Violet. Age 4.

Little Violet, you are 4 years old and growing up too fast. The other day I asked you "Why do you talk so much?" and you said "Because I love you and Jesus made me that way."

My friend called the other day and you answered the phone. The voice on the line said "Hello, is your mommy there?" And you screamed...."BBBBEEEEEECCCKKKKKKKKYYYYY!!" Yes, you call me Becky. You never call me mom.

Once you asked me "Would you like me to call you Becky or Rebekah?" I said "I would like you to call me Mom." But you still call me Becky.

When I put your hair in a bun you call it a "bop-she-bop."

When I change the baby's diaper you always say "LET ME SEE THE POOP!"

You like to dress up the dog in your clothes.

You want a "REAL RED FISH for Christmas. Not a fake one. A real one."

Auntie Tara is your favorite and when you get mad at me you say "You are not my favorite mom anymore. Tara is my favorite mom."

You love the color pink. And you don't like to color purple. Sorry I named you 'Violet'.

You are my little beauty. My girl. And I love you.

Annie + Jon. Wedding

Four score and seven years ago....I shot Annie and Jon's fabulous wedding. This event was amazing and I'm so excited that it is going to be published in Get Married Magazine:)

A few snippets from Annie and Jon's beautiful August wedding:

Christmas wish list.

I normally try to keep my blog dedicated solely to photography....but sometimes I see something so fabulous that I just have to post about it.

I know what I want for Christmas more than anything. A Snuggie!!




Please know that I am kidding. I saw the commercial today for the first time and laughed so hard. At first I thought it was a joke. Did they REALLY just show a family sitting around a campfire wearing snuggies doing "raise the roof"? Did they REALLY just show a dog reading a newspaper wearing a Snuggie? Did they just show two people at a MOVIE THEATER wearing a set of Snuggies? And come on, did they REALLY just show an entire extended family wearing Snuggies doing the stadium WAVE?

Hysterical. Purely Hysterical.

Please, if you like the Snuggie, don't be offended by my post. I just found the commercial to be outrageously hilarious. It almost seemed like an SNL skit.

But in all seriousness, here are a few things on my Christmas wish list:

A good BOOK


Some fab JEWELRY


Some knock off designer JEANS



A fancy camera BAG


Some amazing CHOCOLATE


A gift card or two




And a happy light from COSTCO

What do you want for Christmas? Don't deny it, I know you want a Snuggie.

The Westovers.

Yes, I am related to this uber attractive family.

I love my sweet nieces and nephews:

And I love the whole Westover clan:

I can't handle the cuteness.

Look at my little boy. Oh my gosh, he is so stinkin' adorable (if I do say so myself!)

He's going on 7 weeks old!!
