when east meets south
Yesterday marked nine months since we met Clementine. We didn’t celebrate with a cake or a photo session. Our girl is still deep in the recovery stages of open heart and slide tracheoplasy surgery. I’ve shared a lot of the last few weeks on Instagram and I’m not sure yet if I’ll sit down and blog about it because it… Read More
I started going through these and sharing my favorites when we’d been home with Clementine about six months. Now we’ve been home eight, but I’m not quitting. I think I can, I think I can… Getting ready to take our girl in for a major surgery is getting me a little weepy. And nostalgic. And just plain sappy. Love looking… Read More
Continuing to peck away at all my pictures from our trip to China for Clementine. It’s getting harder and harder to pick favorites – so instead of being pickier, I’m plucking out more and more. But it’s for a good reason. Once I have them all edited and organized, they’ll be saved here. I’ll also have them them made into… Read More
(continuing on with posting my favorites from China – you can see the first post here.) It was six months ago, yesterday, that we were standing right here. In fact, it was on the Great Wall that we got a phone call with the news that Clementine would be well enough for us to meet her the next day. It… Read More
I know. We’ve been home with Clementine for almost 6 months. But when we traveled to China, I brought along my camera. And I brought along my iPad. But I didn’t bring along my PS6. That was here at home. On a desktop that most definitely wasn’t going to make the trip. And since we returned, I’ve been wanting to… Read More
It’s become a bit of a thing around here, I suppose: going through my pictures at the end of the year and plucking out a few favorites. It’s laborious. It’s time consuming. But I love it because it’s a chance to look back at the year, as a mama, and see how my babies have grown. Cherish important milestones. Remember… Read More
In July, on a challenge from my friend Lisa, I dusted off my Instagram account. And it’s been true love ever since. I was a bit wobbly starting out, not quite sure how to pick and choose what to post. But I’ve since decided to pursue pictures that very much represent *real-life* to me… the things that intrigue me, inspire… Read More
It’s been too long since I’ve taken my biggest girl out for a photo shoot. Like almost a year, y’all. Thankfully, she’s not too old to bribe, and the offer of a free lunch was enough to get her to commit to being my muse for the afternoon. Of course I could have just asked and she *might* have agreed,… Read More
Been loving my summer photography class. As always, Lisa is pushing all of us way out of our comfy-cozy-safe-place. Where – if it were up to us – some of us would stay. *ahem* And, I have to say, it has been so. much. fun. One of our assignments was to photographically interpret Mystical, Magical, Fantastical. And this was my… Read More
Sooo, I mentioned having to get “into the frame” for my photography class. Not my favorite place to be. But once we were out there, with Poppy perched on my lap, it wasn’t so bad. Okay. It was a lot of fun. Especially laughing at all the silly things Sophie and Vivienne were doing to try to make Poppy smile…. Read More
