. . .’tis the season. Fun night photographing my beautiful niece going to prom…

 

This is one of my all time favorite series of  images for The Mom Project. Things started off simple enough, until their dog had to get into the act.  After all…he is part of the family.  Just love it.

 

… or Crush.  The name has not been officially determined. He was found on the tennis courts yesterday and miraculously survived the night. We’ve got a call into Wildlife In Crisis – a wonderful non-profit organization in Weston – for help on feeding and releasing him.  Although, now that he’s been named there’s going to be a good debate over dinner tonight, I’m sure,  about keeping him.

What is with these grey skies and drizzly days?  It’s amazing how the weather can make you want to crawl into bed and read a good book until the sun comes out. So instead of working in the garden, I”ve been sitting at my desk and going through images form our last trip to California.  I love this one of Stina with her pink board. Times have changed.  I don’t recall  pink surfboards. Then again, I never did figure out surfing. My kid is clearly so much cooler than I ever was… no surprise there.

We moved my parents three years ago this month out of there home of 53 years and in the process, found amazing things. One of which was a collection of my mother’s hats from the early 50′s all still carefully packed in their original hatboxes. They’re beautiful. Stina’s been a good sport,  letting me photograph her in them…although we’ve run out of patience and now it’s Jake’s turn.
