A Wee Bit Busy…

Farm House on Maryland's Eastern Shore

You may have noticed that I’ve been quiet, unusually quiet, over the last month. It has been a month of Mommy and Me sessions, weddings in CT and newborns but mostly a month of moving… Let take a step back, shall we. You would be correct if you thought “Wait. Didn’t she just move last year at this time?” Why yes I did and what a move that was. On a complete leap of faith, not knowing anyone, I moved to Upper Baltimore County, Maryland. I found this sweet, sweet little cottage and set up camp. I loved my little cottage but as time passed I found myself spending more and more time on the Eastern Shore. Queen Anne’s County to be exact. The majority of the people who wove themselves into my life over the last year live down

Sometimes It’s Better You Don’t Know…

01

“Wow. Working on a project and going through all my old work I did in photography school. I wasn’t just bad – I was HORRIBLE!!! Thank goodness I didn’t know it then!” Facebook Status May 8 2011 Yep, that was an actual status update a few days ago. I knew once I put that out I’d have to share the badness with you… How did this revelation come about you ask? I went searching for some inspiration for a new project on which I’ve been working. This project will involve working with others and some teaching. So naturally, I thought “Ah ha! The photo assignments I did at school are the perfect place to start!!” What I found – “WOW” and not in a good way!! I was horrible, horrible. All I could think was “Thank goodness I didn’t know

A Creative Thought Gone Wild – T Shirt Design Contest

Every now and then I have (what I think) is a fabulous idea. Sometimes these ideas take on a life of their own and become much, much bigger! Such is the case with my seemingly simple idea to have a t-shirt designed for Lil Blu Dragonfly. I had been thinking about designing a t-shirt for Lil Blu Dragonfly for at least a year now and actively talking about it for about 3 months. I did my research, talked to people and looked online for printing places. And then, I stalled and stalled. You see, I realized no one – not a soul – would wear any shirt I designed unless they really, really liked me or were looking for some major brownie points! Then flash, boom, bang a flash of inspiration – what if I got a talented high school

One For The Books – The Great Cloth Diaper Change Annapolis

Faces from Annapolis Great Cloth Diaper Change

What do you do when you get asked to document “The Great Cloth Diaper Change – Annapolis/Columbia“? You say heck yes! A few weeks back, I received an email from LeeAnne of Macaroni Kid Annapolis – Kent Island asking if I’d like to be part of The Great Cloth Diaper Change. This was an international event to set a world record with Guinness World Records for the most babies ever changed with cloth diapers at the same time. She and Rachel of Greenberries were the sponsors for the Annapolis-Columbia site. How on earth could I say no to that? I remember as a kid pouring over the Guinness Books every time we went to the book store – fascinated by the odd and empowering things people would do just to set a record. To qualify as an official site, we had

Cherry Blossoms Festival – Better Late Than Never…

cherry blossoms 1

Year after year, it never failed. We would be sitting in our kitchen, stilled bundled in winter clothing and across the tv screen would come images of beautiful, sunny weather – flowers and trees in full bloom – spring shouting out its arrival. We’d look at each in wonder. Where the heck is that and how can we get there!?! That, my friends, was the yearly DC Cherry Blossom news headliner. Spring was no where to be found in Connecticut, in fact, it would be weeks and weeks until we’d get catch even a glimmer of it! I always promised myself, one day, one day I’m going to actually see those dang cherry blossoms! A flurry of texts between friends and a date was set and then reset (because you know how it is when you try to get more
