Christmas Shoes

My married name may as well be spelled S-H-O-E because that’s how it sounds, but it’s H-S-U.  The title should’ve read:  Christmas At The Hsu’s, but Christmas Shoes sounds more snazzy. 
I really enjoyed Christmas this year.  Now that my eldest is 3, she really understands Christmas this year and got into the Christmas [...]

The Myra Challenge

When I visited my good friend Myra over Christmas, she told me that her tree didn’t photograph well… that every photo she has seen of her Christmas tree looked awful.  It was adorned with glimmery shimmery things and every ornament had a special place, perfectly distanced from the next ornament.  Myra also said she didn’t [...]

Brayden and Tyler

We had cancelled our Sunday photoshoot because every weather report said it was going to rain all day.  In fact, it said there would be THUNDERSTORMS!  But then we all woke up that morning and it was dry, so I called Andra, and we met at the park right away before the pesky rain clouds [...]

The Davids

I had the wonderful pleasure of capturing images of David and David… and Summer too!  (Sister Sarah couldn’t make it, but hopefully we’ll take some photos of her early next year.)

3 Photos – Version D
