    On Moving to New Hampshire

    Hi, friends. I’m taking time today to share a family update. Many of you have read my blog for years, and even though we don’t know each other “in real life,” you have assured me of your prayers for me and my family. So I wanted to give a little life update.

    Our Annual Attempt at Family Pictures // 2016

    For the past few years, I’ve attempted to take family pictures using our trusty camera + tripod combo. I use the word “attempt” because it truly is an attempt. Good thing I’m a big fan of lifestyle photography, because this is how the first 20 minutes went down… My boys were not all about getting…
