I was hired to take photographs for two different articles this month.

First, I photographed the lovely Mia as fashion editor Kat and stylist Evangeline worked to “shop your closet” with Mia’s wardrobe.
They were able to create several new outfits out of clothes she had in her closet already!

An added benefit for me, getting all of this knowledge first hand as we worked.

The second article was for an article celebrating a local treasure, Ragdale in Lake Forest, IL.

I was thrilled to visit here, as I had never even heard of it before.
Ragdale supports writers and artists in a retreat setting and makes the arts more accessible to the public. I was so excited to get to tour the facilities and learn more about it. I highly suggest you check them out as well!

As always, check out their iPad edition….they always throw extra pictures in there!

Last month you got to see my 10 favs from my trip back to Savannah. Before that, it was a day in the life of Miss Thing.

This month, with spring here I thought I would post 10 macros I took yesterday from my garden.
Hope you enjoy!

Oh, and don’t forget to check out Tallahassee, FL photographer Casey Yu and her 10 on 10!

Well, being the wanna be crafty mom, I decided to try this out with my own daughter.

Ahhhh, grand plans.

We started with trying to blow up the water balloons….which proved to be VERY difficult, so if you can find regular small balloons, get those instead.

Next, we wrapped the balloons with the flour/starch mixture and embroidery floss.
We tried everything to get it to not knot up…but to no avail.
But we managed it in the end
(with a few choice words from me)

Next the dreaded drying part….you know, the time where your child asks EVERY FIVE SECONDS

“are they dry yet?”
“are they dry yet?”
“are they dry yet?”
“are they dry yet?”

Even though we did them at night and told her they wouldn’t be dry until the morning.

But after much patience, and some serious excitement over popping the balloons the next morning, we had a cute little centerpiece.

I hope your family is enjoying this holiday season no matter how you celebrate!

Kesley with Photographers For contacted me a couple weeks ago, asking if I would be interested in being interviewed for her site about my work with Inspiration Through Art.

Well of course!
Photographers For aims to connect portrait and wedding photographers with the  photo centric, local charities who need their help. They also feature photographers who are creatively using their businesses and their skills for the benefit of others.

 Not only was I able to talk about my work with Inspiration Through Art, but also the work I have done with St. Baldrick’s Foundation and the Susan G. Komen for the cure.
