Miss O's adorable best friend, Shreya. They will start school together in the fall. I pity the poor teachers - these two girls are such little chatterboxes!

B&W

2008-03-10T21:54:00.000-05:00

As a photographer I LOVE color, so it's a rare treat for me to try my hand at some Black and White photography for a change. All the different textures made this pic the perfect candidate!

Mini GQ

With big sister at school during the week now, this guy has his share of the limelight!

Happy Valentine's Day

You can bet she ate all that candy just as soon as we were done!!

The Best Of Both Worlds

2008-01-07T14:39:00.000-05:00

She wants straight hair.
I say curly.
We compromised with, of all things, a Hannah Montana wig .....
My goodness - what will it be like when she's 16???

Kiawah Island

2007-12-29T17:32:00.000-05:00

Reliving the fun we had in October when we vacationed with my parents in South Carolina. Such a beautiful part of the world!

Christmas Card Time!

2007-11-11T21:25:00.000-05:00

We had a fun family afternoon by the lake at Winter Park taking some snaps for this year's Kenyon Christmas Card. Where did the year go???!

Portland, Oregon

2007-08-07T21:58:00.000-05:00

I had a ton of fun meeting these gorgeous kiddos at Skye Hardwick's Soulographer Workshop in Portland this weekend. http://workofheart.typepad.com/soulographer/

It was a double bonus beacuse I stayed with my best buddy while I was there and we had a blast! Check out HB's site - she's the greatest! http://www.bludomain6.com/boyles/

We got to meet and work with tons of great photographers - so a huge HI! to Bev, Candi, Pam, Michelle, Nicki, Darcie, Canadian Jen, She Saw Jen, Amanda, Wynona, Tarah, Sara, Melanie, Sandy, Erin, Jessica, Skye and our hostess with the mostest, Tracey. You girls seriously rock!

Thanks for such a fun weekend!

Happy Independence Day!

2007-07-03T18:05:00.000-05:00

July 4th is also her Daddy's birthday so we have huge celebrations planned! Thank goodness someone else is in charge of the fireworks ;) ;)

Beach days

2007-06-27T22:23:00.000-05:00

We were lucky enough to spend 5 sun-filled days at the glorious Ponte Vedra Inn & Club this week! http://www.pvresorts.com/PVR-FrameSets/InnFrameSets/f-PVICProfile.html
Such a pretty beach - one of our favorite places!

We are home again after a wonderful month-long vacation in Australia. Of course there are plenty of vacation photos to share - here is Miss O enjoying the sunshine by Sydney Harbour!

An Outing with Thomas...

2007-04-25T00:09:00.000-05:00

Thomas The Tank Engine visited Mt Dora again this weekend and the children had a blast!
Here's O checking her tickets before reluctantly handing them over to the conductor.

Cake-a-holic!

2007-04-19T14:48:00.000-05:00

Here's little Miss Sweet-Tooth savoring the fruits of her labors! Today we baked a batch of cupcakes and used our new Wilton Silly Feet Silicone Baking Cups! They looks so cute, are a dream to clean up afterwards, and anything that's recyclable has to be good, right?!

Learn to swim!

2007-04-18T15:34:00.000-05:00

Miss O is taking weekly swimming lessons and likes to practice at every opportunity - including the bath!
Unlike her mother, she doesn't seem to mind getting her hair wet .....

Princess O

What little girl doesn't dream of playing princess every now and again? Friends told us about the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Disney Marketplace. Sounds right up Miss O's alley! I know where we'll be visiting this summer ...

Happy Easter!

2007-03-31T14:29:00.000-05:00

With all that promise of chocolate is it any wonder that Easter is my favorite holiday?!

The most delectable Easter treat of all? Lindt Gold Bunnies, of course!

http://www.lindor.de/2865/2870/3159.asp?navId=3178

Yum!

We ♥ Polka Dots!

2007-03-31T12:58:00.000-05:00

Polka dots: they're so much fun and to me they just scream "Springtime!"

This year our closets seem to be full of them!

Check out mini Boden for the most beautifully designed and practically indestructable kid's clothes... (plus some pretty cute things for Mom too!)

Here's a 12% off coupon to get you started ;)

Yes! I am an enabler......

First Ballet Recital

2007-03-30T22:42:00.000-05:00

Tuesday afternoons are the most exciting time of the week at our house. That's when Olivia attends ballet lessons with Miss Beverly at the Orlando Ballet School.

http://www.orlandoballet.org/schoolhome.htm

Her first year of "Dress Up and Dance" is almost drawing to a close and this week the little ballerinas had a chance to try on their new pink recital costumes. Here's Olivia's friend Kate looking very gorgeous in hers!

Afternoon light ...

2007-03-29T12:53:00.000-05:00

... is the absolute best time for picture taking! And all that nice new spring growth in the garden helps too!

From one extreme to another ....

2007-03-22T03:33:00.000-05:00

Sometimes quiet and contemplative ......

2007-03-22T03:31:00.000-05:00

... and sometimes not!

2007-03-18T21:26:00.000-05:00

Glorious natural light!

2007-03-09T14:10:00.000-05:00

We spent the past week in South Florida. D had to go to work while we got to play by the pool all day!

I love this hotel - it has huge plate glass windows that let in the most beautiful light for taking photos.! Is it bad to choose your hotel on that basis only??

A free spirit.

2007-03-04T14:19:00.000-05:00

I love the way children are so full of joy and self confidence. This child will dance anywhere, anytime, just on a whim!

Pure joy for a mother to watch.

2007-03-04T14:18:00.000-05:00

2007-03-04T14:17:00.000-05:00

Don't you love this amazing mosaic wall as a backdrop? It was just a stroke of luck that her dress happened to match!

Dots and bubbles

2007-02-28T14:29:00.000-05:00

2007-02-28T14:28:00.000-05:00

Let me assure you - it's no mean feat blowing bubbles with one hand and trying to take photos with the other!

At times like this I need an assistant!

2007-02-28T14:27:00.001-05:00

2007-02-28T14:27:00.000-05:00

Waiting for Spring...

2007-02-26T14:30:00.000-05:00

This week was so special - my dear friend and fellow photographer Heather B travelled all the way from Sandy, OR to spend a week with us. The Sunshine State lived up to its name during her visit and we had the happiest time (and of course documented the fact with TONS of photos!).

We miss her like crazy now she's gone..Come back soon, H!

See her beautiful work here:
