52 Week Project, 2013
On February 2013, I started a 52 Week Project where I took (and posted) photographs of my daughters, once a week, every week, for the whole year. I don't count the pics we post on Instagram and Facebook as part of this project, only the ones I took with our DSLR. Posting on IG is ...
My One Word for 2014: Passion
I've been making lists my whole life—on paper, in digital notepads and Word documents, even in my head. I find that making lists makes me more organized and productive, which allows me to accomplish more. This year is no exception. Somewhere on the pages of my journal I wrote ...
Oh hello, 2014
And so 2014 came faster than I could say "goodbye 2013". I feel like there's still so much I haven't really processed about the past year, and I need more time for closure. What a year it has been! I'm glad, though, that time doesn't wait for us, and that God's timing does not ...

I cannot even begin to enumerate the differences between Ivy and me. Growing up, our friendship has always been based on our opposite personalities which either clashed comically or complemented perfectly. We were as different from each other as friends could ever be, but I love ...

23/52: This is our social life now
These two are becoming my most favorite friends! And before you throw me a Billy Ray Cyrus speech ("You should be a parent, not a friend"), let me just say, I'm not talking about parenting. I only mean, we're finally connecting with these two and sometimes, it almost feels as if ...

This has always, always been the case. At the end of each photo shoot, we end up with exactly ONE picture-perfect portrait of the twins (like the one above), and hundreds of these: These girls. They drive us crazy. They're 10 months old today, but these ...
