My niece, Josie, is 5! JoJo Bear, as we affectionately call her, is just a bundle of giggles and sunshine,  and has the biggest heart. She is also super smart, and I can’t believe I’ve had the privilege of watching her grow for five years! She has the best sense of humor, so I thought […]

Chris and Noel are more family than they are friends. Their kids have grown up calling me Aunt Holly, and now Tater Tot and Small Fry call them Aunt Chrissy and Uncle Noelie. My sister’s claim to fame is that she knew Chris and Noel before they were “Chris and Noel”. They met at Central […]

I met Alaina and Matthew a few years ago when I attended the On Purpose Workshop hosted by Courtney Smith Photography and Jessica Lauren Photography. Alaina and Matthew were one of Jessica’s wedding couples, and had just gotten married about 3 months before the workshop. The two graciously agreed to be our models for the workshop! During […]

Friday afternoon, I  flew from sunny San Diego into a winter snow storm with about 12 inches of snow! A normal person would probably be bummed by that, but not me! I love the snow. Because of the impending storm, I actually got to leave training early, and pick up Tater Tot and Small Fry […]
