*** FIRST THINGS FIRST: Please do NOT tell me that you think photos of my daughter(s) are cute, adorable, charming, lovely, pretty, etc....and then ask if you can use them on your own website(s). Photos of my daughter(s) are here to share with family. I make some public because I like the photos, and I have a right to share them. I do not find it appropriate for anyone to wish to use ANY of my photos (whether they are of my child or other subject matter) for use on their own personal websites, flickr accounts, or social networking sites. I will BLOCK you, if you favorite photos of my child and have NOTHING public available on your flickr page. ***

Now that I have that out of the way....

I'm mommy to Kenzie and Aubrey, wife to John, a crafter of handmade things, taker of photos, and maker of music.

Photography is a hobby for me. I use natural light to capture my photos. I rarely use flash. I love music, and tend to always have music playing, which is why I tend to quote a lot of songs with my pictures. Sometimes the lyrics might fit the image, but usually it's just what I happen to be listening to or it has the "feel" to fit the picture.

Most of my pictures are public, but to avoid baby overload, I have a lot of family only baby pictures. You aren't missing anything, just more baby pictures that I have uploaded for family who don't get to see her everyday.

*** My doll contacts are now "friends only". Select doll photos will be public, but to avoid freaking people out with the overabundance of doll photos, I have decided to keep the public pictures less dolly-related. So if you are a dolly person, and want to see more of my pictures, just add me as a contact, and I'll be sure to add you back. ***

If you're interested, I'm on Facebook (Shannon Hauppa).
