Six years, five months, and 29 days ago I started my first full time job as an Administrative Assistance for an engineering firm I'd worked for on and off again through high school and college. I hadn't landed the perfect marketing job just yet, this job was a temporary place to land until I found something better. Two...

I finally have the 'glow' or that's what someone told me today, anyways.   I'll admit, this whole mother thing has a hold on me. I feel myself becoming one of those people who worries about things, who prays for a better world, and who is afraid of online dating apps (I just realized that the app "Tender"...

Arriving home each evening it getting a little bit darker in the house with every passing day. I turn on the lights so I can see my way to the kitchen and I feel a rush of happiness. We've lived in our house for over two years already, but it's taken a bit of time to collect the...

On a Wednesday in late July I had a terrible headache, I'd spent the day in Baton Rouge and arrived home exhausted with a pounding head. Nonetheless, something told me I shouldn't throw back a pain killer before checking... So, there the test was, I watched as the result appeared in the little window and it looked negative......

Shaun and Zach, parents of the little hunk featured on the blog today, have always had an eye for style. You can tell they have individual taste by the unique name of their first born son, Palmer James.  I'm always intrigued with their choice, always thought out, put together, and impressive.  So you can imagine, I was absolutely...

He met the world on a rainy Friday afternoon at 3:05 on the twenty-seventh of June. He weighed eight pounds, eleven ounces and measured twenty-one inched long.

I'm pretty sure that yesterday was Monday, so you can imagine my surprise when it's already Friday. This week flew right by. Unfortunately blogging was not high enough on the priority list to get more than two post this week (moral fail).  I continue to tell myself that I don't need to write entire stories in my posts,...

I remember the ting of embarrassment I use to feel having to admit I was from such a huge immediate family, "I'm the third of seven children." Today, it is what I am most grateful for. Family is a blessing, the creation of an institution that can only be brought to life by a man and wife (a...

Church, grocery shopping, and a lunch date with David does count as productivity, even those I feel like I've done nothing today. My list of things to do today is long ... photo editing, website proposals, exercise (run & yoga), cleaning and cooking.  But, as a promise to myself, I've decided to add writing a blog post to...

There are places hidden down winding backroad of Louisiana that will give any true Louisianaian pride down into their soul when they stumble upon them.  These treasures are one of the main reasons why I love being a Louisiana Photographer so much.

This morning is feeling really random. 1. I left both of my laptops in a friend's car...I'm so lost without them. So, I'm on my iPad. The iPad that I never use, like, ever. Okay, that's a lie. I use it when we're traveling as a kindle and I use it when I'm being adventurous in the kitchen...

It's July 2nd - does it feel like July? Summer has never really felt the same after college. It might have something to do with the over-air conditioned work climate that I spend the majority of my summer days, instead of long days of laying out, spontaneous trips to the beach, and daily snowballs. I never really appreciated...

writing in my moleskin journal on the daily.  I have a new companion, my moleskin, that holds all of my daily to do lists and random spikes of inspiration.  It has become so much apart of my routine that I know where it is more times than I know where my keys are. hahaha #truth  listening to my "Lucky Summer...
