A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to shoot a good friend of mine. She is pregnant with twins! I posted a couple of her pics here but since I loved so many….I wanted to post more. She was full of fun and spirit and it came through in her photos. Ask me how much I love my job. Go on ask……..  I love it!

It has been non-stop hosting for us since Thanksgiving. Today, we finally had the day to ourselves. I spent the morning at a maternity shoot with one of my good friends. We have been dancing Flamenco together for years with Sol y Sombra and now she is pregnant with twins.  Here is a glimpse….

Doesn’t she looks fabulous?

Now, we are hanging around the house. Craig is busy in the yard and Ben is helping.  I’m tending to the cub and editing photos.  I ran outside to see what was going on and snapped this one of the Monsta. 

He is too much with making all these faces.  Who knows how I will get a nice shot for our holiday card.  That will take some skillz on my part for sure.

Spotted this lovely flower at the Arboretum this weekend.  I have never seen a tiger lily like this before.  Isn’t nature amazing?

Another shot from the twin shoot I did.  I’ve always loved the small details.

I’m shooting my good friend’s four year old tomorrow at the Arboretum.  I can’t wait because he just loves to smile and his lashes go on foreva!

Have a great weekend.

I had the pleasure of shooting my friend’s nieces yesterday.  It was a difficult task I must say being that it was my first time with two.  They were 15 days old and fussy.  I managed to get a few single shots but the together ones were…… really difficult.  I know for next time to get them in their first week of life.  They are pretty much ALWAYS sleeping and much easier to pose.  I had a blast though and can’t wait to see them in about 6 months to do another session.  Thanks Bea and Maritza!

We just had a wonderful holiday weekend and I hope you did too.  Craig took Thursday off so we had four days together.  We basically stayed home and played around in the pool.  I worked in the garden and Craig cleaned the garage.  We attended a beautiful wedding on the Fourth of July and had a great time.  Ben had spent the night at my inlaws, so we had Sunday to relax.  Now that the garage was clean, I spotted my pottery wheel.  I got inspired to sit down and throw.  It has been a year since I’ve stopped going to class and I miss it terribly.  It was rough at first because I have a kick-wheel and it took quite a bit of effort to get the wheel going the speed I wanted.  I’m 27 weeks now and my tummy was definitely in the way a bit.  I managed and enjoyed.  I wasn’t rushed so I decided to make a nice salad bowl.  You can never have too many of those.  It felt really good to get back into the clay and the process.  It is also nice having my own wheel because I can just leave my work on it till the next day.  A luxury you don’t have when you have to work at a studio.  I was really pleased with my bowl so I will share:

                                   It will stay as greenware (unfired) till I find the time to get back to the studio.  Who knows when that will ever be.  I already have an office full of stuff that needs to be fired, glazed and fired. 

I also mentioned that I spent a lot of time in the garden.  The bunnies are doing great.  The Mommy sits close by under our hydrangea now keeping her babies protected. 

                          I even spotted her nursing in the nest the other day.  Couldn’t get those pictures though – sorry.  We peeked at the babies and they are so much bigger now.  They have fur and their eyes open.  It is really amazing.

The garden has been doing great.  Things are just growing and growing, even the weeds.  I pulled about 50% of them but jeez, it is hard.  My pole beans are the BIG show right now.  I never planted them before and don’t even know how large they are supposed to get.  Does anyone know? 

                          It really has been a lovely Monday so far.  Ben has been sleeping since 2pm (4:30ish now), I was able to trim (finish off the bottom) of my bowl and reflect on the nice weekend.  Getting back to throwing is huge for me.  It makes me feel good.  I suggest you all find something that you have dropped and try it again.  It does wonderful things for the body and soul.

Congrats on being off for the summer and spending the first month of it in Spain.  What a treat for you. 

Love you – Min

Just changing some things around here.  I thought the new masthead (picture above) would be a nice switch for the summer.
