Who I am:
- A wife of 9 years to a swell fella
- A stay at home mom to a quite handsome and loving 8 year old boy and a 5 year old daughter who has both beauty and brains. There is also Lola, the 5 year old white boxer who is probably the most popular dog I know. I have been told she needs to be cloned...she is THAT cool.
- A photographer of families, babies, kids, couples, weddings, boudoir, and now yummy food.
- A foodie in training
- A friend to some of the coolest and smartest chics out there, no lie.
What I am Not:
- Perfect in and out of the kitchen, I make plenty of mistakes. Just ask me about pink chicken.
- A folder of clothes. Ok, I am...but that is my least favorite job.
- Well rested, but that is part of being a mom...right?
- A scrapbooker. Nope. I take the pictures for many scrappers out there, but I have enough hobbies for my money and time to go to. :)
