So I had an idea (probably not original) of doing still life photographing of objects that are part of my daily life. My husband has taken my daughter to a birthday party (side note. Can we agree that requiring a parent to stay at a 3rd grade party is just lame) and I'm washing her … Continue reading Still Lifes

Mommy Daughter Date
Today Angelica and I hung out. I took her to the fabric store with me, and we bought a ton of fabric. I let her get a yard of any fabric she chose, as well as a quarter. I got a bunch of rainbow fabrics to use as photo backdrops. Then I surprised her with … Continue reading Mommy Daughter Date
