I’ve had my D90 for nearly a year now. Two months shy of the date. It’s funny sometimes to look at the counter and see so many thousands of photos that have been taken. Some people think I’m insane, but I think most photography-minded people probably see the sense in […]

I love this photo. Because it clearly shows how much he loves his grandma. I remember my mom saying at my baby shower that she was very nervous about being a grandma because she’d never done it before. Yet she had nothing to worry about. She and Dev have a […]

Last Wednesday was our anniversary. Nine years and we haven’t strangled each other! I was recovering from my three-day volunteer stint for Festival and feeling in a non-camera mood last week, so I’ve been lax on the updates. I did, however, recruit a shorter member of our family to snap […]

She’s so darn adorable. I took dozens of photos, of course. So I had to share two more. It doesn’t hurt that Fiona’s house has a big, beautiful window in the living room. I’d kill for that kind of light in my house!

Isn’t she sweet? And so, so tiny. As of the photo, she hadn’t been christened. I’ve since discovered that Dev’s buddy decided on the name Aglet. That would be the name of the little plastic thing on the end of your shoelace. Creative, eh? Dev was so gentle with her. […]

A shift in his sleep patterns is coinciding with these lovely, summer-ish evenings. So he’s been able to stay up a couple of nights during this holiday weekend, one to catch fireflies* and another to enjoy ice cream on the deck. The best part is that he seems to have […]

Apparently I deprive my child. Or so he said tonight in the grocery store. “But I hardly ever have Cheetos!” So plaintive and earnest. Sheesh. Alright. Have some Cheetos, then.

Of the three pets, Lucy’s the one who really lets Devin get up close and personal. Juliette is friendly enough, yes. But she’s not really into a kid hanging all over her. She’ll politely remove herself from the fracas and find a more comfortable spot. Maggie doesn’t even let him […]

He asked me to write something. I chose “hello.” He took my greeting and ran with it, turning it into a neighborhood hug. As I snapped this pic, he was asking me, “How does it look?” I love him.

 The setting sun was streaming through the window of the back door. Maggie was waiting as patiently as possible for me to refresh the water bowl. (I made her wait until after I snapped the pics. Mean.) Lucy just loves wending her way among the table legs. No matter […]

I’m beyond excited by the spring we’ve been having. To celebrate the last day of April, we had ice cream cones, climbed a tree (or watched the boy climb one) and then got rained on by the flower petals as Mommy shook said tree, and had a sword fight in […]

I find it kind of ironic that I’m a writer by profession and a photographer by hobby and still the least favorite activities to do with my kid tend to be those that use the most imagination and creativity. “Momma, you be the mommy dog and I’ll be the puppy!” […]
