smile for the birdie? say cheese? whomever came up with these things…well, let’s face it, they were either lunatics or trying to make a toddler grin. apparently, it worked, and it stuck. so, now, i’m behind the camera, welcoming you to take a look at life through my lens. disclaimer: sometimes this lens is self-reflective.

on birthdays in my family, we celebrate with DQ ice cream cakes. the tradition seems to be dying tongues with icing & making silly faces.

ashley (l) and hannah (r) - 2 of my 3 cousins who live in Michigan. I went up to visit in July & spent the weekend with them in Pentwater. Love them to pieces, dont get to see them nearly enough.

i learned how to shoot guns this winter, check me out with my super sweet 12 gauge shotgun. i hit the target, dont you worry.
