Me and foosball go way back. My love of foosball started in middle school. (Of course, we weren’t cool enough to call it middle school back then. It was just Jr. High.) I went to a summer camp at FIU for drama. There was a foosball table in the student area; my “crush” would play... Read More →

Tonight, Ryan loves mix-matched jammies! And sliding on the floor, making his socks dirty. And his new bracelet from Tyler Thompson. And smothering his dog, while his dog bites my hand.   Okay, he loves these things every night, but the bracelet is new. Thanks, Tyler!! He loves it! (And don’t tell Daddy that Ryan... Read More →

I absolutely LOVE watching people do “the thing” they are passionate about, so I was thrilled to be invited to take photos for my boss (and friend). Sarah turned her CD release party into a fundraiser for Miami’s homeless – Vocals for Locals at the Luna Star Cafe in North Miami, Florida. How awesome is... Read More →

We spent a good chunk of today over at the neighbors for their middle girl’s 5th birthday party. Can’t believe she’s FIVE. V. We’ve known her the longest. She’s Isabel’s buddy! N. Could she be cuter? No she could NOT. This one loves Midnight (our dog) the best! And the birthday girl. S. Too sweet!... Read More →

I bet you were wondering what happened to Sunday! Well, we took it easy Sunday, which we like to do. Got our homework done. Went to our usual lunch hotspot (Quizno’s). Then, I decided I wanted to try something out. See, a while back I had a phone consulting session with my favorite photography teacher,... Read More →

Once school starts up, our weekends tend to get pretty hectic. Between Girl Scout events, birthday parties and play dates, it is non-stop. Last year, we decided that Isabel would start dance classes on the first Saturday when she didn’t have anything planned. That Saturday NEVER came. So, while this weekend was crazy, that was...

Photography practice sessions and strolls in the neighborhood. These are things we can’t do on a weeknight. Not anymore. Especially not the night before a presentation is due. And the night a homework agenda was left blank. But we did them anyway. Because life is too short not to enjoy every moment. (Well, that’s my excuse.)... Read More →

I’m taking Karen Russell’s online class, The Photographer’s Workshop, again – because I loved it so much the first time (and learned so much)! This week is on composition, so I thought I’d take the kids to the playground – because where better to practice composition? Really. Anyway, I wrote this up for the practice... Read More →

On Saturday afternoon, we got some great Aussie books from my long distance cousin. Thank you, Tanya! The kids couldn’t wait to read them, so they parked on the front step before we headed to Quizno’s. We usually go to Quizno’s once a weekend. Always the same one – Bird Road off of 72nd Avenue....

See more shots here. I went to lunch today with some dear friends (and a decent acquaintance). Well, there was no parking at Chipotle, of course, so Amber and I parked at Party City and felt obliged to shop in return for the parking. Not needing any party supplies, I remembered an idea I had.... Read More →

I have been told that I should post pictures of my own self, instead of posting pictures of other non-consenting adults. Alright. Challenge Accepted. I’ll be honest. I don’t love how I look, but I’m happy to have captured myself with my kids. And I’m more motivated than ever to go jogging, injury and all..... Read More →

Every once in a while, we are blessed with visitors from the North. My sister and her two kids, came for a long weekend in early August, and, as usual, we made it a point to get the kids together as often as possible. The girls are playing really well together, so they got to... Read More →
