Silly, but not so silly.

I did something a few minutes ago… a silly little challenge that I had only 5 minutes to complete- so it isn’t fabulous, and the photo quality *is not* professional, but this is important. WHAT is important?  Well, it’s important to document your life.  To stop and smell the roses and sometimes pick up your...

Darlene - I need to do this more often – I do feel like I miss the little details in my life sometimes. Thanks for the reminder.

Mommy Needed a Turn | Sacramento Family Photographer

If you haven’t ever been to Ft. Bragg, California you are greatly missing out on a serene and gorgeous bit of Earth.  It isn’t an easy location to get to.  (Especially coming from Lincoln, California, in my humble opinion!)  You drive through fields of nuts and fruits, next around Clear Lake (which is crazy beautiful!)...

Innocence | Ft. Bragg Children’s Photographer

A Bee Sting

My poor little boy…  he had a bee sting his eye! I wished that I could have taken all the pain and awfulness away, but I couldn’t.  As his Mommy, I just had to sit this life experience out with him and wait to see what happened.  It certainly wasn’t a fun experience for anyone! ...

Beth - Thanks again everyone- he is SO much better now! Today I was finally able to do his own beach session since the swelling was ALL GONE! :)

Renee W - Ahhw, sweet thing, I hope he’s feeling better!

Petra King - Awe! As a mom I literally wanted to reach out and cuddle him.
What a place to get stung. Thank goodness it wasn’t any closer!!

Stacey Lund - Sorry your little boys got stung. I remember how it felt to be stung in the eyes. I had that happen to me, when I was a child. I hope your little boy is alright now!

Beth - Testing to see if I can leave a love note! Thanks for the sweet messages Becky!

Becky - So glad he’s better!!! Stings are scary.

Becky - Awww, poor little guy. Glad he’s doing better.

Grilling in the Rain

I figured since it was the weekend I would try to set a standard in talking about something personal every weekend.  This weekend my Uncle Jeff get’s the time.  You see, Jeff just celebrated retiring from the Air Force after having had spent over 26 years of active duty serving our country! WOW! Jeff is...
