This month’s challenge was a hard one for me.  We were asked to photograph ugly and show beauty.  So not my thing.  I put it off for about as long as I could then headed out to my garden to see if I could get some images of a spider (ewww) or it’s web or maybe a bee.  But nature wasn’t cooperating. Instead I found a few of my plants all chewed up.  Stupid beetles.  Definitely making my beautiful garden ugly!  But as I thought about it I realized to them this is food.  Sustenance.  And even though I’d much … Read more →

He begged me to pull out the basketball hoop so he could practice his mad skills.  This boy can dunk, hit a lay up and run wind sprints!  Watch out Big Ten — I hear UMD is already recruiting him!

These three boys … Read more →

It’s blog circle time again!  This month we were challenged to shoot through glass.  I tried a couple of different concepts but really wanted to capture the boys getting ready for bed and some night time snuggles.  I was finally able to set up the images tonight. These little boys are growing so fast.  We are going through a particularly challenging phase with them – but one day I’ll look back at these images and long for the days (and nights) where they demanded so much of our attention.  (And hopefully I’ll forget the yelling and biting and temper tantrums)! … Read more →
