PICC maintenance days are not our favourite. Especially after IVIG, a blood test and a neck ultrasound. She hates the poking and prodding and I hate watching her go through it because sometimes there just seems like there is nothing I can do to help her. Got something to share? Why don’t you join in…

Special Exposure Wednesday
Apologies for our absence. We were in the hospital. We made it out for Christmas just in time. I’m still getting over the shock of it all; Ivy lost her brand new port, not five months old and now has another PICC. She was septic and although I am thankful that her heart and her…
Special Exposure Wednesday
Ivy and Noah celebrate turning five. Oh what an amazing five years it has been. I have been a little bit wistful this year. Remembering how they started life on the outside. Remembering the night they were born. Marveling at everything, at them. It will be strange, I think when they go off to school…

In a week they will be 5 (and we’ve started celebrating already) It has been an amazing journey of the heart and the spirit. Got something to share? Why…

Picture Lovers Anonymous
Hello. My name is Deborah and I am a picture addict. Back in February, I hinted at my addiction in my post about Works of Art, but now I am admitting openly that I have way too many pictures of my children displayed in my home. Ok, I hear you scoffing – how can a…
The Everyday Portrait ~ Photographing Children [with Special Needs]
Today’s guest post is by the lovely and passionately inspiring Tracey Clark, photographer, writer, mom and founder of Shutter Sisters. When Melody asked me to share a few tips for photographing children I couldn’t refuse. I love to share thoughts, ideas and lots and lots of photos. Although taking great pix of our children is…
Photographing Children [with Special Needs] ~ Those Eyes
We are drawn to one another’s eyes, and this is never more evident than when we look into a child’s bright and shiny eyes. We fall into those eyes. When photographing children [people] it is most often the eyes we seek because the emotion they depict is pure. In close-up portrait photography we are forgiving…
