It started out with AJ, my 8 year old, mentioning that he’d like to be a toilet for Halloween this year. His idea evolved into an outhouse, and I never could have imagined how popular and fun this outhouse costume could be. Yes, an outhouse. Can you believe it? How we made our Outhouse…
Best Friends Mini Photo Shoot #PSF {Give Me Your Best Shot}
My oldest daughter, KitKat joined me at one of my photo shoots last weekend as the official Pinterest-watcher and stylist for her best friend’s senior pictures. Even though K was not prepared for pictures (with no make up and just a t-shirt and jeans – but she looks gorgeous all the time anyway!) we…
Behind the Scenes at a Food Blogging Workshop #PSF
I LOVED teaching the hands-on food blogging workshop at Digital Family Summit (linked to “class notes”), even though preparing for it at the last minute certainly did add a little bit of stress to an already busy time of year. Although my food photography confidence is not as high as I might like it…
Family Friendly Activities in Baltimore, Maryland #MomsLoveBmore #PSF
I was invited to a Baltimore Media Moms night out on the town this past week and had the chance to get a sneak peek of three family friendly activities in Baltimore. No compensation was received beyond the fun night out, I was not asked or required to write anything about the experience, and…
Learn Food Photography at #DigiFam…With Me!
I’ve talked before about my lack of confidence in my food photography. I am a portrait photographer…shouldn’t inanimate objects be EASIER to photograph??

Engagement Photos (No, not mine) {PSF – Give Me Your Best Shot}
This week, I finally had the chance to actually use my camera for something other than so-so pictures of food. I know! It’s shocking. I have been looking forward to this particular photo shoot for ages (or at least since this summer, when the engagement was announced). Kat is not only someone I consider…
Berry Picking {PSF – Give Me Your Best Shot}
I don’t have much of an excuse, other than the fact that I had three large moles removed on Tuesday, I’m terribly sore (open wounds stink), I made an unexpected trip to the pediatrician today, yesterday was high school back to school night and tonight is middle school back to school night. There has…
Billy Goat Trail {PSF – Give Me Your Best Shot}
I just got back from an afternoon hike along the Billy Goat Trail, next to the Potomac River, with 3 of my kids. Other than the need for ice on my bad knee, it was a wonderful afternoon. It was an altogether wonderful day That included sleeping in (thanks to a day off school…
Surviving Zion National Park with Kids
It took me almost 40 years to make my first trip to Zion National Park, and when I finally made it there, I only brought one teenage daughter and my mom. But…we met my old neighbor and friend with 4 of her kids and set out for a day of hiking with our group…
