How to Find a Babysitter

September 11, 2019 by Rachel Leave a Comment

Finding a sitter that you and your kids adore can be a daunting task. In a world that is growing more and more distrustful by the hour, how do you find someone that will love and care for your kids like you do? My husband and I were in a really hard place a few years ago. We had just moved and left all our reliable and amazing friends and sitters behind. Both of my parents still worked full time and my sisters worked and were in school. My ... Read More

Has this been the model I’ve set for him? That he has to be perfect? God, I hope ... Read More

We just got back from vacation and my mind is already gearing up for my kids going back to school. Being the advanced planner I am, I’m already thinking about Halloween costumes, Christmas cards and our annual Friends-mas party. Yes, I understand it’s July, but the holidays will be here before we know it! I’m a stickler for a cute Christmas card, I have a file of our old designs and I love getting our family pictures taken each Fall with ... Read More

Overcoming Burnout

July 17, 2019 by Rachel Leave a Comment

It was November of 2014 and I was done. We had just miscarried, and everyone was pretending like it never happened… including me. I remember walking over to my camera and taking my memory card out… and it hit me. I was over it. I went back to work full time after running a very successful wedding photography business, and the business was still generating leads. I needed a stable paycheck and benefits. I wasn’t a consistent person and had no ... Read More
