    Diana Gordon Photography, photo

      Meet my husband, the photographer! Daniel by trade is a Quality Control manager for a solar electrical contractor, but on the weekends he is a photographer. Completely different roles and jobs! He didn’t always want to be a photographer (or to be a part of the business) but after attending a wedding and shooting...

      Kayaking with Kids

        10 Things you didn’t know about me!

        There are always times were I wish I could meet and talk to more people. There is something about sitting down, discussing life, over a cup of coffee or a great meal that just warms my heart! And during this COVID situation it has been harder to meet people and learn more about their lives....

        How we survived the Coronavirus (or so we thought)

          We like to share our personal lives with our couples and all of you that follow our blog/ work. And I questioned myself about sharing this personal information but we have shared a lot about our personal lives from buying a home to our children’s birth stories over the years and this is just...

          Staying Organized in the Midst of Chaos

          Diana Gordon photography, Powersheets, Simplified Planner, photo

          This is strange time and staying organized in the midst of this chaos is so difficult. A virus, stay-at-home orders, schools cancelled, the list could go on and on. I spent the first few weeks and months of all of this, really disorganized. I didn’t use my calendar or planner (what was there to plan?!)....

            Gordon Family Update

            I just realized that six months have gone by and I haven’t shared a lot personally on the blog. I figured a Gordon Family update was in order! In January, Daniel started a new job at Huntington Ingalls (aka Newport News Shipyard). We decided for various reasons that this job change was the best for...

              Working With my Wife | Personal

              Diana Gordon Photography, photo

              If you are part of a marriage where both spouses work outside the home, the following probably sounds pretty familiar… You both return home at the end of the workday, and at some point in the evening, maybe at dinner, or when you’re settling into bed, you alternate turns asking and answering, “How was your...

                Read Part One here!! I tried everything to get labor to start. I had done this once before, I knew the signs but that didn’t keep me googling everything and anything.

                  Leland’s Birth Story | Part. 1

                    I carried our son for 41 weeks and 2 days. And those final weeks broke me but in the best way possible. I worked as a K4 teacher almost my entire pregnancy. Towards the end of my pregnancy I started putting together all my plans for Kylie’s care and my maternity leave. And this...
