Alternate (and better for search engines) Title: Our Family Maternity Photos ;) I sit here writing this post at my kitchen table. The windows are open and the smells and sounds of a thunderstorm surround me. We've been getting afternoon thunderstorms all week and I've been so grateful for them. They remind me of my childhood when they rolled in every afternoon on the dot. I'm a week away from baby and the girls are with grandma and while I have a lot of things I could be doing, I'm just ... continue reading...
Mini Golf with Family in Town
Just stop it. How are my kids so big?! This pregnancy has slowed me down big time. I quit social media and have posted like a dozen times this whole year - which (btw) is not a lot! I've had several friends and readers reach out to see if I am done here forever too and the answer is a big NO! I've been here since 2010 and I'll be here forever! ;) The frequency (and quality) of posts will ebb and flow over the years but I do cherish having a home base for sharing my writing and photography and ... continue reading...
A full roll of Ilford HP5+ 400 at The Zoo
I was going to include these photos in a post called "The Zoo on Film" but we already had photos from three rolls (all color) and these ones felt like they needed their own post. Plus there wasn't a throwaway photo from this roll (which is a first for us) and I felt like we should just make it a post of it's own and show off all the fun black & white photos from this day at the zoo! April 2022 The Details Ilford HP5+ 400 || Nikon F5 || 28 mm f1.8 Film is a funny world. So ... continue reading...
Independence Day
We have gone to Kansas for the 4th of July the last couple years. And I'll tell you, those are some of my favorite Independence Days to date (2020 & 2021)! The fireworks is really what makes it so magical (and the photos so idyllic) because we can't do those here in Colorado! But also just spending the day and the couple days surrounding it with our best friends resulted in lots of memories and good times in hot & sticky Kansas! These pictures are NOT in Kansas. We broke our ... continue reading...
Winnie the Pooh Boy Baby Shower
I wanted to do a little something to celebrate our baby boy so I roped in my besties to help me throw a baby shower for him! I mostly just wanted an excuse to invite all our family and close friends over so we made it a family gathering! It was fun to have all the kids and dads tag along on this baby shower! We at one point had 60 people in our house because our indoor/ outdoor party got a bit rained out ;) Which was totally fine because it was all about the people anyways. Like I always ... continue reading...
