Details


It amazes me how even the tiniest forms of life can be so intricate in detail. There is a whole other world right in front of us full of pants and animals that is so tiny it often goes unnoticed. 
It takes a special kind of person to notice these little details around us like an ant carrying food twice its size, or morning dew on a flower. And for me, recognizing these things makes me appreciate my life a little more.

Bundle Of Joy

Evelyn Sloan McLaughlin
Born June 13th, 2017
Not the greatest quality photo, have not had time for a photoshoot yet:). I just want to welcome my sweet little niece Evelyn into the world! This has been such an exciting time for the whole family. And she came just in time for fathers day! 
Congratulations to my brother and his girlfriend on their bundle of joy.
 Can't wait to be part of this adventure.

Unless.


Plants. 
They give us oxygen, beautiful gardens, shelter, and even food. 
Plants do not only help humans, but all of nature and very from towering trees 
to the smallest flowers. They can endure the toughest weather, hot or cold, and adapt to their environment. 

Sometimes, I think that we take advantage of them. We cut them down as if they are 
nothing and leave them to wilt. But we need to remember that they are the most innocent of living creatures. Plants can not defend themselves, so it is our responsibility to take care of them like they take care of us.  

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."

Summers Heat

We are slowly, but surely starting to get into the heat of summer.
 Longer days, beach trips, afternoons by the pool, and cookouts. This is one of my favorite
 times of year because it is a chance to relax, unwind, and enjoy the sun. Even though I will be 
working on my portfolio, I am looking forward to taking some time to kick back by the pool 
with my family this season.
