self portrait series: november

November was all about keeping my head above water. Traveling twice in five weeks with our kiddos with two holidays sandwiched in between, plus some illnesses, made me just happy that we all arrived where we needed to be, fed and dressed through all it all.

    I love the self portrait.

i love having kids

Squishy Joss in the bath. This girl is pure JOY. Miles is such a thinker with an imagination so thick, you can tell the line between real and imaginary in his world is paper thin. On this morning he was wearing a mask (just because) and making up a story for me to write down…

it’s gail!

My friend and fellow photographer, Gail, came into town last week and we had some fun in my studio updating some photos of her. (We snapped photos in between endless chatter and major topic hopping.) Though Iโ€™ll always love the โ€œoldโ€ photos I took of you, Iโ€™m excited to see what you do with the…

our disney trip, set to music

Oh hello there, itโ€™s just me, obsessing over our Disney vacation again. It was seriously so wonderful that I find myself thinking back to it when itโ€™s a gloomy day outside or Iโ€™m just having a rough day. Speaking of rough days, this week has been a bear of a week with a six day…

a peek into our thanksgiving 2011

I didnโ€™t host thanksgiving this year. Actually, the last time I hosted thanksgiving I found out (that morning) that I was pregnant with Jocelyn, so Iโ€™ve laid low the last couple of years. This year was no different as my mom totally took over spoiling us all with a beautiful thanksgiving. My family enjoys a… Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...

    Wow It is so neat to have such a talented photographer in the family.. Thanks daughter..you rock.. I did not get out of bed until noon on black Friday. A wonderful family it is. of course Grandpa Smith worked.. It is important to him that his guards get ALL the holidays off. He’s a GOLDEN RULE guy.

    I love the idea of the candle with the photos-that is just perfect! The pumpkin just cracked me up. That is exactly something one of my family members would have done. Looks like you all had a fun day!
