“Laughter is the closest distance between two people.” :: Victor Borge ::
I know starting a blog off with a quote is sort of like starting off a graduation speech with Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” (aka “The Road Less Traveled”) or something, but stay with me here for a minute people. I came...

:: six months, office organization, & sneak peeks ::

Oh my goodness he’s cute! Even if I am biased here people, you have to admit, that is one stinkin’ cute kiddlette! It’s been an amazing 6 month journey so far. It’s really really hard to comprehend how much time has actually passed. It’s August people! How did that happen? So if you recall, I...

:: meet mr. phillip ::

So since this blog is about more than just shoots and also about documenting my life as a person/mom/wife/friend/artist etc., that means I need to remember to keep posting the personal stuff too. In a way, I look at the blog as probably the only semi-consistent form of documentation I’ll have during some of the...

:: lil’ baby cakes : ad shoot ::

Back before Cameron was born (almost four months ago – eek!), I was contacted by an adorable company called Lil Baby Cakes. They make super cute “cakes” out of diapers and decorate them in all sorts of fun ways (they literally must have hundreds of options and combinations). Candy, the owner, asked if I could...

Part 2 :: Basic Arithmetic
Cameron is turning 3 months old tomorrow. Maybe that’s no big thing to you, but holy cow, time has flown by. He’s discovered his hands and that he can grab things now (the motor skills are a little behind his enthusiasm), he is not interested in things like laying down (sitting...

::sleep, glorious sleep::

So he’s decided to start sleeping mostly through the night and I’m running (well, more like ambling in a sort of jogging fashion) with it. I’ve been flying through editing during naptimes, which are starting to get more regular, and after he goes to bed at night. I’m still here, and thank goodness, this is...

::cameron’s first photo shoot::

My poor child. He has no idea what’s coming in his life. But I can’t hardly help myself – he’s sooo adorable! So at just 19 days old (I’m blogging this late, obviously…), I had to do some “documentation” of his cuteness (which, by the way, is way harder for some reason when it’s your...

::cameron lee shepard::

Things I’ve learned so far:
- “schedules” are a joke. My schedule is his schedule. And that changes constantly.
- Yes, having a newborn is incredibly exhausting. This is harder work than I have ever done before.
- Yes, it’s worth every second.
- I used to knock people who believed in “love at first sight”. I don’t...

::out of the office – for GOOD reason!::

It’s safe to say that blogging will be taking a backseat for a while. As a quick update, my husband and I welcomed our perfect little bundle of baby boy joy into our lives on January 22 at exactly 10am! Here are the stats:
Name:: Cameron Lee Shepard
Weight:: 8 lbs. 5 oz.
Length:: 20.5 inches
We’re all...

::my family::

Status update: NO I have not had the baby yet… I’m officially in the “any time” stage of early labor, but not far enough along to actually warrant staying at the hospital (you know, that annoying contractions all the time, but not the killer kind where you can’t walk stage…). Yay.
So in the mean...
