Vanessa and I used to be coworkers, but she said goodbye to us Long Beach labor and delivery folk and ran off to be with Jason,  her true love,  in Colorado. I can’t say that I blame her, either.  She invited Tim and me to her pretty new state to photograph their wedding, and it [...]

Carter had a very particular request for his 4th birthday present this year. He called me specifically to ask if I could make him a “Merry or a Pippin costume from ‘Rord of the Rings.’” Not your typical request from a four year old, but I decided that I was up to the task. Carter finally [...]

This is a pretty picture-heavy post…because that’s really all it’s about.  Tim took me and my camera along with him when he went surfing on  Saturday morning at River’s End in Seal Beach.  This is a bit of a photo journal of that morning: Up and at ‘em early…although I’d already been awake for almost 3 [...]

Wow, am I behind on my posts, or what? Tomorrow is the beginning of April, and this post is about my niece’s birthday, which was March 1st. As they say, “better late than never,” right? I’m gonna go along with that for now. I decided to make Leanna a nice big hooded towel for her 1st [...]

Tim and I drove out to Arizona for a cousin’s wedding this past week. On our way (okay, so it was really out of our way), we made a stop in Sedona for some mountain biking. We planned to camp in the bed of our truck the night we arrived, then head out to the [...]

I’ve been keeping up with the blog i heart faces for a while now, but I have yet to enter one of their photo challenges. This week’s theme is “Best Face Photo,” and I thought of this adorable picture of happy Daphne:

I made tutus for the little girls for Christmas this year: black and red for Daphne, yellow and teal for Lily, and two shades of purple for Leanna. I’m still waiting on pictures of Leanna since she couldn’t be with the rest of us at Christmas, but here are the other two! Lily, Barbie, and Heather: While [...]

For Christmas, I made Carter a Knight in Shining Armor costume, which he said makes him Prince Edmond.  He just happened to have the movie Prince Caspian playing in the background while he opened it, which seemed appropriate. The lion on the front is a copy of the Finnish national emblem, but Carter was excited that [...]

Tim and I bought a gingerbread house kit the year we got married…which was 3 years ago. It had been in various kitchen cabinets until we finally pulled it out this year! Two perfectionist creative people working on the same gingerbread house at the same time? It actually worked out very well… : ) Here are [...]
