some little packages going out in the mail tomorrow.



And now, laundry’s calling my name.
Have a great monday everyone.

About me.
I'm always keeping busy with something or another. I have 3 little kiddos (and a hubby) who are the center of my world! We're working on our dream home (a century old farmhouse) in the country and loving every minute. You'll find my blog full of house stuff, kid stuff, work stuff and more. When I'm not busy being a domestic godess (ha) I'm taking photos, scrapbooking, at the Shoppe or crafting!
About my photography.
Capturing real life. Fresh. Contemporary.
I love capturing the little moments and the interactions between families. Those little moments that all too quickly fade away. Silly and goofy or serious. Whatever you are. The little details that are unique to every family… especially yours.
Families are important to me. Yours and mine. For that reason I am offering a limited number of sessions per month, including families, children, newborns and maternity.
I am a natural light photographer and will come to you or the location of our choosing.
I specialize in family and child photography.
Session fee $50.
Feel free to contact me for more details and pricing.
About Red Star Studio.
I've always created. It's in my blood (4 generations of art at least). I've always doodled and drawn. I even went to craft shows with my wooden painted crafts! It's always been something. I love creating scrapbook pages (which combine my love of photography and my family with my obsession for pretty papers) and mini books. I've been creating scrapbooking kits for My Scrap Shoppe for a few years now and it's as fun now as it was then! Lately I've been enjoying embroidery, sewing and bookbinding!
I dubbed my little factory Red Star Studio. We'll be adding a section at the shoppe to highlight local artisans this winter and I'm busily working on projects to fill that space! So much fun!
Look for bound books, embroidery patterns, sewn and felt goodies from me soon!
Shop Red Star Studio here.
About My Scrap Shoppe.
You can learn more about My Scrap Shoppe here. I'm usually at the shoppe 2-3 days per week (less in the summer when my kids are out of school and photography takes up a lot of my time).

Have a great monday everyone.

…with Stuart Smalley.
feeling blessed today. for no special reason. sometimes it just hits you.
things are good.
i have more than you could ever need, even though most days i feel i don’t have enough… you know?
“new” doesn’t mean “better”.
live simply. without excess.
i love my home. it needs to be finished, but i still love it! it has a personality. it tells a story.
“an artist’s home is never finished” – thanks for that one Cher.
“patience is a virtue”… “all good things come to those who wait”.
i have great kids. they are my world.
my hubby works harder than anyone i know (and is sooo under appreciated).
as you can see… i’m totally loving the random lately. maybe i’m missing twitter? ha.
(and my layout from last week)…

and some detail.


i love her, but my goodness…. is she going to have a rude awakening when she’s grown and out in the real world!
stuff to do. later all.

1. i tried to bake some cookies today, but realized half-way through that i was out of eggs. i hate that.
2. saw my lovely sister yesterday. she totally rocks.
proof?
here.
3. there’s a lovely thread on the MSS boards right now about celebrity crushes.
has made me smile all day.
4. our online crop is this weekend. good times.
5. new kits and a-layout-a-week post happening tomorrow (i got crazy glare when I was trying to take the pic today)… so I’ll try to take the picture tomorrow.
6. i got a bunch of CHA orders done today. still waiting on October Afternoon, American Crafts and Pink Paislee.
7. j man lost another tooth last night.
8. lovin’ my mocs. wearing them 24/7 (pretty much except when I’m sleeping).
9. i successfully took a picture everyday for january! woo hoo! can’t wait to shot outdoors again though.
10. i’m going to try to do this… except of course that mine would be called 5 people 12 times.
11. i asked Molly what I should write for my last random and she said, “I love my daughter”. (and now she’s freaking out and embarassed!)

I listed some new stuff in my etsy shop yesterday (you can also find them here).
This one is already gone, but I’ll try to get some more up soon.

I also added these two…


Hoping to work on some more “lovely” things this weekend!

I’m trying to catch up on all my editing before our holidays (and spring clean the house… but that’s a whole other story). I’ve been plugging away this morning and I’m coming across pictures I wanted to share but never got around to. so, today, some pictures that just made my heart swell!
the boys and their kitties.

this kitty… Colt (named after Colt Seavers “Fall Guy”) has since run away ![]()

i’m digging all white lately.

my monkey.

little sam.


weird cats. this is Flower 2 and Dave. they’ve always been like this. even when they sleep. Flower 2 just hanging out and Dave with his front paws over his back. always! so bizarre.

and this is how these two play DS. the people version of Flower 2 and Dave! one plays and the other scrunches in to watch.

my “brothuh-from-anothuh-mothuh”. love him. we had a little session right before the holidays with him and his girls. I think this is my favorite from the shoot.

a sick day. I’ve talked about his lips before. seriously. they kill me.

so, there you go. some random bits from september 09 until mid-december. I’m on my way.
have a great weekend everyone.
