I admit it. I love Valentine’s Day. There’s just something nice about people being nice and expressing their love and appreciation for others, whether it be a significant other, their children, their parents, friends, grandparents or anyone else. I just like it. I like seeing the slightly embarrassed man buying a big bouquet of roses […]

I think I’ve said it once, but I’ll say it again, I love birthdays! They’re just so fun, especially children’s birthdays because they get so excited. My nephew, Cecil, turned three this summer and was so excited for his cake. And I was excited to capture the moment and also because his cake was an […]

I’ll admit it, I love fairs. It’s not the rides or the food that gets me excited, it’s the animals, the exhibits and the lighting. I always go check out all of the animals first and of course try to convince my husband that we absolutely need the fuzziest, floppiest eared rabbit they have. It […]

I love birthday parties, especially the ones celebrating first birthdays. There’s always balloons, great food and cake smashing. Thomas’ party was no different. It featured a book theme, so not only did the food match up with various children’s books, but everyone was instructed to bring a book in lieu of a gift. Plus, the […]

I know I’ve mentioned a couple of times that I love Fourth of July and fireworks, but I guess I left out the part where I only love professional fireworks. Those fireworks you buy at those roadside firework stands actually make me really nervous. I just don’t like them. That said, my husband’s family lit […]

Lately I’ve shot a wide variety of stuff. This month alone I’ve shot fall foliage at Skyline Drive, a baby shower, trips to the state fair and the pumpkin patch, pumpkin carving and two sports–volleyball and football. Of course, with all that going on, it’s only right to post a sneak peek so check out […]

This summer, Massaponax Baptist Church hosted its annual Vacation Bible School, but really stepped it up a notch. The theme was “Colossal Coaster World,” which meant lots of carnival-type decorations. Thanks to dozens of volunteers, each room had a theme including waterslides, popcorn, cotton candy and more. A roller coaster was even constructed in the […]

In early June, the pastor of my church decided to try something a little different–family fun day. Instead of having our normal indoor worship service after which everyone goes there separate ways, he decided to have an outdoor service, followed by a potluck picnic and games. It was different, but it worked. The service was […]

This spring, I got in plenty of baseball shots with my nephew playing t-ball and my younger brother-in-law playing baseball. That’s fine with me though because I love spring and I’m all for sitting outside in the sunshine, enjoying a baseball game.

This spring, my nephew completed his first season of Little League. T-ball is an interesting sport. It’s all about learning the fundamentals of baseball so it’s not competitive, but rather more of a learning experience. All of the children seemed to be having tons of fun as they hit the ball, fielded and ran around […]
