I’ve never met a more calm, laid back mom., especially one who was in labor. She was emailing and texting me all day yesterday while in labor. I honestly didn’t even believe that Gianna would arrive last night, because of how often her mama was in contact with me. My labor with Piper was so…

Jay called me no more than two weeks before he planned to say his wedding vows in front of his children and soon to be wife. He told me that they were having a laid back, intimate ceremony in the woods, and that Brenda, his fiancée, wanted photos that represented that. We talked for a…

I’ve known this family for years. In fact, I knew Chris before their family unit even started forming. They’ve grown and changed over the years and out of some trials that were thrown their way, they’ve moved around and traveled a lot, and Godric has been in 6 child care situations since his birth.
