Looking for shark teeth? Head to North Texas! We recently visited Post Oak Creek in Sherman which, even though it is many, many miles from the sea, is a popular place to find fossilized shark teeth. Korey took the kids once before while I was out of town, so even though I have wanted to […]

Food is like salt in our relationships and interactions – it enhances them. A hangout with friends? Better with a meal. A deep conversation with someone close? Better at the coffee shop.

How hypocritical is it to say that I don’t really like having my picture taken? I love taking other people’s pictures, but myself…..not so much. However, even I enjoyed it when Korey and I had engagement photos taken by a sweet friend. The engagement period is an exciting time, and everything leading up to the […]

I had the privilege of taking some outdoor family photos for my sweet friend, Claire, on some of her family’s property in North Texas a few days ago. I was outside for a large part of that afternoon before we did the pictures, and it was a beautiful, sunny day. A hat-and-sunglasses-preferred kind of day. […]
