Oh is it ever good to be back. I have been swapping website servers and spent the last week working through that—if my URL seems wonky, we’re still transitioning, so I expect that within a week...
Hey folks! I have posted a little more heavily this week than usual thanks to MLK Day and the SOPA Strike. Today, it’s just a quickie to let you know that a) we’re back to our regularly s...
Hey, anybody notice the internet blackout this morning? Does your favourite website have a strange black bar censoring its header? Did you try looking something up on Wikipedia but get a kinda scary ...
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born yesterday, 83 years ago. Today is a federal holiday in America, and my understanding is that it is meant to pay tribute to this incredibly important man and to enc...
Ah, some of life’s little pleasures. The above is a photograph of my front porch, circa last year. This sets the scene for a new round of —yes, that’s right—inspired potting party! This n...
Just a quick pop-in to share a little delight—I was published! In the indie kinda way: I was invited to share my work in the loveliest indie mag-zine, Seasonzine. Actually, my photograph was specific...
‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the farm, the creatures were stirring—for Jasmine was charmed! I am utterly delighted to finally bring you the full-on, crazy family frolic I h...
I know I’ve been a little incommunicado—I suppose that’s to be expected over the holidays. Internet access has been a little limited/spotty out here. Nonetheless, I am delighted to bring ...
Ah, memories of little adventures always give me such a surge of happy. With Christmas mere days away, and SO much to do in advance of it, I hope I’m not the only one who needs that energy surg...
This may come as no surprise to you, but Christmas is less than a week out. It is largely for this reason that I have been a bit of an absentee blogger. I am admittedly a Christmas grinch, because I ...
Once upon a time, there was this shy Canadian girl who road the rails across America for a month in order to see it all and settle in San Diego. That girl? Me. I was so very different then… so early ...
If you felt that Tuesday’s bird-chasing post left you wanting more… well, I am at your service, ladies and gents. The day, in fact, did not end there! Susan and I continued on to go exploring n...
It’s been a while since the lovely Susan and I went on a little frolic excursion, but now that it’s been raining an awful lot lately, I was reminded of this one. We explored Lake Murray o...
That sounds way more exciting than it is. This is possibly because I was prepping the most charming post this morning, but managed to forget my jump drive at home. So, now, you’re getting what ...
Just a quick one to share with you as I grow this little blog garden—my lovely husband who can make sense of the PHP code that is beyond me has managed to fix a problem that might have been annoying ...
It’s only six months late, but I thought it was about time I shared our minimoon with you fine folks. Yes, we refer to it as a minimoon, because we’re currently in the planning stages of ...
Tuesdays are my least favourite days. Folks I know bitch about Mondays til they turn blue, but for me it’s Tuesday that’s the troublemaker. On Mondays, you’re still coasting in happ...
A little florafog for you on this chilly, cozy Sunday. Hope your weekends are bright and lovely! Yesterday I did something a bit crazy—I drove out to LA (well, Pasadena) for a friend’s birthday...
As some of you may know, I bought an iPhone last month, and have been dutifully making use of it’s most delightful features. It’s been amazing to be able to record things wherever I am wi...
Belief in oneself—that’s key, right folks? Well, occasionally, even though my brain knows this, I fall into a classic pit, and that pit is self-doubt. I come across maybe too much inspiration o...
Bubbles, books, dancing, racing, chalk art, tricycling, splashing around and discovery of a salamander. All in a day’s work with this utterly crazy and totally awesome family. I am so fortunate...
I took this long weekend off from blogging in order to get stuff done. Not the adventuring kind, unfortunately. But, I am back! So, here’s the deal. I have had so much on my plate lately that w...
I’m slightly (read: ridiculously) overloaded with way too much on my plate at the moment. I’m pretty sure I am working off of about one full night’s sleep—spread over the past seven...
So, I ran a photobooth at the Catalina Swing Dance Fest, and the results were pretty amusing. Seeing as how you have to ride a ferry and walk everywhere there, I decided to opt out of taking a backdr...
I am slightly overwhelmed by the gajillions and gajillions of images I shot this weekend during the Catalina Swing Dance Festival! For those of you who are unfamiliar with this place, it is an island...
This weekend, Scott and I will be away at the Catalina Swing Dance Festival, in the city of Avalon, on the island of Catalina. I’ll be shooting the entirety of the event and also dancing my soc...
He grows her vegetables and takes her on adventures. She dances her socks off and keeps him alive (she’s a doctor-to-be). They will be hitched on a little island in British Columbia. They live ...
#1—Today is the very last day of the Utterly In Love Giveaway. Get your entries in before it’s too late! #2—I love this shot so much that I have decided this family session warrants another sne...
Oh my goodness, gracious, people. I am receiving charming submissions for the Utterly in Love Giveaway and they have me dreaming of far-off places, and quirky settings and general loveliness galore. ...
Photographing for a photographer is both more exciting and more demanding than for anyone else, I think—they have certain expectations, but you also get a little extra freedom to be creative or to de...
