Home + Life + Motherhood
I know I don't share my photography work quite as much around here anymore. To be honest, 2019 was a tough year for me creatively in that area. I went through a little bit of an identity crisis. Mom life has become busier than ever. Having three kids in school and activities is no joke.… Continue reading Top 10 Images of 2019
Holidays and birthdays, and life in general, have always been about experiences in our house. We try not to focus on the things, but instead create memories along the way. I started our Activity Advent experience, the "25 Days of Hupp-mas" as I once called it, back in 2011. At the time, we had a… Continue reading DIY: Activity Advent Calendar
It's the start of a new year. We're supposed to be making proclamations of change and committing ourselves to doing life differently; to being "better" at life. We all do it. We all start the year with big ideas and a laundry list of ways we could have done things better in the previous year. … Continue reading Here’s to Being Vulnerable
2018 has been a year of change for my business. A step backwards in volume, but a giant step forward in passion. I started this year choosing to take on less; to be more selective. I was in a place of lost why. I was busy saying "yes" to everything and lost myself in the… Continue reading 2018 Client Session Favorites
Dear Mom of a T1D, You don't have to be strong all the time. I know that's the lie we tell ourselves; the lie that society puts on us. We feel like if we're not strong, how are we to expect our T1 to be strong? We have to show them how to be brave,… Continue reading Dear Mom of a T1D, you don’t have to be strong all the time.

MY FAVORITE! It's at home where you're the most you. Where you can do the things… Continue reading At Home | Linski Family | Kansas City Family Photography
October is a big birthday month around here. We have TWO October birthdays in this house alone, plus tons of friends and family who also were born in the best month of the year. When our kids were little, like really little, we had the traditional birthday parties for them each year. All of our… Continue reading The No Party Birthday
It's already October. It's my favorite month of the year. Fall is officially here. I figure it's about time to do a "this was our summer" type of post. Am I too late for that? I think maybe this unrelenting rain we've had for the last 4+ days might have some people wishing for summer… Continue reading October: 10-on-10 | Kansas City Family Photography
It's not official, but I feel like fall is here. A tell tale sign that we've shifted to fall is that it's actually cooler in the shade. Kansas summers are brutal with heat and humidity, the only salvation is air conditioning. So, even though we're still hitting 80 degrees, you can now get some relief… Continue reading Family Adventure | Cider Hill Family Orchard | Kansas City Family Photographer
