Happy New Year!!! Wow! What an amazing hear I had! Oh sure, it started off with a doozy of a winter and an unplanned 2 month hiatus as I became a full-time nurse to Doug after his accident, but professionally, 2011 was my greatest year ever! So I never got around to building my mobile...
Pregnant. With twins. So much to look forward to. Milestones, memories and the making of family traditions. But first, came the nursery. Their first room. The one they would come HOME to. Decorating Sam & Larissa’s nursery was one of my favorite decorating projects ever. Just the idea that in this room, my babies will...
Nothing like a few setbacks to make a Grand Opening celebration all the sweeter! I had originally intended on a Spring opening…you know…just before the busy season. Yes, that would have been perfect. But God had other plans. As if 400% snowfall at 6,100 ft. weren’t enough…I dropped everything for months (namely my business), when...

Newborns are like movie stars. They travel with tons of luggage, have fearless bodyguards and in Luke’s case, they even have an entourage! Nobody wanted to miss Luke’s first photo session, so into my crowded makeshift studio (my home office at Sky Ranch with great window light) they came carrying little Luke in his car...
Dads. They’re like superheroes in the eyes of young children. Dad makes his kids feel safe and protected. Dad is the man who can fix everything, from broken toys to broken hearts. Dad gives his kids piggy-back rides, teaches them how to ride a bike and throw a ball. A day, an afternoon, an hour...
That hair, those lips, those tiny little fingers…for some reason, this image has a calming effect on me. Sweet baby Drew is just heavenly…
