Fall Foliage for Everyone
Molly & Michael. Getting married in 8 days. You see fall in all it’s multi-hued grandeur. You take your camera and shoot away. And you get home and wonder why you didn’t quite capture the rich, eye-popping color you saw with your own eyes. While I am nobody’s idea of a landscape photographer, there are…
Read MoreWordless Wednesday
I’ve never done the Wordless Wednesday thing out there in blogland, mostly because I’m not usually one to be wordless. However, I’m not really sure what to say about this one, so Wordless Wednesday it is! For photos and less talk, click over to Wordless Wednesday.
Read MoreWhen food bloggers have lunch
This is a very late Food Friday post, but I can’t go another week without posting this deliciousness. At a recent meetup of mommies and current/future mommy & food bloggers I enjoyed the most divine lunch, outside on the patio, on a gorgeous 75-degree October day. And now, you can, too. The bread seen above…
Read MoreJump Around
One of my favorite things to do with subjects of all ages is make ’em jump. Kids in particular can’t seem to get enough of it, and I’ve had a lot of fun this summer stopping the action. Technique-wise, it’s easy to do, at least from the camera’s point of view. 1. Shoot in manual…
Read MoreTheme Thursday: Multiple Multiples
This week’s Theme Thursday theme over at photographer Stacy’s is MULTIPLE and I just had to participate since I had a ready-made entry—these fantastic triplet boys, taken way back in March when they were just weeks old. Now, of course, these handsome fellas are so grown up they are practically ready to drive and go…

Henry, 27 months 1. Tell me, in breathless, painstaking detail, what you had for lunch at school that day when I pick you up. You know, the lunch I made you that morning. “I gotta peach, Mama! And noodles!” 2. Refer to the skin of the peach as the “wrapper” and the pit as the…
Read MoreWhen the subject isn’t the subject
Oh, and a double posting today, because today is the last day to post a photo tip and and enter to win a $50 Amazon gift card at Beyond Megapixels. Did you do it yet? In photographs, you can often tell a story in a different or unexpected way. For example, did you need Will’s…
Read MoreFood Friday: Apple-Oat Muffins
All of a sudden it is feeling a lot like fall, so naturally? We went apple picking. Even Henry, age 2, can reach the apples on the lowest branches, so it was a successful venture all around. For our first foray into cooking with apples this fall, we decided on apple muffins. I took the…
Read MoreNude Tuesday
Maile Wilson, one of my favorite photographers ever, blogs and previews her work over at Daily Relish. Check it out–beautiful stuff happens there. Maile has begun hosting a fun activity each week, Crapshoot Tuesday. She picks a photo that she might have thrown away for technical imperfections, but saves for what it captured. I love…
Read MoreBLT (The L stands for LOVE)
I keep saying summer isn’t over yet, and this sandwich is proof. I dined on this delicious BLT Saturday night for dinner during a little weekend getaway, and, well, YUM. That’s a yellow Brandywine tomato, picked that morning from my yard. And bacon. Yum. Thank you to my lovely hosts and my wonderful traveling companion!…
