No. :)

Um... this is a hard one for me. We registered for absolutely everything, b/c we didn't know what the heck we needed! I guess the breast pump was my least favorite, b/c I didn't really use it at all. And the baby sling thingy. Kingston just cried every time we put him in it.

I don't. Some days I'm completely overwhelmed. Prioritizing is crucial but so hard! I try to always put my family first though. Work can pretty much always wait. Can you remind me of this tomorrow?!?

There are a lot of options out there, but I recommend finding a hosting company that also offers templates. It's just easier to do everything through one company in the beginning, because there are so many other things you'll have to focus on, and you want to keep it simple!

Hands-down: Hawaii. I want to go back soooooo bad. The North Shore is my favorite place on earth. Dramatic statement, but true.

Yeah, I run the place. JUST KIDDING! Graphic Design, layout, publications, photos. I work with some really talented, creative people. Maybe I'll do a blog post with details!

Yep!

They just don't fit my business model. I try to work as little as possible... being honest here! And that seems to be the opposite mentality of the mini-session model.

I've had that thought once or twice. But then I quickly remember how stressed I was when I was shooting weddings, and it brings me back to reality! It's not fun to be in an exotic location if you can't enjoy it, ya know?

Can I say evvvvvverything? It's pretty brutal for awhile, and life just changes in ways you can't even imagine until it happens to you. I was so unprepared, and it feels like we've just now gotten into a good groove. We're in a really fun place right now, but it still takes a lot more planning than before! Maybe that's the biggest thing? You can still do what you did before, it just takes planning ahead!

Well, sounds like we're twins! I seriously have the smallest lips ever. Someone actually told me that repeatedly in blog comments a few years ago. (What a weirdo!) So, yeah... I like to do a red lip every now and then but usually just stick with nude lips.

Yes. Yes. Yes. and Yes. Some weeks it's crazy, but we have a lot of help! And we do a lot of praying. :)

No. But plans change, right?! So, we'll see...

Thank you! I shoot with the Canon 5D mark ii and use these two lenses the most: Canon 50mm f/1.4 and Canon 15 mm f/2.8 Fisheye. I love mentoring sessions! Email me if you want more details. :)

Well, I was REALLY disciplined while I was pregnant (ate healthy for the most part and exercised), so I think that helped.

Also breastfeeding. I mean that's just craziness. I was so hungry and thirsty all the time!

And then I got right back to my little healthy routine as soon as I felt like a human again. You can totally lose it! Just hang in there, and make yourself exercise. It will make you feel really good too!

thank you! needed a non-pregnant picture. :)

thank you! it's a seat cover. i wish they made cool, custom seats, but i couldn't find any. so i had the cover made!

i would love to work with you and your fam! i just charge for travel expenses-flight and hotel.

I promise I'm working on it! Just need to take a few pics.
