Ultimate Blog Party 2011- Welcome Friends

Filed Under: Family, Photography

I am so glad you stopped by from the Ultimate Blog Party. My name is Sarah and I am the writer behind Naptime Momtog. I love spending time with my husband and my boys. I love taking photos and editing them. I am no professional for sure, but love learning and sharing new things. While you are here you can follow with Google Friend Connect & Email {both on the right}, RSS Feed, Facebook and Twitter.


I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Kenny, for almost 7 years. We have two wonderful boys- Dustyn, who is 3 years old and Carsyn who is will be a year old in May. They are my world. I love writing about new things they are doing and writing about Carsyn’s progress with Occupational and Physical Therapy for his hypertonicity.

I have been taking photos with a DSLR since December of 2009. I first got into it because I wanted to take better photos of my first son Dustyn. It then became a passion. I have a photo business blog. I really do photos for friends and friends of friend. You can see what kind of camera I use by checking out My Camera Bag.

We have 2 dogs, a cat, 5 chickens and a rooster. We live on 8 1/2 acres- I enjoy spending the boys naptime walking around our property and taking photos.  I post plenty of pictures of my boys, but also throw in some still life photos.

I host a weekly linkup for  Project 365.

If you have any questions at all feel free to leave a comment or email me. I am not perfect at photography but I am always willing to help.  Thanks again for stopping by, it is so great to meet you.

    I love the photos! They are amazing! It is not a talent that I have at all, but one that I wish I did. Your family is so beautiful! I just read where you got a mani & a pedi with your mom, sounds like a lot of fun! Love the color too, I always get spring colors hoping for warm weather. :) It's finally here where I am, thank goodness!

    Amazing photos. Love them! Which new lens did you get? We're wanting a new lens too, but they are so pricey. Any recommendations on a good place to get lens for reasonable prices? Or even used ones? Have you ever bought a used lens?

Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest kid to lose their first tooth.

It’s been loose for awhile, but when she bit a lollipop at school today it became super loose and started bleeding. Then she was crying. I went to pick her up and by the time I had gotten there she had pulled it out, it had stopped bleeding, and she had stopped crying. Still can’t believe she is old enough to be losing teeth. 🦷
