Kristin is one of my oldest friends in this area, and the person that inspired me to get into photography many, many years ago. Her family was my very first family portrait subject, back when her kids were little and I was still using film and had a dark room in my upstairs bathroom. A…
Sweet 16 – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
I am still having a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that I have a a 16 year old daughter. How in the world have 16 Christmases gone by since that Christmas Eve that I welcomed my first daughter into my life? I am also amazed at how different my daughter is at…
Wrapping. And Wrapping. And Wrapping
About a week ago, as I was recovering from that nasty flu that hit ONLY me (I’m actually very grateful that no one else in my family came down with it), I decided that if I was going to enjoy this Christmas season at all, I would need to give in to it completely. So…not…
Christmas Tree 2012 – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
Our house finally looks like Christmas! It’s funny how things change as the kids get older. We used to gather all 5 kids in the minivan and head out to pick out the perfect tree together. Now? The older kids have homework and, frankly, no interest in heading out on a cold night to pick…
SeaWorld Orlando – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
When I was in the early planning stages of our trip to Florida at Thanksgiving, I figured that our big theme park experience would be at Disney World. I mean….Orlando IS Disney, right? Strangely, as much as we are Disney fans, my kids had other things in mind. I guess for the teen crowd, Harry…
Boggy Creek Airboat Rides in Kissimmee, Florida #PSF
Kissimmee, Florida, trip: Day 2 You’d never know that any of my kids were nervous and hesitant about taking their first airboat ride. Last Monday I had my second experience at Boggy Creek Airboat Rides, but this was the first time any of my kids had been on an airboat ride. And we all had…
Happy Thanksgiving – Photostory Friday/GMYBS
I completely forgot that it was Thursday today until I was getting into bed….exhausted after a very full day at Universal Island’s of Adventure. I’m a little worried I won’t be able to keep my eyes open for much longer to write this post. I really need to stop typing before I say something stupid…
I Have Pre-Vacation Brain – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
It didn’t really hit me until just a few minutes ago that it was Thursday evening. I mean I knew what day it was….we’ve been doing the countdown to our big Florida trip for weeks and we are finally leaving TOMORROW. This afternoon, we’re in the middle of pre-vacation craziness. The kids are bouncing off…
Happiness in Black and White – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
My kids had another 4-day weekend, and instead of sitting at home like we did for days during Hurricane Sandy, we made plans to drive to my sister’s house to spend the day with the cousins….and their new puppies. The puppies were a huge hit, and I haven’t seen so many REAL smiles all in…
Halloween Class Parties 2012 – Photostory Friday GMYBS
I’ll admit – as much as I love candy (I really do. It’s bad) I’ve never really gotten the hype over Halloween. I’ve never been one to go all out with costumes (most years I just let my kids pick something from the stash of costumes I keep in the attic), although last year I…
