Visual Trademark - A Blog By CJ Mills

Last week, while playing outside, Jade would randomly drop to the ground, rest her head on her arms, cross her legs and start to sing random Disney songs.  I was able to quickly grab this photo and, since I’m addicted to Lightroom, edited it a bit in there.
I wish I could peer my daughter’s mind [...]

My mom used to tell me stories of how great of a big brother I was.  My little brother and sister were twins, so you could imagine the chaos that surrounded the Mills household when those two came home to be with their big brother. I often wondered what triggered my mind to care so [...]

I am a first time Dad. By that, I mean that I’m experiencing all the stages of being a parent for the first time. I am slowly learning all the “tricks of the trade” in preparation for my little boy who is scheduled to make an appearance in July; however, this week I [...]

I LOVE the fact that, more and more each day, Jade truly becomes MY little girl. She loves singing and music. She loves being in service during the music, she loves singing in the back of our car while the music blasts as she randomly yells, “louder Daddy, LOUDER!”
I love watching her, even as we [...]
