Halloween 2011

Sophia and I took Will out for his first round of trick-or-treating this afternoon. She’s been coaching him how how to say it for the past week or so, like the fantastic big sister she is. He toddled after her, climbing up stairs, announcing “tree a tree” and giving a polite “tee you” when the [...]

Catching up

The summer is always a busy time for us. Chicago keeps us locked indoors for so long during the winter months, that it’s hard to get me to stay inside very long once things warm up. Here are the broad strokes: We went to Texas to visit family. Sophia turned 10 and got her [...]

Do Re Me Fi Fi

I frequently refer to my younger daughter by the nickname she gave herself as a toddler. You’d ask her what her name is and she’d respond enthusiastically, “I’m Fi Fi!” So she’s stuck with it. Anyway, Fi is getting ready for a 50′s-themed music program at her school. She even has a speaking part where [...]

After moving, I got so inspired by this 1927 bungalow with it’s original stained glass windows and kitchen cabinets. I want to capture this environment and blend it with what I grew up around at my grandmother’s home on [...]

Time lost in tents

When my brothers and I were little, we spent many hours hiding away in tents in our backyard. It was the best place to feel like we had a little freedom, almost like we lived on our own, free to set up as we pleased, invite other kids over, do whatever we wanted. I don’t [...]

Make a Terrarium: Tuesday night crafty

This evening Fi and I put together a terrarium for our poor, homeless gnome. He’s sheltered by a money tree and flanked with angel plants and live moss we culled from the front yard. We sprinkled some Assyllum seeds in the background, so hopefully we’ll have a little flowered fairy setting when they come in. [...]

My darlings

We spent this past weekend in Madison. I was up there shooting a wedding for a friend of the family and caught this pic of my sweeties on the way out the door. Deep sigh of content. I love them so much.
