I poured my heart & soul into this one… the girl & the video. ha. I spent a few months gathering photos, scanning photos, crying over photos, placing photos, finding the exact music with the right words & beat, making & re making this video. it is like a time capsule for me. not only of Mikayla’s life but of our family’s life. the…
end of February, 2017. when I first looked at these photos, all I could think of was memories in motion. so that is what I will call this series. this day, I asked her to put on a pretty dress & go jump on the bed for me so that I could take some fun photos. she looked at me straight faced & said…
so, the past week has been hard. very hard. I’m not ready to write it down yet, hopefully soon. I am reflecting on the past. thinking of my children & all of the years I have spent giving every piece of myself to them. parenting is hard. we all make mistakes. we learn. we keep going. I can only hope that none of them ever…

I am only missing a few videos from early practices that I lost when my phone died on me. oh well, not going to stress about the few videos I lost because…
Mikayla finishing up her college scholarship applications!! so proud of her for getting these all done & submitted on time. changes are around the corner for her & our entire little family unit. I am so excited for her but of course feeling nostalgic & a little selfishly sad, that these days have to end… and a little ipad before bed for this one…
beginnings…. so, this year I have committed to trying to take a photo a day. a 365 day project. ok, so technically I decided on January 4th. to do this project so I guess it is a 361 day project but close enough. ha. but seriously, I am looking forward to making this project happen, even on the days where I am uninspired…
