Happy 38 years and pure food bliss!!!

I had a blast tonight! I celebrated my 38th birthday with one of my very dearest friends. We had a 4 course meal at Woodberry Kitchen. I think I died and went straight to food heaven! The meal was 100% organic with absolutely everything made "in house" or at a local farm. Food actually tasted like food and melted in my mouth. If you are ever in Baltimore and you want to taste real food and not cardboard, look me up and I'll get us some reservations for Woodberry Kitchen. So, after mentioning to the waitress that it was my birthday, she presented me with a free sundae and this plate of homemade organic fudge. Even the chocolate was written with organic, homemade chocolate.
Needless to say, 37 was amazing, but 38 so far has been FABULOUS!  xo

Baby it's cold outside!

Today felt like a winter blast. This is the first day that I felt like going home and wrapping myself up in a blanket and drinking tea with crumpets.

Fairy Apple Orchard

I've been working on my ongoing fine art book. Here is a little sneak peak of one of the pieces from the book. I'm making a "hopeful" release date of Summer 2012...or maybe Fall 2012... but we'll see where this year takes me.  Happy over the hump day!

Sweet Pea

Wishing you a sweet weekend.

Love at sunrise!

I've been totally MIA for a bit. But quite busy! There have been several engagements as well as several little ones on the scene. So I apologize for the lack of communication.

 In the meantime, here is a quick look at the latest engagement session from our Nation's captial-- Washington, D.C. I had such a blast photographing this couple. I learned that D.C. at sunrise, on a Saturday morning, is quite beautiful!

Apples, Apples Everywhere!

So we took the children apple picking today with friends, to kick off the FALL holiday season. We went to Baughers Farm. They have the best apple orchards. The farmer takes the apple pickers on a tractor ride to the orchards where you are given a peck (really a bag) to pick and you are off on your own. It was nice- the serenity of the orchards (and the buzzing of the bees- yikes). The smell of the sweet apples is intoxicating. I absolutely LOVE the FALL season, not just for the colors, but for the treats. Last night I had my first attempt at homemade candied and caramel apples--- respectively. They were ohhh sooo goey and delicious. It takes me back to my childhood when my mother used to make homemade apple treats for me and my brother. Tonight I will attempt a homemade apple pie. Yes-- with some delicious vanilla ice cream on top. Wish me luck. I've never been much of a kitchen diva....Just a diva in general (well, for those of you  that know me-- just a diva against all things bugs, messy, dirt etc.) But I think this was a successful farm visit with friends. Till next time-- enjoy.

Luckily my children were not towed!  :-)
