Something about raising 4 beautiful children, being a wife,  running a business and a fast paced household that  makes extra time quite hard to come by.  Imagine that! ;)

I hate that all these photos that I ADORE are hiding away on my hard drive so I’ve given myself a goal to share at least one a day for the next week. If this goes well, maybe I’ll set another goal, but for now a week is fine by me.

This was the last one that I worked on so it’s the first up. Bella and I walked down the driveway to check the mail while we were waiting for Daddy to get home. And of course she went barefoot as she always does.  We looked at a pothole in the road and talked about how they form and she found a dandelion and a clover leaf  that she said made her lucky. How I love these quiet simple moments with my children.

She’s such an animal lover and this was the perfect gift for her age.

I do not plan on holding any workshops in 2011 as of right now. I really would love to stay home and enjoy my family and our new baby during her first year. The workshops take an enormous amount of time to plan and conduct so as much as I miss the opportunity to meet you all I am taking 2011 off.

As far as the mentorships go, I will be conducting those this year. I love teaching one-on-one and feel it’s a great way for photographers to take their work to the next level. No worries about being lost in a crowd or wondering if you’ll get the shot you want. And the best part is that the learning is based 100% on what you want to focus on.

I am taking reservations for mentorships now so check out my teaching site here and shoot me an email if you’re interested.

Don’t love how tall she is getting. Or how since summer the last remaining bits of her toddler chubbiness faded. I tell everyday to stop growing, please.

Because of our insanely busy summer (new baby, house remodels, moving our family to a new home, new schools) there are so many photos that I just didn’t have time to blog. Well, this is my favorite from the summer. It just screams “summertime” to me. My kids outside playing after dinner, a friendly race, the golden grass that we have here in late summer, Bella barefoot, the boys being so sweet and giving give her a head start, giggles and screams,  beautiful blue skies…sigh. It reminds me of my childhood playing the hayfields with my brothers and sisters, hoping mom didn’t ring the bell that told us to come home.

This was one amazing evening in June-the sky was simply breathtaking! I don’t think I stopped shooting for 45 minutes and have so many photos from that night that I love. So far this is the only one I’ve had time to edit. And who knows when I’ll get to the rest. Hehe.

Bella’s class has been doing a color a day. Here she is snapping green beans into a green bowl, wearing a green dress on green day. Note the beans sticking out of her apple cider slushy. That girl is constantly building, tying, stacking and connecting things. I find crazy, elaborate creations in her room all the time-hairbows connecting rubber snakes to sundresses that are tied around bedposts with a stuffed octopus hanging on for dear life-kinds of things.  She’s a funny girl!

She grew up on a side of the road
Where the church bells ring and strong love grows
She grew up good
She grew up slow
Like American honey

Steady as a preacher
Free as a weed
Couldn’t wait to get goin’
But wasn’t quite ready to leave
So innocent, pure and sweet
American honey

There’s a wild, wild whisper
Blowin’ in the wind
Callin’ out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing’s sweeter than summertime
And American honey
