and other such unfortunate thoughts.  one of the things i was most looking forward to, when moving back to germany, was the gorgeous walking paths found strewn about the country.

remember this awesome family?  you know…the ones i teased you with a few weeks back?  well here is the full session.  i love these people.  if i could put them in my pocket and take them everywhere with me, i would. don’t you just love them?  soren and his red hair and curiosity and witty […]

she approached me over a year ago about this session.  she claimed she had to have this and there was lots of rapid hand movements as she spoke.  she was serious.  i was humbled.  she is a friend, a meal-maker-and-deliverer-for-you-when-you’ve-just-had-a-baby, a bible-study-grouper, a play-dater and an amazing florist whom i have had the pleasure of […]

when i start a photo session with my clients, it sometimes takes a while for us all to “get it”.  they want to look at me and smile or maybe pose or do duck face but i want them to act natural.  so we play some games, i mess with their heads and within no […]

working on these lovelies…and kinda wishing i had a sister.  they make it look SO awesome.  😉

the arrows taunted us as we made our way home.  they promised fresh berries in a small field.  it was sunset and we had no where to be, so we played the maze of houses, made a few wrong turns and ended up in a double wide’s drive way.  and it was there.  a small, […]
