A Visual Resolution...

I'm a visual person. I'm the one always sending text pictures instead of messages. So this year instead of making a list that I'll pile bunch of junk on top of...I took photographs of my goals. I think it will be harder to hide from these. {Especially when I print them}

Twenty Twelve, here's what I've got for you...

Eat Healthy ~ Making good choices about what I eat and try to be consistent with my fitness pal {my new year obsession on the ipad}


Shape up ~ Being Healthy or unhealthy is a choice. I'd like to live forever {with amazing triceps.}


Slow Down ~ My life is moving at warp speed. I refuse to buy one more movie until I watch all these purchased unwatched movies.


Make time for me. Whether it's mastering my new graphic pad {that thing kind of scares me} or getting to route of my OPI obsession {maybe its all those darn cool names or the new Muppet glitter line}. These are some of the mysteries I'm willing to dig into this year and solve.


Embrace an Art Challenge. I went to Photo-Nola last year & I've got this really great portfolio project trapped in my head...I've just got to find my follow-through. It's hiding again.


And on top of all of these great things...I've still got to maintain my title of Super Mom & Amazing Wife. It's going to be a great year. I'm taking it to the next level. Hope you've got your ducks in a row too.

A Great Woman was Born Today.

Today is my Mom's Birthday.


Sondra is more than a Mom. She is my live-in babysitter. She is my Laundry Czar. She is the homework Nazi. She invented 20 Questions with consistent effort. She can bring back to life any plant I accidentally try to kill. She's the best cook I know. She has the biggest heart. And she bought me my first camera. She sent me a letter with $5.00 in it every week while I was away at college - which turned out to be my Friday night cover-charge more often than not (Shhhh!). She still remembers more than she forgets and even though I have to repeat myself more than I like...I wouldn't trade one single day.



I love you Mom.



So what did Mom get for her 64th Birthday? Well, I did bake that fantastic German Chocolate cake. And since she's read 2 books since Christmas, we got her 3 more to work on...Happy Birthday Mom! You are the greatest Mom. Ever.

The Best of 2011, Project 52

What is Project 52? It's a personal challenge to photograph & edit something every week. It means no dust gets to settle on your camera. It's a weekly project that survives illness, vacations and power outages. When I took the challenge, it came at just the right time. I was in a slump. I was photographing the same thing all the time. This project helped me to find the beauty all around me and inspired me to photograph more different things in one year than I ever could have imagined. It also honed in on my favorite thing to photograph, my family. I love watching them grow. And they love seeing these photos framed in our home and in my studio. I love holding freshly framed prints.
Here are a few of my favorites from this year's adventure...

























I'm looking forward to my next adventure - We're hosting our own Project 52 - We hit 41 Members this morning. Our Project will focus on the Educuation, Motivation and Inspiration of Photography at any level. It's nice when you can find a great group to learn from each other. Your work is a motivation to others and our group will celebrate that. Click here to sign up today - Our week one theme is "Resolution"

Happy New Year's Eve! Hope get to spend it with the one's you love. A new year is a year of promise and adventure. Celebrate it!

Birthdays are the BEST.

The day after Christmas, my baby girl turned four years old. It's always exciting to celebrate a birthday, but it's so much more fun when they get so excited about it too. Every Balloon was so amazing. Every gift, was the best gift ever. I even baked the cake myself...however I'm nowhere near ready for a cake wars competition. Enjoy a few shots from our super fun birthday bash.



That last candle was a doozie.





If you like these shoes, you should see the matching purse.

Meet Patches & O'malley.



It was a near perfect day from start to finish. Madison is certainly the spark of life we need to keep us charged up all the year through. She brings so much joy, entertainment and endless questions to our days.
I hate it when they grow up.

The Two Days of Christmas

The last two days of Christmas are always packed full of excitement. The house is decorated inside and out and everything smells of pumpkin spice and sugar cookies...it's my favorite time of the year. Jeffery was a great addition to our family this year.

We took the kids to visit Santa...always a good idea, just before the BIG day. No new wish list surprises this year. I remember one year, Jackson asked for a train set with Santa - all I could think of was, where is that going to live?
The Bass pro shop has the BEST Santa ever. He asks about school and talks about the importance of listening to your parents & getting along with your siblings - he even talks about how important it is to read every day. I take the kids to see him every year & I can take my fancy camera and snap all the photos I want. These guys ROCK.
Madison asked for a Leap Pad.

Grant asked for a Nintendo 3DS & Pokeman Rumble Blast.

Jackson has decided he's too big to sit in Santa's lap, but not too old to ask for a Nintendo DS too and anything Lego Ninjago.

What a great bunch...

Then we wrote letters...








After Santa's cookies are put out and the reindeer have been fed, and the kids are off to have dreams of sugar plums...Mike and I wrap our final gifts. This year, with the remodel - I should say, we searched the hidden places of the house for our final gifts to wrap. Some took longer to find than others, but we pulled off another fantastic Christmas.






I got Michael an ipad - and yes, I got the most cheesy engraving ever. I'm in gooey love.

And then, I opened an ipad - no clue... a nice sneaky job.

I didn't even know Lego made robots - Mike is so crafty with his gift finding.





Yes, it will toast the Alabama "A" on your toast. This gift was a real hit.



Holiday entertainment.

Madison named this Christmas cat Gwendolyn. I don't know where she comes up with these great animal names.

Mike really surprised me with a cruise to Bahamas. Wow. And he arranged my baby-sitter too. Best husband EVER.



I have a really nice collection of gifts this year that I can't wait to play with. I'm really excited to dig into this graphic design pad. I got some great movies and awesome music and software. It's nice when you get exactly what you want and things you didn't even think of.

And my Mom bought this fun rug for my studio...it's just perfect.


Hope your Christmas was as exciting and eventful as ours. A great day with family. A day to test the limits of my new robot stove, Rosie. A day that could easily be the best day ever. Merry Christmas friends.
