we were both young when i first saw you …

Oh, it’s a love story. And quite a sweet one. One that oftentimes makes us parents shake our heads, chuckle and even blush.

My little Jack has a lady love. This is old news to those of you who know me, but for those who don’t, Jack & Emmy’s romance has been blossoming now for the...

looking back … and moving forward

I’ve been sitting here watching and re-watching, crying my eyes out over how many beautiful people have been a part of my life in 2009. This past year has not been the easiest, or even the best, of my life – but because of all of you, I have been able to walk a path...

merry christmas to you and yours from me and mine!

I can’t seem to get a very good scan of the 2009 Duncan Christmas Card, so instead I thought I’d share the photos of our sweet Jack we used this year (plus a couple extra favorites)! I wish nothing but Christ’s love, peace and joy for each and every one of you reading – and...

Ummm, hello there.

Wow. After my little self-imposed blog hiatus, I feel like I should re-introduce myself to all of you wonderful people out there. My name is Mary Alice and I make art for peoples houses with my camera.
I am a total homebody, but am becoming aware of just how much I really do love people.  I...

he’s makin’ a list…and i probably should, too!

Confession time! I feel like such a broken record and even more of  a Debbie Downer, but y’all – I am feeling the crunch around here, trying to finish up everyone’s photos in time for Christmas cards. While I probably do my best work under pressure, I am certainly NOT a very nice person when...

busy, busy, busy bee…

That’s a pretty accurate description of me these days, y’all. Whew!! After having the flu, Jack being sick and then lots of re-scheduling due to weeks of rain, rain and more rain, I have been using these beautiful, sunny days for shooting as much as I can. With all the extra editing that causes, it...

dinosaur king is what you wanna be, yeah: halloween 2009

Oh, y’all.
Phillip and I are so blessed. We seriously have the funniest, most adorable, march-to-the-beat-of-your-own-drummer kind of kid in the world! If you know anything about my Jack at all, you know that he has been obsessed with Dinosaurs since the age of two. We have had three dinosaur birthday parties, and we play with...

down, but not out, and asking for grace

If you know me personally or follow me on facebook, then you most likely know that I have been down with the flu since early Wednesday morning. I will spare you the details of the many, many ways in which this illness stinks, but I will say that it really is awful – A W...

oh, that man of mine: phillip’s sneak peek

I am so blessed to be married to this sweet, sweet man. When I look at these images of my Phillip, my heart literally sings! We met when he was 18, and I was 20. I fell hard and have been falling ever since. The first time I saw his face is a very vivid...

blue is his favorite color: kindergarten, part two

These are my favorite photos ever. And I mean EVER. I can barely look at them without sobbing. I feel like God has given me my very own “sneak peek” – straight into the year 2020 when Jack is 16 and driving away in my car. Thankfully, we are just starting kindergarten, but I am...
