“What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more” – Dr. Seuss I have kept that quote in my head this holiday season. I normally make a Christmas wishlist, a list I make in my head. It helps me answer the questions I get from […]
I spent the afternoon with my niece, taking pictures of her frolicking in the garden. I love taking pictures, a ton of pictures. It’s even better when the subject is so much fun to play with. My sister dressed her up really cute. I wish I had outfits like my niece when I was little. […]

I just returned from a fun filled weekend in Mammoth this past weekend. This was my first time in Mammoth during summer season, it was beautiful.
