Photography

I have always loved photography and taking pictures.  When I was younger I was pretty much obsessed with taking pictures of myself.  Normal teenager right.  I didn't really get into more than just a "hobby" until we had a baby.  I had a reason to take lots of pictures.  Being able to capture all of those special moments of our little one was important to me.  I always tried to be creative and work with what I had.  Then Jake surprised me with a Nikon dSLR camera.  I thought finally I can get good pictures. Boy was I wrong, I thought since I have a good camera I should now be able to take these great pictures now.  Yes the quality of the pictures were good but they weren't what I was expecting.  The first year that I had the camera I shot in the different auto modes.  I tried playing with manual and I had no clue what I was supposed to do with it.  I started reading more and one day I finally grasped the concept of manual.  I was starting to take better pictures.  I got many compliments on them.  About a month ago I got a new lens, and that has made the biggest difference for me.  I have so many more settings that I can play with and get more creative.  I now am loving taking pictures more than I used to.  I could see myself doing this for a living one day.  I have so much more to learn, I am so excited to be able to one day give the gift of capturing those special moments in peoples lives.  Right now I know that I want to do baby and child photography.  Connecting with adults isn't always the easiest thing for me.  Excited to see where this passion takes me!

To blog or not to?

I'm honestly not sure why I stopped so long ago. I wish I didn't because looking back I love the memories that I did write about. Then of course life happens. I can't believe it's been so long since I have written anything.  I used this as sort of a diary and I'm so sad that I didn't keep up with it.  I'm going to be adding bits and pieces here and there from the past as I find them. Lots will probably be from Facebook posts.  I want to be able to look back and see life's blessings. The good and the bad. The bad is what makes you treasure the good that much more. It makes you stronger. It makes me lean on God that much more. My faith just grows and grows. I want to share it all with everyone that wants to read about our lives.

Faith and Fear

In the beginning of our journey I was told by so many that it’s gets easier I’m not going to lie it doesn’t get easier you just find a new normal. It’s an illusion that’s it’s easier. You still have the stress, endless doctors appointments, therapy appointments, medication changes, routines that are being changed, new people coming in and out of your lives friendships that come and go etc.  My anxiety attacks are no longer happening multiple times a day for no rhyme or reason (I can’t tell you the last time I had one actually 🙌🏻 also knocking on some wood right now)  I had made a post the other day about being worried when I dropped Kaiya off at school. I surprisingly have had very little anxiety through this process this year. Last spring completely different story. I have come to the realization that for the most part whatever happens to Kaiya is out of my hands. I can do everything within my power to protect her and she may still one day be taken from me before I w...

Things Kohen says

I’m going to update this as I find them and he says them. 3/26/2018 Conversations with Kohen on the way to school. K-Do you think they will take away our 2nd amendment? M-No, but they might try.  What happens when they do take away that? K-Like what Hitler did, he was controlling and powerful, killed a lot. Kohen actually went into more depth than what I put on here and I was pretty surprised which I shouldn’t be. 2/23/2018 On the way home from school Kohen looks at Kaiya and says “ugh...mean mom, why didn’t she take your braces off? Don’t worry I’ll take them off” “There you go, now give me your other foot so I can get that one too.” “Is that better?” “I bet your more comfortable now aren’t you?” “Mom, Kaiya smiled so she must have liked that I took them off right?” My heart just grows and grows for this boys heart. I didn’t think anything about Kaiya having her afo’s on but Kohen was very concerned that she was uncomfortable. 6/20/2015 Kohen trying to convince his ...
