Milestones


It has been a couple of months full of milestones.

My youngest is graduating high school, while my oldest is in London on a two month internship.

I exhibited in my first art show in May and currently am exhibiting pieces in two others at the same time.  I even sold my first piece!  Squeeee!


Four years ago if someone had told me that I would have pieces displayed in a fine art show, my photography would win first place in competitions, be featured on a television program and on a famous blogger's website not once but TWICE, I would have told them they were crazy. 

And yet, pinch me, ouch! I'm not dreaming; it really did happen in the past year.


My son's senior prom was held last night.  It stormed and rained more than we've had in months!  The weather had them running late so I had very little time to snap their photos and because of the weather I had to set up my studio lights and backdrop in the limited space in my living room.  I'm pretty happy with the results though.  I think they both look terrific, despite the raging storm they ran through to get inside the house.




Here's hoping the weather will be more cooperative for the graduation ceremony next week!  Fingers, toes and eyeballs crossed...

  30. If you disregarded the Ugg guidelines and wore your boots
    in water, otherwise you dropped liquid on your own boot,
    you may have stains along your boots. When it comes to essentially the most
    styling infant, dress your son or daughter in uggs.
    The unique qualities from the sheepskin mean that they will
    keep your feet warm in the coldest of weather, but if you use
    them in summer they will not overheat your foot.
