Music is so cathartic. Any song, at any given time, can take me to a place where I remember someone - or something ... it can take me back to a simpler time ... or help me look forward to the days in front of me. I'm thankful I can hear BEAUTIFUL music ... it's probably something I take for granted most days. When I was a little girl, I had to get tubes put into both my ears. Well, back in the

While my doggies, Mattie and Winston drive me a bit bonkers some days, I'm thankful for them. I adore their little nuances and how they get excited when they go for walks. And honestly, there's nothing like cuddling with them - grateful they are part of our 'family'. ;) They will always be our 'first kids'. :) Mattie girl. She's our crazy, overly excited, slightly overweight caryn terrier.&

I've known Kelly for over half my life. She has been one of my dearest friends - and I'm blessed that I've been able to document so many 'moments' over the years for her. Had some fun with her, her hubby and two sweetie pie babies a few weeks ago. It was a beautiful November day - filled with PERFECT smiles - and new memories.

I wish there was a dial that you could turn on and off for the brain. I mean wouldn't it be nice if you could 'flip a switch' when you actually WANTED to think and then 'flip a switch' for when you just wanted peace from the chaos? I don't know ... just a thought of nonsense perhaps. Nonetheless, it's funny how we are who we are. While that's simple, yes, I still find it amazing how different

My cousin Tyler was the ring bearer in my husband and I's wedding over 12 years ago. You can see him below, in the first picture - the little stud, in front of all the bigger studs. Well, today, that little boy is a senior in high school. And a handsome one at that! Crazy how time flies. Had such a blast taking his senior pictures a few weeks ago - despite the crazy cold! Congrats Tyler! :) ♥ I

The holidays are my FAVORITE time of year. It's when I get to spend time with my family - some of whom I don't get to see as often as I'd like! Of course, on both sides of the family, we ALL couldn't be together - but it's times like this, that I remain incredibly grateful for TWO families. I adore my family. This is just a few of them! My dad, little sister Erin, my twin sis and her sweet boy

Adore this beautiful family. April and Nate are some of my husband and I's dearest friends - and their sweet girls, Macie and Emma are absolute darlings. Had a blast with them a few weeks ago at St. Patrick's Park. The weather was beautiful and their smiles were infectious! Always thankful to share in special, fun moments with families!

When I was younger, all I ever wanted to be was OLDER. Yes, it's true. In our youth, we wish for 'more years' and in our older years, we wish for our youth again. Looking back on my youth, and I've probably said this many times before, but we had so much fun. My sisters and I fought like the dickens - but when it really came down to it - we flippin' adored each other. Today, we're BEST friends.

Wish I had more time to write. I've said this before, and I suppose I should say it again - but writing is my first passion. It always has been. When I was in high school, I would write in journals - for HOURS. Then in college, I began writing a book that I never finished. However, it is on my 'bucket list' to finish it. And while I might be 50 before then - I'll do it! :) Nevertheless, it's

I cannot even tell you all the amazing moments I've been able to have this past year. And more specifically, these past few days. WOW. I feel so flippin' blessed - and I'm so grateful - yet undeserving. Sincerely! On the 14th, my dear, sweet friend Amber and I went to see Les Miserables, the musical. The story depicts the trials of a man on his last 'chance', Jean Valjean - unjustly imprisoned,

This year was an amazing year to 'mark' things off my 'Bucket List'. I got to travel to some of the most BEAUTIFUL places I've ever seen - places that I've ALWAYS wanted to see, up close and personal. In April, my husband and I, along with our two best friends, traveled to Europe for our very dear friend's wedding. Along the way, we visited some spectacular places, including Paris, London and

Day 10: Coffee. YEP. It's pure JOY. Day 11: Veterans. I will always and forever be grateful to the men and women who have fought hard and sacrificed much, to defend and protect this great nation. We must never ever take them for granted. And we must honor them DAILY ... those that made it home - and those that paid the ultimate sacrifice. Day 12: Photography. It's such an honor and

I simply ADORE this family. I've known Sarah and Brandon for MANY years - as we all used to work together back in my high school days! AHHH, crazy how time flies. And OH SO THANKFUL how technology can still connect us. Their family is incredibly adorable - beautiful - and oh so sweet. Despite the frigid temps we dealt with the day of their session, they still managed to look so precious - and

Some might know this - others probably not - but I actually have a full time job outside of photography. I've worked for Gray Digital Media since 2004. Hard to believe it's been that long - but honestly, I'm incredibly LUCKY to work for such an amazing company and with amazing people. My boss is the kind of boss ANYONE would want to have. She is flexible. She is caring. She is all about us being

When I married my husband almost 13 years ago, I can't tell you how amazingly blessed I was to also become a part of his AMAZING family. Not only did I gain three sisters, but I also gained two brothers - and later another when my sis-in-law Lisa married her husband Michael! And what's more - I gained some amazingly beautiful nieces and nephews! And more keep coming! :) Thankful how they love

I love my dad. He's definitely the type of person that if you have a problem or you're in a predicament, you can go to him and he'll be a listening ear or offer sound advice. Over the years, I've been really blessed to grow closer to my dad - in a way that makes me grateful in so many ways. We have some pretty great talks and honestly, he's one of the wisest people I know. He has taught his

I had a really special honor on Saturday, to photograph an event that brings to the surface a really tough subject: suicide. This was the second time an event like this took place in the South Bend area, and I was really humbled to be able to be a part of it once again. Did you know … There are over 30,000 suicides in the United States each year. It's the fourth leading cause of death for

If you think about the idea that we have the ability to vote who will lead our great nation, it's a pretty marvelous idea. Many countries around the globe, do not have this privilege. Let alone have this privilege and are actually safe when casting their vote. Today is monumental. As every election is. And today, I'm incredibly grateful that men and women have gone before me, fought great

Next to being a mom, the next greatest honor and privilege, is to be an aunt. I have the cutest, most wonderful nieces and nephews a girl could ask for. And I'm so thankful for every single one of them - the joy they bring - and the love they give - even the ones that aren't exactly related by blood! ;) LOVE THEM ALL SO VERY MUCH!

So I know some of these photographs aren't the greatest - but I love them! Because they're little moments that were shared among friends. I'm so thankful for the women and men in my life that I get to call FRIENDS. TRUE friends. Some of them I live near - others a bit farther away - but despite the distance, and sometimes the time that passes before we all see each other again, I'm so grateful

My mom is a pretty amazing woman. She gave so much and still does to each of her girls and her three grand babies. Despite the ups and downs of this crazy life - she somehow manages to make MOMENTS happen - and tries to remain positive and optimistic. I'm very thankful for the times we've shared over the years and for the many wonderful memories we've made along the way. I'm grateful for her

This first photo is one of my favorite photos of my sisters and I as kids. Things were so much simpler back then. I look at this photo and I'm reminded of the joy and craziness of our youth. We had a lot of fun growing up. We fought a lot too. :) Life wasn't always peaches and cream, but we made the most of it. And tried to LOVE every moment! We had many memorable ones - and I'm so grateful we

I'm thankful - in so many ways. BLESSED beyond what I deserve. AMAZED at what I've been able to witness and experience in this life. I count my blessings DAILY. And am reminded that while I hate that I'm a sinner, I have a God that still loves me anyway. OVERWHELMED with thankfulness in that realm. It's crazy to think that Thanksgiving Day is right around the corner - and Christmas will soon
