The orange juice is poured, the coffee is brewed, and the French Toast, dripping with gooey syrup, is waiting to be devoured. Little fingers have worked hard at hand crafted cards featuring stick figures set amongst shaky first letters. It’s 7:30 AM on Father’s Day (or probably 6:30 AM if we’re being realistic here.

It was 7:00 am on a rainy July morning. It was just her, me, and the pregnant lady chatting on her cell phone on the other side of a very thin, wrinkly curtain hanging from the ceiling. Over the last 2 hours my life had changed and this new life, full of so many unknowns, was ushered in. […]

Photography Projects. Do you ever have those days where you wonder how the heck you are going to get through the next 60 minutes? Please tell me I’m not the only one. Truth be told, that is me, almost every day at 4 pm. I can actually tell time by the crazy-level in our house. […]

White shirts and blue jeans. Mom, Dad, kiddos. Everyone. All in a line and smiling at the camera. The hair is shellacked and there smiles are a bit too forced. I’ll let that image (it’s probably from the 90s) sink into your brain for a moment. Ok. Now let’s push it far, far away. Why, you […]
