Red Riding Hood

What joy to have my daughter home for a few short days before she flew out for Cairo.

I have been waiting for months for her return so that I could have her model this skirt. It's the same one I shared in a previous post.

You will notice, by the editing of the photo, the image of the skirt appears to be a faded pink or magenta. 

In reality, it is a a beautiful scarlet color.

I love RED and knew it would look fabulous on her. 

Though it's a skirt she was being a bit playful and brought it up onto the top of her head. 

Immediately we both said "Red Riding Hood" and went with the flow. 

Wishes for a Happy Mother's Day

I snapped this picture the other day to show my niece that, as promised, I proudly placed her drawing front and center on my frig. 

I know that someone coming into my home for the first time might think that my refrigerator is a horrible sight. But each day it makes me smile for it is covered with fun and happy memories of my children, nieces, and nephews. Best of all, lots of L❤ve!

Wishing all Mother's out there a Happy Mother's Day!

Own It!

Sailing

Love the water and have always wanted to learn, so we went ahead and finally did it.

We took our first sailing classes this last weekend. 

What an amazing, scary, and exhilarating experience!!!

Went all the way to Annapolis to do so and loved it.

Didn't spend a lot of time walking or touring the city and didn't get many pictures but

what I did get will make me remember it fondly for a lifetime.

Evening on the waterfront at Annapolis, Maryland.

Severn River. 

Looks relatively calm here in this image but earlier it was pretty windy.

See those radio towers???? We were way down there across from them on the right of the photo. The school is 1 mile across the river opposite the coast they stand on. 

Temperatures were in the 50's and water temp was 40'ish maybe...

Winds were at 18 knots with gusts of 22 knots on Sunday. So it was a tad chilly especially when getting wet.  

Main street at sunset. Love the glow. 

Can't wait to go back.

I am LOVING what I do!

To work with and capture the beauty of women is such an amazing feeling.

I had the fabulous opportunity to have a session with a dear friend this last Saturday. 

I cannot believe that time has gone by so quickly.....

We've known each other and have been friends since 6th grade. 

And she is still as beautiful as ever!

Here's a shot of the before and after.
