Aren’t they the cutest new family? I may be partial because they are my sister and brother-in-law, but really. They are headed off to Rhode Island for school at Brown University in a week, so we had a quick shoot at my favorite location (can you tell??) across the street. They hope to procure Emma Watson (Hermoine) who is also attending Brown University as a babysitter when they arrive. We’re going to miss them, especially that cute baby of theirs!
The Harding Family was in town visiting from New York and booked a family shoot with me. Angie is a good friend of my brother’s and we’ve known eachother since I was 19. She brought a picture of me from that time that was disturbing and I may have chucked it in the garbage. Bless their hearts, they had twins and then 18 months later, another little guy! Angie is pregnant with #4 and radiant. Their kids were darling and thoroughly enjoyed all the open space to run around. Thank for including me in your Utah trip Harding family!
Might as well keep up the family posts while I’m at it! While Geoff and my sister Laura’s husband went mountain biking, us girls kept the fort down. We all loved spending time with them, especially little Isla. It was so fun to have Laura here. She is so eager to help out in any way she can and over the years, she’s become a best friend and confidant. Love you Laura!
Some of you know him as Lucky or Virgil. I know him as Luke, my little brother. He’s kind and thoughtful to others, loves a good conversation, grows hair like it’s no one’s business, and is such a fun uncle. Love you Bookes.
Tomorrow one of my best friends leaves for three years. My brother Seth and his family are moving to Lusaka, Zambia. I am overwhelmed with sadness, but also with excitement for them and what the future holds. I will miss Seth’s contagious smile and shared sense of humor. I will miss Caroline’s inquisitive mind and sincerity. I will miss Tommy and his crazy antics, his cherubic face and seeing him pee just about anywhere. I will miss sweet baby Callie growing up from a baby to a toddler. Thank goodness for modern technology that will hopefully make the thousands of miles seem a little less daunting.
I love you Sherry Juniors, to Zambia and back.
Before you go thinking I’m popular or something, just know I was being used for my kitchen. That being said, I am stoked that my kitchen brought in the likes of the Food Nanny for a print ad shoot, taken by the AMAZING Diana from Yan Photography.
Can I just tell you how sweet and darling Liz, the Food Nanny, is? She is a whirlwind of energy and I loved every second with her, especially when she made me pose next to my chicken coop so she could take a picture with her phone. Hilarious. And then there was the lovely cJane. I think we were separated at birth and I want to hang out all the time because all we do together is laugh. She posted a real embarrassing story about me on her blog and if you’re visiting my website via her blog, welcome and come stay a while and don’t be alarmed that on occasion, I have been known to shimmy.
All in all, it was a crazy, fun filled day where I made some lovely new friends, and no one checked my kitchen cupboards to see if they were organized. Sorry Geoff, for making you help me vacuum them out just in case.
Kami from NoBiggie and Allison from Petit Elefant were there too!
I’ve had the pleasure of taking pictures of the downright stunning Hadlock family twice already and it’s always a treat. I’ve been dying to meet their newest little guy. Isn’t he handsome! I’m near begging them to have me take pictures of the kids again since combined with torrential downpours throughout our entire session and a sad little boy, we didn’t get as many pictures of the two kids together as we would have liked. Please??
Some days when things are crazy around here it feels real, real good to wake up to some kind words read on the internet. I’m beyond flattered.
