Some of my fondest childhood memories had to do with school skip days with my siblings Sabrina, Kenny and Stephanie (my sister from another mother)… ahem, I mean sick days.  We’d spend all day snorting and crying from the insane amounts of laughter.  We’d sneak outside with our hearts beating through our chests from the fear of getting caught by neighborhood adults or even the POPO’s (police).  By the way, I was 8ish, give or take a year. 

I remember one crisp day going out barefoot and slipping on the concrete like we were on an ice rink.  I remember the care free emotions that I had deep in my heart.  I can see the details of that day.  I remember wishing that time would have been frozen along with the frozen icicles hanging from our roof tops.  

These are some of the pivotal moments in my childhood.  

Today while Nate and Lana were home sick, I snuck outside (not barefoot… I’m not that crazy) to enjoy the ice, as I did as a child, on my way to checking the mail, only this time I DID freeze time.

 Sabrina, Kenny, and Stephanie, I love you and all our crazy childhood moments!  These photos are dedicated to you!





Happy New Year Everyone

I’m excited to start the New Year with a really cool new baby of mine that my awesome hubby surprised me with.  Nope, it’s not a dog! Whew!

Meet the book that I’ve been studying for the past week. 

Yay, I got the new 5D Mark II!

We were planning on making this investment towards the end of the year, so for him to suprise me with this on New Years Eve was AWESOME (as Nate would say). 

After 2 weeks of down time I’m back… or am I? 

While we were closed for the holiday’s our family endured common holiday coughs, runny noses, and some fevers; along with all the greatness.  We were all healthy for Christmas and New Years, but now both Nate and Lana are home sick from their first day of school with fevers.   Poor babies! 

 

Also, Lana had eye surgery over the break and seems to be having some side effects from the plastic tubes that were placed in her drainage canals.  So, with all of this… while I’m back, I’m not as back as I’d like to be. 

Please be patient with me, while I take care of my little ones. 

I’ll return emails throughout the day and week. 

As for my clients that are expecting their galleries to be released, you will still be receiving them this week as promised.

I hope you have a great day and a Happy and Healthy New Year!





I just wanted to take a quick break from opening presents and wish you all a very Merry Christmas! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season filled with all that your merry hearts desire.

Eat, laugh, and enjoy the simple unscripted moments!  Hey and don’t forget to preserve the moments by taking quick pictures of your loved ones.

I’m off to enjoy the day with my lovely family.  I hope you will do the same!

Love,
Jenna
