This week has been normal. I love writing that sentence. Sometimes the routine of life can help one relax, breathe easy, and appreciate the itty bitty grains of awesomeness in August. Like how AMAZING the weather has been, holding steady at 70ish degrees this week with pure sunshine. Lately, I’ve been thinking about what kind […]

Transformative Blogging: A Free Write on Pregnancy, Feminism, and the Internet
Three years ago, I started blogging. I was newly married, working at a university, confronting my disdain for the midwestern common, and beginning to fall in love with photography. Today I am 4 months pregnant, working at a spiritual center, combing through my complex relationship with geography and identity, and am a freelance writer and […]
Yank the Umbilical Cord When You Need Something
This weekend, Nick and I travled to Cincinnati for a wedding that I was shooting. Thanks to Julie Ryan, who referred me to a friend and co-worker, I was hired to work with a terrific couple for their August 1 wedding. Now, I’ve shot weddings before and am co-shooting another one with a friend in […]
The Most Influential Women in Media
Sometimes I love – like SERIOUSLY – love the copy and paste function. The Most Influential Women in Media is based on money, fame, audience and power. Money is determined by an estimation of earnings from approximately July 2008 to July 2009. Audience is determined by average Nielsen Media Research numbers for television ratings and […]
Our Summer in Pictures III
Nick and Kelly. Brother and sister. How lovely… This was taken after the ceremony for Abby Cordonnier’s wedding (family photo below) and before the reception. Kelly was a bridesmaid. It’s hard to believe from this loving photo that these two used to fight over the phone with Kelly slamming the door and turning up the […]
Our Summer in Pictures II
This was a picture from the deck of our condo in Folly Beach. Surprisingly, Nick is spending much of his time reading and relaxing. I didn’t take too many photos of the lovely Charleston. I think the weather was just too darn hot and my big camera just too darn heavy to make the effort. […]
Our Summer in Pictures I
This is Joey, our nephew who is a little over a year old. Joey is the youngest of our nephews and niece and when they come to visit, Nick and I love to take them to the park up the street. If this picture doesn’t brighten your day, I don’t know what will.
Letter #9
Dear Veronica, In about two weeks, I’ll know for sure (well, almost sure) what gender you are and that seems to be a monumental event to everyone but me. In some ways, I’ve already known you as Veronica, but you could be Isaiah, and I’m wondering how that will change if I find you are […]
Charleston, Abby, and the Yellow Bug
The truth of the matter is that life is complex. Life is complicated and busy as a pesky summer bee. I feel that is all I can say after I look at the unimpressive amount of blogging done in the past few weeks. And sometimes I get so behind in this particular blog that I […]
Brevity
I just got back from Borchers family vacation 2009: Charleston, SC. Nick and everyone else hit the road while I flew the friendly skies. I’m exhausted and need sleep, but this is all you need to know for now before I write up about the beautiful south: my return flight was horrendous. The fan above […]
