Here is letter #2 in a blog series called “Letters to Our Daughters”, a blog circle of lovely and talented photographers from all over. Once a month we have committed to writing a letter to our daughters, to create a keepsake of heartfelt thoughts that we and our daughters will cherish. If you’d like to…
It’s been a while since I posted a personal story, dear Reader. I think it’s important to share a little about who I am as a person with you, and I don’t do it often enough. Well, that is soon to be remedied by a commitment I have made to a blog circle called “Letters…
I’ve always dreamed of flying like a bird since I was little, dear Reader. I imagined what it would be like, looking down on treetops, floating on the gentle breeze. The feeling of utter freedom would be breathtaking. Well, I am happy to say that finally had the chance to experience a taste of that…
It’s that time of year again, dear Reader! No, I’m not referring to the end of the school year, nor the beginning of summer. No, I’m referring to my annual photo shoot of Miss Sassette in the dandelions. Once a year without fail it seems, our lawnmower suffers some sort of malady, causing the vegetation…
It’s hard to believe that it is a new year again! It’s time to start a new folder of images for 2012. As I look back on my folders from previous years, I am amazed at just how many people I’ve met and photographed…how many people have allowed me into their lives to capture their…
Another year has passed, and my sweet little baby has turned 7. She is growing up so fast right before my eyes. Birthdays are always so bittersweet for me! Earlier this year, on no particular day, I decided to take pictures Just Because. The weather was good, the light was great, and I just so…
Remember that crazy day when it snowed two days before Halloween? There were autumn leaves on the trees at the same time as there was snow on the ground. The first snowfall of the season is like magic, and at this time of year, it was a fun surprise. Our dog, Happy, likes catching snowballs. …
Confession time, dear Reader. I have a love/hate relationship with my yard. Love: It’s one of the biggest and flattest back yards in my neighborhood. It’s perfect for kids to play in. Hate: It’s lumpy and full of crab grass. You see, my husband and I are both one of those people – we live…
Grandma Tu…the grandmother I never had the chance to know. Grandma Tu lived her life on the other side of the world – in Vietnam, where my mom is from. I always hoped that one day I would be able to travel there to meet her…but life happens, and making a trip of that magnitude…
Well, I did it, dear Reader. I made it through the whole day without breaking into tears. Another year has passed so quickly, and my little one is growing up. I sometimes find myself looking wistfully at little babies, wishing I could go back and hold her like that again, just for a day…and at…
