Before I took my little break, there were some sessions that didn’t get shared, which means I get to share them now, on the fancy new blog. It was only two days from the time Julie first contacted me until the day we did their […]

what’s new, pussycat?
Ok…so there have been some big changes around here. The name is the obvious one, but there has been more. So much more! I have been working my butt off on that so much more for over a month. First, there is a shiny new […]
well, hello again.
I am back, just like that itchy rash you can’t seem to get rid of. Back from a small hiatus that was the product of many things life decided to throw at me. I almost did not come back. I had a long list of […]
I am Sure My Camera Bag is Big Enough…
This is Adeline. I tried to keep her after this session. And I am not in the market for any more kids, believe me. But if you would have met her…you would have probably tried to keep her too. She does a mean Hokey Pokey […]
What if it Rains When You Cash in Your Rain Check?
This session got rescheduled due to weather….which…in Southern California is far from the norm. Then, to make things worse, it rained on the day we rescheduled for too. Bah. But…since we were working within a limited time frame, because of an impending deployment, we made […]
A Sedative? Why on Earth Would I Need A Sedative?
I have a stack of sessions to share again. I think that being able to instantly share sneak peeks on facebook is making me lazy. I am all about the instant gratification. I have the attention span of a fruit fly. I start to work […]
I’m Not Crazy. My Mother Had Me Tested.
So, Julie contacted me, and talked about scheduling a session that involved the word “horses”…..which immediately caught my interest. I mean, how cool is that, right? So, for weeks, I was all excited about this session…but then..ultimately, I went through what I go through before […]
Brotherly Love
This weekend I got to do a newborn session with the youngest baby yet. Emma was only six days old. She was tiny and perfect…and also? Wide awake. Which can complicate things a bit. 🙂 Emma has an older brother, Kevin. Kevin is adorable and […]
How To Suck At Facebook
Did you ever have one of those days where you are crabby, for no apparent reason? Just everything is annoying or rubs you the wrong way? No? Just me then? Well, today is one of those days for me. You know the worst place to […]
If She Couldn’t Convince Me…..
So many times, when women are around newborns, they talk about how it makes them want another baby. There is just something about their tiny, little fingers and toes that causes some sort of biological reaction. Yeah…um….I am not one of those women. 🙂 I […]
Sometimes a Frozen Butt is a Small Price to Pay
If there is one thing I have learned with these Op:Love homecoming sessions, it is that, when working with the military, scheduled arrival times mean nothing. This homecoming was a rough one. It went long past the time they were expected to arrive. It was […]
So, Um..Yeah, Hi.
Ok, so…we are just going to gloss over the fact that I have neglected to post for two months and just move on like nothing ever happened, ok? That way, you don’t have to hear my weak excuses and empty promises about how I am […]
