Love The Holidays
I love the holidays, mostly because I love being around my family. Sure we may not always agree, sometimes we might even fight, but it is always a really fun time. This is my step-mom playing with my niece. It just kind of captures the joy family brings us. Plus the food is always tasty. […]

Turkey Day Is Coming
How do I know? Because I start gathering ingredients for my Habanero-Cranberry Relish. Yes this does use a Habanero, but it is not as spicy as you would think. There is a lot of sugar and that really counteracts the heat. I would put the heat level about with Pace medium salsa, your experience may […]

Thoughts and Regrets
Over the weekend we were down in Southern Utah for a funeral of a family friend. She was a wonderful lady and the core of a great family; taken much too young. I have lots of regrets as a person, but as I looked at the program for this friend of mine I regretted not […]

The Last Hoorah
While summer ends socially on Labor Day and by the calendar on September 23 (this year). For me summer is officially at an end when we go to Maple Grove for our end of summer/beginning of fall fling. This year was a little different as it became an reunion of sorts for my family. Unfortunately, […]

Just A Second
So I had the wonderful opportunity to second shoot for my favorite photographer Belinda Olsen. She was shooting formals for Chase and Yeon Mi. It was a really fun time and as always when I shoot for “real” I realize how important practice is. I am always in awe how Belinda can see her shots […]
