My Boys’ Birthday Portraits

I started the tradition of creating birthday portraits for my kids last year. Yesterday and today was my oldest and my youngest sons’ birthdays, so we went out for a session today while my daughter was at a birthday party “just for girls”.

I thought the light was perfect for our session - cloudy, yet bright. [...]


It Took 27 Years…

It took 27 years before I got my own orchid.

Orchids have been my favorite flower since I was 12 and worked in a little flower shop on base. The owners were friends of my mom, who worked on base and frequented their shop. When they needed a bit of help, they asked my mom if [...]


A Little Election Excitement

I’m writing this on Saturday, but you’ll be reading it on Election Day. I have a couple of sessions coming up next week and know I won’t have the time to post this on the day I want it live, so I’m doing it ahead of time.
Blogging’s cool that way.
We voted a couple [...]


Down On The Farm

We stopped by our friend Rosemary’s yesterday. We used the excuse that we needed to pick up some eggs, but we really went to play (the kids) and have a nice conversation (the women ).

It’s always hard to get the kids to leave Rosemary’s, but that’s probably mostly ‘cuz I’d like to stay and [...]


Not Much Going On

Things have been busy, but just family wise. I believe it was more than a week since I’d clicked my camera!!
So when S was drawing at my feet the other day, I knew I had to take her picture.

Both of her grandfathers are left-handed, and so proud to have a left-handed granddaughter.
Use [...]


Photos Of Things

I thought I’d share a couple of recent photos I made that aren’t of people.
I based my logo off of this photo, though my designer had a hard time capturing the “glow” I wanted. I’m glad she did, as she created a more whimsical design. More unique as well, as soon after I [...]


Thrice Blessed

I had training for NILMDTS today (about which I’ve posted before), and have a sinus headache from all the crying I did.

Thank goodness Betsy, our trainer, had thought to bring tissues for everyone!!

The whole thing made me realize even more how blessed I am to have my children - healthy and safe - in [...]

Some Morning Drama

I woke up super early this morning, very uncharacteristically if I am not woken by A.
Because it was cooler outside than in, I took a book out and sat in the shade reading.
I kept getting distracted by birds that were obviously bothered by something. A squirrel came by and they were nearly dive-bombing [...]


Walk Like A… Ballerina

I’ve always wanted to capture shots of my daughter walking on her toes.
She doesn’t do it the typical way. She walks on the tops of her toes.
Like a ballerina!
Here she is on her way up; toes already curled under.

Here she is on her toes.

The foot on the left isn’t as high because she was getting [...]
