Things That Make Me Smile

So in all honesty it’s been some what of a rough week. Maybe that’s why I’ve stayed away from posting online? Or maybe it’s just because I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to think. Or maybe it’s because I needed a break. Either way, I realize that my online presence hasn’t been as...

Ahhh, Relaxation

This weekend, Dave and I are up in Boothbay, ME to shoot the wedding of two of my favorite clients, Andrea and Cory. There wedding is tomorrow, so we decided to come up early to enjoy Maine. It’s been wonderful, minus the horrific traffic getting here. Everywhere you are surrounded by water and beauty. It...

Lora Ayers - oh how I love the eyelashes and eyeballs shots.July 29, 2010 – 1:31 pm

Donna Hardy - AHHHHH I feel relaxed just reading your blog. And I’ve booked the B&B in my favorites for future reference.

The excitement in Chicago the past 10 days is that the Magnificent Mile has been closed to traffic (not the sidewalks & stores) for the filming of the Transformers. Explosions and movie stars are in town. I understand they will be filming around Chicago through August — so the city will be a feature backdrop to the movie. XOXO Auntin D.July 18, 2010 – 3:07 pm

Run, Run, As Fast As You Can…

I’ve run five races in the past four months. To some of you this is a small accomplishment, I know who you are and envy your athletic prowress! But for me, it’s a different story. I’m not super athletic, even though I want to be, and I am inspired by those who are. So in...

Happy Independence Day!

I really can’t believe that it’s July already. Can you? That’s the funny thing with time. No matter how you try to slow it down or stretch it out, it always seems to fly by, at rapid pace. I have always loved the Fourth of July. The red, white and blue, the Patriotism, the bbqs,...

Work and a little bit of Vulnerability

It might be safe to say that I hide behind the camera. Ok, maybe not so much hide as become a different person. Some people would say that I am outgoing, bubbly, the happy-to-be-around-people type and this may be true. So, here’s the vulnerability part. There have been times, when my inner self just wanted...

What A Difference A Year Makes!

Singing In the Rain or Shaking Under My Covers

This past weekend’s weather has been OUT. OF. CONTROL. Seriously folks, there’s been severe thunderstorms, incredibly lightening, torrential down pours and tornado warnings. I spent most of early Saturday morning curled up under the covers shaking like a leaf, convinced that our house was going to be struck by lightning. This afternoon was not much...

Jasmine the Huntress

I’ve been feeling  sentimental lately. I recently flipped through my iPhoto catalog of images and came across photos of our cat Jasmine of when we first took her home from the shelter. The sentimental bug bit me. See, when we first met Jasmine she was this tiny kitten, with ears too big for her heard...

That’s The Life

Everyday when I wake up I see this. Everyday when I get home I see this. Always and forever right here: Isn’t that the life? To sleep all day, basking in the sun slipping through the window? Oh how I envy this little fur ball every time I walk past her. No cares in the...

Summer hurry fast!

I’m sitting on the couch right now. The heat is blasting and I’m in sweats, sweat shirt, fleece and covered with blanket. I’ve got a box of tissues by my side in hopes to stave off the cold I’ve been fighting the past few days. I spent the day running from the house to the...

My Top 10 for 2010

To be honest, I wasn’t sure if I should post this. My goals, personal and business for the year 2010 for all the world to see? What if I didn’t accomplish or finish them? What if they sounded stupid to all you out there on the internet? What if you didn’t understand? But then I...

Family Traditions

Every year on the first weekend of the December my family wakes up at the crack of dawn to head to a local Christmas Tree farm. We then search the farm for the most perfect, most beautiful looking tree. We’ve never missed a year except for one when all three of us were sick and...

Our Trip to the Big Apple

What a great last few days in New York City. I’ve been to New York more times than I can remember, but never with Dave AND he’s only been there once. He had mixed feelings about taking a small vacation here but I think this trip changed his mind. He says he didn’t actually hate...
