Lily Challenge – Final Entry

  It is with much regret – as well as many well-intended pleas – that the Lily Challenge has come to an end. The first couple of days after it was over, it was a weird feeling not to "have" to take a picture of Lily. But don’t worry, I won’t ever stop. Promise. I…

Lily Challenge – Week IV

I can’t tell you how many emails, Facebook messages, and direct requests I’ve had to keep the Lily Challenge going after the end of March. As much as I’d love to and as much as I appreciate the many kind words you have all sent my way, the Lily Challenge will end in two days….

Lauren & Adam’s Engagement Session

It used to be that a caveman would grunt at a cavewoman. If she grunted back, they were married. Then came real civilization, which carried with it arranged marriages, based most frequently on social ties with other families. Then came Woodstock when everyone danced naked in the mud and smoked their clothing. Wait, I mean,…

Lily Challenge – Week III

I’ve made it through another week of the Lily challenge! I guess since I’ve done it for 21 days straight, it is officially a habit. At least that’s what I remember being taught a long time ago. The best part of this week was celebrating Lily’s first birthday. Dorothy and I really can’t believe she’s…

Kelly and Ray’s Engagement Session

They met in high school. They didn’t date though until they reconnected years later at a social event. She’s a high school guidance counselor. He’s a police officer.  It’s pretty obvious spending just a few minutes with Kelly and Ray that they’re madly in love with each other. He can’t take his eyes off her….

Lily’s First Birthday

A year ago today, our lives changed forever. At 6:45 a.m. on Thursday, March 19, Dorothy gave birth to our daughter Lily Grace Turner. Our lives haven’t been the same since. We’ve had so much more joy, so much more love, and so much more laughter each and every day. Lily has a smile that…

Lily Challenge – Week II

Week 2 has already come and gone! I can’t believe it!  Even more, I can’t believe I still haven’t missed a day.  Don’t worry though – there’s still 17 more days for me to miss… Here’s a look back at week 2 in the challenge. Day 8 – Look!! This photo was taken at Dorothy’s…

Lily Challenge – Week 1

   One week down in the Lily Challenge!  In case you missed my previous blog, the short and sweet version is that I’m taking pictures of Lily every day this month and posting one per day on my Facebook page and then adding them to my blog once a week.  Working on discipline.  Who knows…after…

Rachel and Brian’s Wedding

I don’t know what it is about snow, but it seems to have magical powers. Nothing else in nature seems to be able to bring the world around me to a halt like snow does. Have you ever just stood outside in the woods in the middle of softly falling snow? It even has the…

Michele & Sean’s Wedding

The story of Michele and Sean’s wedding (at least from my perspective) actually starts the Wednesday before. George and Alana were both at the house, as usual, and we were doing some post-production work. George said he wasn’t feeling well and left around lunch time. He called a little later and said his doctor told…
