coffee with erin + avery!

i enjoy the simple things. i had a coffee date with erin dunagan and her cutie pie genius of a [almost] one year old little girl, avery yesterday. it was a great time talking shop and sharing stories in Ma's Cafe in wood river followed by a personal tour of erin's home studio. thanks, erin! we must do it again soon. : )

joe + klare [expecting]

joe and klare have been apart for most of their marriage so far...joe was in iraq for a whole year! but now he's back and they've been gettin busy [in all sense of the word 'busy'] they've purchased their first home, and now they are expecting someone to fill their extra bedroom. congrats guys!



keeley [3 weeks new]

sweet baby keeley. when we were ready, she slept so good for us.

not your typical calendar!

i love non-traditional, unexpected things with quirk. very simple...all i did was have my lab print my images in 5x7 and had them mounted on 1/16" matboard. add an easel and viola.

makes these long winter months more cheery!



breckin at six months

always a pleasure to spend time with the C family... and what's better than sledding and cocoa on a day like this? it was craziness... all the outside ones were shot in about ten minutes and poor breckin began to cry [guess he doesn't like snow as much as J does...]... but totally worth the cold feet. hopefully they warm your heart on the coldest of days.
