Waiting for baby
You’ve seen lots of newborns here at H&W, but this is the first time I’ve posted a maternity shoot—and I don’t know why I don’t do more of these! It’s such a happy time to be with a couple, plus it comes WITHOUT the sleep deprivation that parents of newborns bring to the table. I…

Meet lovely Zoe, seven days old. This isn’t just any gorgeous newborn baby, but a true celebrity baby! Here’s why: Zoe’s mom delivered Zoe with her husband by her side, except he was coaching her, supporting her and loving her via Skype—all the way from Afghanistan, where he has been stationed since last summer. And…

I’ve been weeding through photographs, and keep making perfectly delightful discoveries along the way—like these, for example! This is my cousin, Alanna, and her son, Justin, at our house at Christmas. I can always count on my cousin Alanna for any number of things—her excellent writing, her brilliant wit (any of her Facebook friends would…

We spent some time in Vermont at the end of school vacation week, visiting the cousins (not pictured here, these are just friends of the family), gathering eggs, feeding sweet clover to cows and playing in lots and lots of snow. These girls loved the attention from our little guys, but didn’t know what to…

I’ve been fortunate to be exceptionally busy with the photography side of my life, going to some fantastic workshops and conferences and meeting amazing people, but that doesn’t make me miss you any less, especially when I’m doing things like (yawn) working on contracts. (On a side note, I can’t recommend the Spread the Love…
Read MoreSay hello to River
I was so very glad to finally make the acquaintance of my new friend River this weekend. I say finally, because the young chap decided to go ten days past his due date, after we were all convinced that this child of preemies would come early himself. And then it was two WHOLE weeks before…

So yesterday I bid a teary farewell to my beloved Keurig coffee brewer. After just three years of loyal service, it gasped, spat and died in my arms. I called Keurig’s service team, who assured me they could do nothing about it, then kept asking what they could do for me in unbearably perky tones.…
Read MoreFood Friday: Slow-Cooker Moroccan Spiced Chicken with Apricots
I know. Stand back. I’M ACTUALLY POSTING ON A FRIDAY. ABOUT FOOD. I’ve really missed it, and been longingly drooling over other food blogs, but Fridays have just seemed to be the day where I have the most fleeting possible relationship with the computer, and while I know I could write Food Fridays ahead of…
Read MoreHot time in the city
We ventured forth to the big city last week, to visit with some college friends in town, to celebrate the birthday of a young lady who just turned 10 and to go for a ride on the rails. Will takes his train rides VERY seriously. It all went off without a hitch, and we even…
Read MoreWe interrupt our regular programming to say
Happy Birthday to my dear hubby, celebrating a milestone birthday today! With love from me and your two favorite prize fighters. Note black eye and missing tooth—we run with a tough crowd at our house. And for those of you who didn’t believe Henry’s eye got worse? Exhibits A, B and C! Yes, complete with…
