Annie
I got an ask from a friend to do her daughter’s senior pictures. I don’t always go looking for those assignments as much, but end up loving it every time. After a summer of a lot of other things going on, it was great to get back into a creative rhythm and Annie was an […]
Day #7 – Why I Clicked…
Day #7/365: Taking down the Christmas decorations at the farm can be especially bittersweet, mostly because there’s that question in the back your mind… Are we doing this again next year?
Christmas Greetings from the Farm
It’s Christmas Eve at the farm on Willow Road. Those of you who have followed these posts over the years know what a marvelous pause the farm is in the life of our family. Time seems to get so compressed in the weeks before Christmas and all of the preparations and engagements that compel us […]
Day #225 – Why I Clicked…
Editor’s note: Many of you have enjoyed my Pic of the Day for quite a few years now. I’m starting something new to select certain images and give a little more backstory on why I chose to share it. Let’s see how this goes! I hope you enjoy it… Day #225/365: The corn crop, leaves […]
Christmas Greetings from the Farm
It’s Christmas Eve at the farm on Willow Road, and the tired December sun has given up its fight to burn through the cloud cover. The dreariness of the day makes the sky almost indistinguishable from the snow covered fields were it not for the trees along the fence line. From a distance, everything has […]
Every Day is WDsD
My Facebook feed has been blowing up over the past 24 hours with all kinds of videos, images and well wishes from our community. It started last night with a video from a family that has been walking alongside us – then a text message from the principal of Julia’s school telling all of the […]
Christmas Greetings from the Farm
It’s Christmas Eve at the farm on Willow Road; and like a large part of the Midwest, we’re experiencing an unexpected heat wave. With the last several days of unseasonable warmth, I’m pretty sure the newly planted wheat crop doesn’t know what to do. After a blustery night of rain, the clouds broke and the […]
Changing the Face – Changing Our Attitudes
Jocelyn bought Julia a new t-shirt early last month, and we are hoping to be a part of a movement that is happening. As you may know by now, our daughter has Down syndrome; and this little girl has really opened our eyes, not only to the number of differently-abled people there are in this […]
Tallulah
I happened to see some friends at the park yesterday and their daughter, Tallulah. For obvious reasons (if you look at the images), I was absolutely transfixed by her eyes. Her parents were kind enough to let me pull out my camera for an impromptu photo shoot. What followed was one of the most satisfying […]
Jodi & Alex
My friends Jodi and Alex are expecting an addition to their family in the next couple of months. In the crush of all the preparations, Jodi realized that the “bump” pics hadn’t been done. I got a message over Facebook asking for help. Within a week, we were turning their living room into a studio […]
