About Me

Welcome to my humble little blog!  This is where I come to post
photos and random musings about my three favorite things:  My family, my
photography and my newly-revived hobby of knitting & crocheting.  I
can't always guarantee that
I'll update daily--or even weekly--but I do try!

I graduated from Millersville University in Millersville, PA in 1997 and married my "college sweetheart" Corey in 1999.  Our first son, Trevor, was born in 2000 and our second son, Aaron soon followed in 2002.

I've been employed full-time since 1999 by the transportation sector of Applied Research Associates.  In a nutshell, my office collects & analyzes highway, street and runway surface data for a wide range of
clients including states, municipalities & military.

Since 2007 I've
been self-employed part-time as a child & family lifestyle
photographer, although I've been on hiatus for a little over a year
now.  I'm still in limbo over taking paid sessions again this year, since it's quite difficult to keep up with the process while working a full-time
day job and taking care of (and being with) my family.  Come what may, however, photography will always be a big part of my daily existence!

As for the recent resurgence of my long-lost hobby of knitting & crocheting:  I suspect it has a lot to do with the fact that I'm on a computer 24/7 either at work or at home editing photos (or Facebooking or what-have-you!)  Combine that with my love for creating and it's the perfect second hobby for me.  I've known how to crochet since my grandmother taught me in grade school, and I eventually taught myself basic knitting in college.  I'm currently learning some more advanced knitting techniques, like cables (wish me luck!)

I hope you enjoy your visit here, and please leave a comment to let me know you dropped by!  I would love to visit your blog, too! ;)

Technical Issues

My apologies for the lack of a website or blog since Tuesday afternoon. My hosting company notified me of expiration of my domain name on the day of expiration while I was out of town and 2000 miles across the country! :-? I am now back home, have renewed my domain registration, and once again have a functional website! :-)

2008 In Review: Backyard Snowboarding

Since I didn’t get around to posting a ton photos from this past year, I’ve decided to do a series of “year in review” posts so I can finally share some of them!

I’m going to start all the way back in late January of last year, when Trevor was at the height of his interest in snowboarding. We didn’t get much snow last year, but whenever it did snow a little bit, Trevor was out in the backyard practicing his moves. His favorite Playstation game at the time was “SSX Snowboarding”, and he carefully studied the moves in the game so that he could recreate them in the backyard. Although it was funny watching the look of concentration on his face while he did this, he actually did quite well with some of the moves!

Happy New Year!!!
