Dani and My Billy

I was commissioned to paint a precious girl and her wonderful uncle. It is always such an honor to capture a special moment in time. I'm reminded of the photography my mom did throughout my childhood. The slogan for her business was "Memorable moments make meaningful keepsakes". I think that pretty much sums it up.

My Heart Swells

I took my beautiful sister-in-law and my amazing niece and nephew to the airport today. Sniff...sniff....

As we drove my sister-in-law asked them what the high and low points of the trip were.


High point for my amazing nephew: "Playing with everyone."

Low point: "I don't think there was a low point."


High point for my amazing niece: "The ornament making party."

Low point: "Right now."


My heart swells with love and affection for them...till this summer, my sweets.

With Color

I'm so, so used to being around boys.  My kids are boys.  My husband...a boy.  And it seems, though I haven't actually been collecting data beyond what I see in the laundry (a sea of tan, gray, blue, and black T-shirts and pants), that the color pallet that comes with all these boys is a bit narrow given all the choices that are out there.  So this lovely and amazing time I'm getting to spend with my fabulous niece is rounding out the spectrum for me...in a spectacular and sparkly way!  My computer bag is now covered with the sweetest little colorful stickers - chickens, rainbows, and unicorns among them.  The room where I'm sleeping houses the brightest pink Barbie dollhouse and yacht ever.  And her gymnastic outfits are sparkly beyond compare.

And on top of being colorful, sparkly, and full of fun and whimsy, this terrific girl is one of the most amazing athletes I've ever known. 

Strong, creative, brilliant, passionate, and kind...this girl rocks!
