I Love Coffee, Audiobooks, and good People

I know! A lot of people love coffee. I'm not unique. But I do really appreciate what it does for me every single day. Happiness in a cup!

Audiobooks are new to me in the last year! I used to love to read, but as a mother of 4, I don't really sit down all that much in my "free time." So when I'm washing dishes, folding laundry, weeding, etc. I can also pop in an ear bud and listen to a book. And yes, I'll even listen while I'm editing a session!

I have a great appreciation for all good people, but especially those who care for, and love, those who are differently abled. My oldest has autism and other special needs. He has been my greatest teacher! There are challenges but he is amazing! I love when others see this in him, too! I have met some fantastic humans because of him!

I struggled to get a decent photo of my child...

My sweet Matthew is beautiful but does not easily take a flattering photo. Mostly, it's because it's the last thing he cares to do... He doesn't understand the point or the process. I'm not sure my others fully appreciate it either! But getting him to cooperate for an actual session can be the most challenging, so I decided to improvise to make it as painless as possible, by purchasing a "good camera." This way he wouldn't have to leave our yard! What I didn't expect was to absolutely fall in love with photography. Several years and lots of education and gear upgrades later, I continue to fine tune my craft and thrive on sharing it with others. And it is still challenging to get a good photo of Matthew! Ha.
