1) Better Oats’ RAW Pure & Simple Oatmeal: Here’s the thing—I love oatmeal. But I hate making it. My husband can attest that when milk and the boiling of it are involved, I inevitably scorch the heck out of the pan. Soooo, I took a liking some time ago to Kashi Instant Oatmeal. But THEN,...

Odds & Ends
I’m doing that….thing again. The one where I have a stack of odds and ends in my inboxes that trails from movie trailers to interesting news stories to just, well, cool artsy stuff that friends and co-workers have shared with me and I’m all, “Oooh, I need to remember to share this with so-and-so.” And...
Emily: Portraits
I don’t remember when I first heard from Emily. But when that email landed in my inbox, it was filled with sweet comments and a “I’d really love to meet you sometime!” Emily is an Indy-area photographer herself (who also just landed a job teaching kindergarten—right, Emily?!) She’s so sweet and will be helping...
Ten on Tuesday: August ‘11 Edition
1. What color are your toenails painted?
OPI’s “A Oui Bit of Red”
2. What color are your fingernails painted?
There’s no polish on these 10 digits; in fact, MAYBE once a year can I say my nails are painted. I don’t have the patience to do it (though I love the results), and I hate how, a...
August Self-Portrait: My couch tour of California
Maybe it’s because God knows California has a special place in my heart. That, if I hadn’t put my roots down here in the Midwest (with a loving family, husband, friends and great jobs), that I’d be a West Coast girl in a white-hot minute. But since I’m not (and chances are, never will be),...
Shandry and John: Their Wedding Story
In addition to her emerald-cut diamond engagement ring, Shandry wore this beautiful antique ring of her great-grandmother’s (her something old!) and a sweet pair of flats. John was so adorably nervous as he waited for Shandry to come upstairs for their first look. As I told the pair of them, better to get the nerves...
California Session Sneak Peek: Inna’s Family
A few months before I left for a trip to visit a handful of dear, dear girlfriends in California, I had an inquiry on my Facebook business page from a sweet gal living in Los Angeles by the name of Inna. She happened to be the mother of four kiddos and noted in a comment,...
#97…check and mark!
#97) Go waterskiing
Earlier this summer, when Nick and I were up in Michigan for the U2 concert, we spent a day on the lake with our friend, Layne, who just so happens to have an incredible speed boat. A speed boat equipped with everything necessary to water ski.
I should share with you all that...
Jenny and Todd: Destination Wedding
Last month, I spent a good chunk of my Fourth of July weekend doing what I love to do on weekends—photographing a wedding! But this one was all sorts of special as I accompanied Louisville photographer and close friend Courtney Reece to a very special destination wedding on Sanibel Island in Florida. It’s always such...
