Ask Elizabeth: How do you make a GIF that you can post on Instagram? The other day I noticed that a couple of the photos I took of Millie on my phone would make a cute GIF. Then I went down a rabbit hole of apps and google searches to figure out how I could not only make a GIF but also post it on my Instagram feed. It's easy enough to create a GIF - there are all kinds of apps out there - but finding a way to turn it into a video format so that Instagram would let me post it was the worst. ... continue reading...
Capturing your Current Season
Life flies by. Sometimes the days - even weeks- feel long but the years are short. Not only are my babies growing up before my eyes, but I graduated college a decade ago and have been married to Bruce nearly 8 years! Those days flew by too! The other night Bruce and I sat on the couch while we took turns holding Millie on our chests (she loves sleeping that way!) and we went down the rabbit trail of Google Photos. Not only have we got much better at photography over the years, but so have our ... continue reading...
Quarantine Photo Challenge
My friend Ashlee (of Ashlee Kay Photography) came up with a fun photo challenge to do while we were home quarantined for the initial three weeks of quarantine.

Now is a great time to jump into this challenge (just start with day 1) or even when all this is over! It is always a good time to take pictures and challenge yourself to think differently! Day 1 Routine View this post ... continue reading...

So I've been making my yearbooks for 2018 & 2019 *yes, I know it is 2020!) I made them for 2016 & 2017 and then life got crazy. I kept wanting to make them but really never sat down to start. I got real motivated this year upon realizing I was two years behind and none of my yearbooks include either of my girls! I've been going through all my photos month by month to put them together and found so many photos that I never edited let alone shared or printed anywhere. I like carting my ... continue reading...
Our Easter
Easter itself brought us snow and 20 degree temperatures but the day before we were outside all day in the 70 degree weather! You can even see that storm rolling in! HAHA. Millie turned three months old (you can see the official post here) so we had to take those montlhy photos. Like always, it turns into a family affair! I love these photos of our days this weekend. This beautiful view is a short walk from our house which makes me feel so spoiled. This Easter is nothing like normal yet so ... continue reading...
