A little Lucy Love

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a photo of Lucy … so I thought I’d show her a little love today … she is so vivacious!  I can’t believe that it’s been a little over a year since she used to sleep in Erin’s arms when Erin came over to work … man time files!  I always say that about kids, but it’s so true even with dogs … in a year of life so much change happens … it’s CRAZY!

[ a little sunshine ... or sunnyside up eggs ]

From time to time I go thru my bank of images and on certain days certain ones stick out more than others … this morning this one reminded me of the sun … or maybe I was really hungry because it also reminds me of my favorite way to have eggs! Sunnyside-Up!! Either way it cracked me up this morning and I needed a little self laughter … enjoy!

YOU.

I snapped this photo while on assignment for Maren at her art studio and it really meant so much to me.  Crazy how as artists sometimes we get caught up in the way  we think others see our work or what others are doing that we sometimes forget that what makes us an artist or what makes the people who admire our work or hire us is just that … us … or YOU.  I’ve really been doing lots of thinking about this lately because it makes me sad when people feel like they have to be one thing or another instead of being the artist that is within them … who cares what everyone else is doing … be YOU.  that is why people love you and your work.  It’s why people are drawn to you.  YOU are unique … a one of a kind …. that is what makes YOU the special and unique person you are …

SMILE …. MOMS with Cameras!

This photo brings a huge smile to my face!  These five women are near and dear to my heart … not only have I gotten the great joy of photographing all of them … but all their children!!!  How cool is that!!!  The are some of the most sweet gals I know!  I got to hang with them last Saturday and teach them a little about their cameras and we had a blast … It was so fun to hang with them and I have to tell you that when the took photos of me it was so weird … i felt so silly which is hilarious to me because I’ve pointed my lens at them so much over the past years that when the table was turned I’m sure I turned the deepest shade of red EVER!

Thanks Gerica for being such an awesome friend and for hosting our get together/workshop … you guys are all the best and I love you all dearly!

Sunshine Please

Let it be known that I’m not a huge fan of Winter. Now, I do like warm fires, popcorn with the family all snuggled on the couch watching our favorite movies under blankets, the smell of pine, hot coco, yummy wintery food, But, I’m so not a fan of the gloomy days outside. I like green! I like sunshine! I miss flowering plants and singing birdies!

I took this photo of the ivy growing from the neighbors yard on our fence. I’ve grown to love this ivy … it is green all year long! The funny thing is when we first moved into our home 11 years ago … I was like … “oh, you’ve got to cut that ivy … we can not have that ivy … it’s gotta go”. Tony was quick to take care of it … but over the years we’ve let it grow over thru the Winter so that we have some green and happy plants in our yard over this time of year. I can see this ivy from my desk at home and I love it! I have to snap a quick photo of it to share this week.

The ivy story reminds me too of the things that at first we have a quick opinion on and then it changes over time. Now, I’m not sure that I will change my mind on Winter … who knows … maybe over time … but for now … I’ll keep looking forward to Spring or at least some sunny days.
