Being the coolest mom in the universe is hard work. I’m not afraid to get down on the floor and play Super Princess Puppy Fun Time, or to pick pieces of play-dough out of every corner of the dining room after a two hour session of the Fuzzy Barber Shop Diaries.
But I don’t do worms. […]
My hoop practice yesterday was interrupted by a junior hooper who just loves the camera. If only I had the kind of perseverance that she does when it comes to dropping the hoop and picking it up time and time again. She could have kept on going for hours!

I shot this as another homework assignment on color - and now that I look at it, I realize that the giant Jamie Oliver cookbook that I bought just for this shot, is still sitting unread in that backseat of my car. Oops!
Recently, I had to shoot an assignment for a class that involved the use of the word “sloppy” in conjunction with an emotion. After getting over the injustice of being given such an incredibly hard adjective to work with (others got “flirty” and “sassy” - but it was a random draw and I got […]
