Hello, Love...

...so happy we finally found each other! A recent visit to Allegan Antique Market yielded this lovely cabinet.

A Fine Foto Frenzy

Whew, it's been awhile hasn't it? A few posts coming up starting with the latest sibling shoot.

3 kids, 3 and under = ENERGY! Lil' L was a doll, of course. At 10 weeks she was just being her sweet-self as we snapped away. Then...the brothers...whoa! What a fun challenge they were. The pic below pretty much sums up our time with Mister T and Mister L. All in all, a sweet family, a great shoot and a happy momma. What more could we ask for?

Sweet Granita!

Last Fall, I picked up a Domino magazine to keep me occupied during our flight to Mexico. I flagged a recipe that looked delish and then forgot about it. I ran across it this week and...YUM! Hubby likes it too, which means it's a keeper.

Blackberry Granita
2 pints blackberries
2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1 lemon

Wash blackberries and puree in blender. Strain into larger bowl, discarding the seeds. In a small sauce pan heat 1 cup of water and the sugar until dissolved, and add to puree. Then add the juice of one lemon to the puree. Lastly, add 1 cup of cold water and stir. Transfer mixture to a shallow glass pan and place in freezer. Stir every 20-30 minutes with a fork until the mix freezes (about 2 hours). Spoon over ice cream. Serves 6-8.

Two New Tees

Been an little pre-occupied with a mini home improvement project, but managed to find some time to create two new tee's! Behold "Sweet Cherries" and "George the Giraffe". The Cherry tee is now with Timber's momma, and George has made his way to my darling nephew. Now, back to paint touch-ups, spray painting and picture hanging!

Simply Silly Sibling Snaps

Get these two going and you'll be laughing as hard as we were! Miss S is so charming and extremely photogenic, and Mister C is the most expressive little boy I've encountered (he wants to be a movie director, ya know). We had lots of fun modeling vintage hats, tossing balloons and experiencing the classic sibling tackle-fest. Thank you Mister C and Miss S for a delightful Saturday morning.

The Birdy's have landed...

...on onesie's! I was so pleased with how these turned out that I promptly gave them away. Gifts for co-workers each expecting girls. One is adopting with delivery any day now, and the other has a cute lil' belly and will be a new momma in October. Congratulations, ladies!

Dance, Dance, Woof!

A week of fun photo-ops comes to a close featuring a little dancer and a big (and I mean BIG) doggie.

First we have lil' P all dolled up for a big night at her dance recital. She and her tap shoes cut-a-rug to "A Bushel and a Peck," a song that is now firmly planted in my brain.



Then it was off to a soire with our heaviest subject yet, the 97 lb gentle giant, Timber. He was fabulous! He sure was pooped by the end though, you could read it in his eyes and it went something like this: "Seriously, 260 shots? Can we please be done?"
