I very recently discovered this fascinating 3-part documentary about race in society, science & history, which asks quite a compelling question – how valid are your beliefs about the human species? This is a PBS documentary, which I’ve just ordered, but have already read a lot about on their website. Some of the many major […]

Sometime last night, we surpassed one million page views on this blog. That’s a bit astounding to me, as this blog is only 4 3/4 months old. *(I measure time like my children do now. My son is not 3 and he’s not 3 1/2, but he’s not quite 4, so of course he is […]

My daughter reminded on Friday that today is a holiday, the day that Martin Luther King Jr. was born (or at least today we celebrate that birthday). So I asked her what she’d been taught about him in school. Her response, verbatim: “That he was a hero. That he changed the world. That he said […]

My good friend dropped by our house yesterday to catch up for a bit. As we were chatting, her eyes kept meandering to this framed piece I have in my house of my parents: She apologized for getting distracted from our conversation and commented on how much she loved the piece. Always happy to talk […]

After the non-stop race pace of the convention in Tampa Bay, I was fortunate enough to carve out TWO FULL DAYS by myself. I headed across the water to Safety Harbor and basically hunkered down with all my ideas, thoughts & inspirations and created a nice planning session for the business for 2008. The plan […]

I’m running a tad behind on posting right now because I’m in Tampa Bay, Florida for a photography convention. I’m actually surrounded by a great international collection of photographers who are meeting for a series of seminars about all things photography. I am one of the Speakers here, which is really quite an honor, especially […]

Tomorrow evening I will be hosting a Giving Party at my house that was meticulously planned by Perri Kersch, Mary Beth Grealey and Neva Bartholomew. Planning has been underway for a while now for this fun endeavor. So, what is a Giving Party? Think Southern Living House Party meets Give Peace A Chance. Or something […]

We rolled outside to do a bit of yardwork and it turned into a full-on Leaf Fest. Sophie started the craziness with the full-on pile throwing! I know I am a bit biased, but how awesome is that smile??? Leaves are this year’s hottest hair fashion. Sophie was quite zen-like in such a natural habitat… […]

I am having lunch with a few photographer friends tomorrow, and since we don’t have a lot of time to meet, much less eat (definitely in the thick of the Busy Season), I thought I might check out their blogs so that I could be more up to speed with their work, lives, etc. – […]

The Triangle Ramblin’ Rose Triathlon was last week, and we’re just now seeing all the photographs from it – what a blast this was!! It was put on by Endurance Magazine, my all-time favorite magazine – nothing at all to do with the fact that my hubby’s the publisher 🙂 – but this women’s-only sprint […]

I told my brother I’d be happy to take a few photographs at his wedding in Johnstown, Pennsylvania – and I ended up having so much fun, I shot the whole thing! That’s the serious danger of loving your job. My sister-in-law with her boys, my sweet girl in full curtsy & Caleb with his […]

I find it somewhat fascinating how many moms will apologize to me for their children’s behavior. I’m always quick to point out that, first of all — and most importantly — some of the best images are Kids Not Behaving!! And, secondly, I am in no position to accept such an apology. As a mom […]

My itty, bitty baby, my very tiny infant girl, my daughter…well, she somehow …and I simply don’t know how… well, she went ahead and started her very first day of kindergarten last week. I mean, c’mon, look at that gigantic backpack! Even though we were eager to get there, she allowed her dad to take […]
