California Part 3: My favorite!

I think the best day we had in California on our previous visit was to Cabrillo National Monument. Last visit we completely missed low tide. This visit, we planned around the nicest day and to hit it up at low tide. We were not disappointed. Heavy on the pictures in this [...]

Legoland! And Christmas! California Part Two

This guy totally rocked….er, rolled.

Oliver is not big on change. In fact, there are still rides we have never tried at Legoland. Two because there’s the possibility of having water squirted on you. He finally gave in and tried them this year. He loved them! He didn’t get wet at [...]

Eye eye cap’n.

Must not tell him what he could get away with when he shines his sparkly eyes….

Pumpkins

Every year Oliver’s school library displays the children’s pumpkins….all dressed up like Childrens’ Books’ Characters. You may remember last year’s, Cargo and Woot. This year we were a little pressed for time. We actually picked the characters by ease of pumpkin modification rather than favorite characters, although we really do like both [...]

Boys!

I’m not really sure what to write about this family. I’m afraid if I write anything I will gush on and on. I think they are what every family imagines theirs should be. All three boys got on so well and interacted with their parents so well. None of the typical [...]

Personal Indulgence: City Trip

I needed to take a little break tonight from client photos and work on some photos I took in the city a couple weeks ago. We went with some friends, did some letterboxing, and had a great time. Thank you for indulging. Promise client photos next time.

At he first letterbox site – [...]

Birthday Party!

So we were fortunate enough to join our friends for a rockin’ ice cream birthday party. Really, what’s better than ice cream? This is the same family I did a shoot with last week…er, two weeks ago? Anyway, we had plans to do a little quick fall folliage in a picture or [...]

Beautiful Fall Days

Just got to explore the NH Audubon with a wonderful family. It was a great time and so incredibly beautiful. And for those of you who know me….no birds attacked! AWESOME!
This family totally rocked my socks off. They had the best time together and it was all smiles all the time. [...]

Playground Days

I missed the playground today with Oliver’s friend because I was painting and painting and painting. With as much as I paint my house, you’d think I actually like it. In any case, I was sad to miss the playground today, but to make up for it, I found these little gems that [...]

Kids’ Play

I appreciate everyone’s patience while I figure out this new website/blog.  Quick notes before the main post:
1.  If you were subscribed before, this blog will no longer email you the posts.  My super-awesome-computer-genius friend has added the subscription to the RSS feed at the bottom, so you can at least subscribe to a viewer.
2.  Thank [...]

Water water everywhere

Adore Pumpkin and Big Feller.  And some geysers to boot.

Really loved the light here.  Forget which waterfall this is. Brian has set me straight — Sabbaday Falls.

Love these little guys because they eat mosquitos.

Book Review – The Messiest Desk

After hearing this book several times over the course of Marty Kelley’s presentations at our school’s Writers’ Festival, I was PSYCHED to be able to get my grubby little hands on a copy. To be able to write a review is an honor. Thanks to the good people at Zino Press for sending [...]

Smirkus Ever After

We went to Circus Smirkus today and it was FABULOUS.  Bad pictures because it was super dark so everything is a total grainstorm, but I love them because it reminds me of the fun day we had.  The tortoise and the hare stole the show a little.  I think the tortoise is actually from Wilton, [...]

Another beach day!

Hit the beach again today.  It was quite a castle but did not photograph well.  And we had to give up before we were done.  We don’t time high tide very well….

Be on the lookout for changes to the blog and a website update.  Hopefully within the week, but I have some major work to [...]

Michigan Vacation

How boring is it to read in EVERY blog post that “it’s been awhile”.  Apologies.  Hopefully my motivation will kick in quickly.  

Our vacation to Michigan was certainly wonderful, jam packed and much fun.  In the three days we spent with my Great Aunt and my mum’s sister from Virginia, we hit up the zoo, [...]
