Would you believe that, after all the Christmas blogging I’ve done, I still have more photos to post? Since this Christmas was the very first time that all 3 of us have been in Fort Lauderdale together since Alana was born, we wanted to have a mini family session at the beach. Fort Lauderdale beach...

Christmas Vacation Part 2:

It’s hard to articulate just how therapeutic it is for me to blog once I’ve spent a week with my family and our time has come to a close. It’s my way of hanging on to the time we shared and keeping the loneliness at bay. Rich, Alana, and I spent the week in Fort Lauderdale for Christmas,...

what life looks like around here…

It’s been a fun but strange couple of weeks. I feel like the second that Alana turned one, she became less of a baby and more of a toddler. She started walking that very week, and hasn’t stopped since. She’s all over the place, and I’ve managed to capture several strolls on video…just haven’t managed to...

On Sunday, Rich, Alana and I visited the Chattanooga Market for a special Christmas event. We wanted to visit our sweet friend Tobi with Ivey Handcrafted, because it had been way too long since we’d seen her!  I’m so annoyed with myself, because I got too distracted taking photos of her wonderful products and totally...

For being such an informative time, today was entirely too much fun. Amber Holritz is hands down one of my favorite people to listen to – both in the photography world and outside of it.  Today she hosted her very first Moms with Cameras Workshop, and it was a wonderful day; combining all of my...

Lashbrook Family Fun!

IMG_1205

While my family was in town this week, Rich decided that it was high time to do a mini session to document us all together. We hadn’t taken any photos all together as a family since Alana was born a year ago, and something had to be done about that!!! Sadly, and obviously, this means...
