Hey there!
My desire is to transcend generations with the photographs, words, art, and good that I leave behind as part of my own legacy.
I want the words I say to be intentional and life giving. I want them to bring encouragement, justice, deep conversations, thoughts from what I’ve read recently, and whatever is currently on my mind - just what you’d get if you sat down with me over a cup of espresso.
Want to get to know a little bit more about me before diving into my writings?
Oh year four. I’m really curious what we will look back to this year and think about. Will it be the way we kicked off our anniversary last year taking in the sights and foods of NYC? Will it be the monotony of living day in and day out in our home during a literal pandemic? Will the memories of this year forever be scarred by a mess of tangled emotions? Most likely.
Read MoreI won’t be out and about watching stores change out their seasonal aisles. I won’t be frequenting a pumpkin patch, getting lost in a corn maze, or hanging out on a hayride as we venture out to a bonfire. It’s going to be a quieter fall, a silent transition even…
Read MoreI’ve gotten pretty bored with our HEB orders lately. I thought the arrival of hatch chile season would make up for some of that monotony that we’ve found ourselves stuck in. Sadly, it didn’t get me as excited as I had anticipated it would…
Read MoreIt’s September and I’m just now getting around to writing about my word of the year. It’s very late in the year to reveal this word to the world. It’s funny, because I was actually very certain by late November of last year that this is the word that I would hang my hat on for 2020. I had no idea how literally I would hang my hat on it as...
Read MoreI know there are a LOT of feelings about COVID and life right now. Please understand that I am immunocompromised and am having to make some really tough decisions to keep myself safe in this season which includes not being able to do photography sessions right now.
Read MoreThis is it. My dad donned with his trusty grey pocket tee and a fishing cap, his classic look. Whenever I look at this photograph, I get instantly transported back to the moment it was taken. I was in photography for the yearbook in high school - the first place I held a camera that wasn’t disposable, the first place where I got a new glimpse of how to save moments as memories forever…
Read MoreIt's been quite a week, hasn't it? My prayer is that as you're reading this, you and your people are healthy and safely tucked away in your house with an adequate supply of food and toilet paper to hunker down for a bit.
Read MoreThis is 31. Last year my word of the year was brave. It was a word that came fiercer than I expected in many areas of my life. When I chose that word, I had no idea what was in store for year 30, but more on that later as I finally reveal my word of the year next week. (It's only February... there's still plenty of days left in 2020.) Here's a quick look at what year 30 brought me:
Read MoreThis has been some year. It was the best of times... It was not the worst of times. There were some hard times throughout the year though. There's been encouragement and hard conversations along the way. There's been moments when we grew up and tried on adult choices like trading pizza for salad and moments where we chose to play, where we chose rest...
