I am changing how we celebrate Hanukkah.

Pretty audacious, right? well, i am tired of tiptoeing around what is right & wrong with how to celebrate Hanukkah. i grew up in Vermont with two parents, my father is Jewish & my mother converted. We grew up celebrating both Christmas & Hanukkah. we got a Christmas tree. perhaps a day or two before Christmas….

looking for your dog

Your dog in concrete, may be found at Myer’s Plants & Pottery. They had about 15 different breeds. I looked for Husky or my mutt…i photographed him because he would be a mix of my two dogs together. if you found your dog, it would be highly trainable to “Stay” and hold the door open…

boys will be boys

and girls will be girls. how different we truly are. how we ever find anyone who loves us back, like we love them is quite astonishing, really.

elephant ear pumpkins

Myer’s Plant & Pottery painted the elephant ears for the holidays. I thought they were great. the white fluffy stuff is what cotton looks like before it is picked. we have fields of it in Alabama…mostly in the southern parts.

every which way i turned

i found something i wanted. i wanted all three of these wine crates/boxes. I am going back tomorrow, maybe i will get them. if i don’t, i will regret it.

she doesn’t know how beautiful she is

which is why she feels limited at 25, usually the speed of youth flies by. Oy, that was a bit hard to come up with. Myer’s Plants & Pottery…i wish i had bought her too.

my last family shoot i did was…

difficult. one girl wouldn’t smile, the other wouldn’t stop acting like Madonna Vogue-ing. the parents wouldn’t put the poor dog down, so i couldn’t photograph the father. The mother refused outright to look at me. this was the drama queen. they paid well though. but if they call me next October, i’ll say i’m booked…
