That Post I Keep Talking About For the past 3 months (or possibly longer; I’ve honestly lost track of time), I have been writing and re-writing this blog post easily a million times now. The first couple thousand drafts read like a pity party and a bunch of really lame as excuses. A couple people…

Reality. For a moment… Sometimes my oldest allows me to take her photos. It has been years since she has actually “let” me photograph her in any other way than a sneaky and blurry candid. This is from November of 2014. 4 more months and she turns 11. Blown away daily by how amazing of…
