Not really a sneak peak….. June 3, 2008
Here are some shots from a session we did back in April. Very energetic kids and they were willing to do anything! FUN!!!! I love chasing kids around with my camera - it’s the best job in the world!
Crazy days…..and magazines! May 27, 2008
Yep…I know. I’ve been ignoring this blog in a BIG WAY! I have so many backlogged photos to edit that I dream about photoshop eating me alive……
SO much has been going on with Wonder Blink, but I’ll start where I left off: Two magazines with our photos in them have just come out. Check out Monadnock Living, where I did a portrait session with Chris Danforth, an environmental consultant. He is such a nice guy and we had a blast tromping through the woods with his dogs. He and his wife also booked a session with their 4 kids for later this month, so look out for a sneak peak!
ALSO…we were asked to shoot the cover for Parenting NH! The issue just came out. We had so much fun with adorable 3-year-old Colby, who is definitely a model in the making. He was so agreeable and game for all of our silly suggestions….a HUGE thank you to Lindsay, the editor of Parenting (who ROCKS), and has asked us to continue to shoot their covers!!! We’re so excited about this opportunity.
Here are some shots from Colby’s session:
Isn’t he SO so so so cute??
Be back soon with details from Breast Cancer walk that we did and our Portrait Party fund raiser!!!!
Spring Break in Provincetown, MA May 4, 2008
Just spent our break in P-town with the kids. Two days of rain…2 days of sun. It was exhausting but fun - the beaches are amazing and the lobster bisque to die for……
Abe freezing on a rainy day when we FORCED them to the beach!
Gus in the dunes.
A classic example of why I LOATHE posed pictures.
Wave watching….
Gus and Daddy playing sand games.
Steve insisted that I get out from behind the camera……..

Had a photo shoot the day we got back - a sneak peek will be up soon!!!!!!
Mama’s got a new pair of shoes….. April 24, 2008
Yep - red Mary Janes…and they look soooooo cute on me! I am not bragging. You must understand that my cross to bear is life is HUGE feet. I was teased as a child, called Bigfoot, the whole works. But I rose above it as an adult and made peace with my size 10 and a half feet. I could still find cute shoes in size 10.5 or 11. THEN I had 3 kids and it’s TRUE that your feet grow half a size with each child.
SO now, I wear a size 12 women’s and the only shoes I can find in my size and price range are nursing loafers or disgusting men’s sneakers.
My solution is European shoes. They make really great shoes, in bigger sizes..and they cost a fortune!! No joke - those adorable Mary Janes set me back over $100. But I don’t care…I may have the feet of an Amazon woman, but my shoes are cute!!!!!!!!
Musings…. April 12, 2008
Me: What color should we paint the new playroom? I’m thinking lime green and chocolate brown.
Abe: Mama….I’d be delighted if we painted it purple.
My sweet middle boy. He is my heart and soul, my challenge, my love. He is such a boy’s boy. Yet on Sunday, he took his doll Superstar to church, dressed in a baby blue fairy costume. I love him so much, my heart aches…………………..
SPRING! Have you finally arrived?? April 11, 2008
It finally warmed up a bit last weekend and we took a very long walk with the kids and my gorgeous nieces and nephews. It was so fun to take photos outside and not have to dodge the rain or freeze my tail off!
I am so excited about our Wonder Blink schedule this spring and summer and were are booking up pretty quickly!
Here are a whole slew of shots from our walk:
These cousins LOVE each other so much - we are truly lucky that they are so close.
Isn’t she beautiful? Claire will one day be a performer or on stage in some capacity…mark my words!
Love my dad….love my gummyworm.
Writing in the sand…
Miss Sassy Pants
Jake….or one of the Beatles???
Can’t help but be proud of my little girl….. March 29, 2008
My little girl is getting some recognition for doing her own thing….I wrote a blog post a few months ago about her collage work and Marty Weil, is a blogger, writer, and ephemera researcher, contacted me to see if he could write about her and her art on his blog, Ephemera: Exploring the World of Old Paper.
Check out his post about Isabel here - examples of her collages are below (his post links back to them.)
“Serendipity” (This was the one Weil spotted here earlier)
Vintage Valentine Collage
Hard at work!!
Some of the ephemera she uses…
“In Johnny Crow’s Garden”
Man, do I love that kid……. 
I’m Baaaaaack…….and we have new hats!! March 15, 2008
Wonder Blink set up at a fantastic event last weekend in Milford NH. It was held at the Souhegan Valley Boys and Girls Club - an event that was all about women called Diva Day. Every vendor offered something great for women, from cosmetics and kid stuff, to health care and clothing. We met so many wonderful women in the community who were interested in having portraits of their family OR wanted to advertise our photos in their places of business!
Anyway, I also spent some money..and bought these GREAT new hats for my kids!! Gus’s was hand knit by Nadia. Check out her great stuff!!
Don’t you just want to EAT THEM UP????
In other news…I am honored to have just done a portrait shoot for the fabulous magazine Monadnock Living. This magazine ROCKS and I had such fun on the photo shoot……more later with sample shots! Goodnight for now..my lovely mother is visiting from MN and is giving Steve and I a night away tomorrow….I have to rest up so that I can wake up and micromanage my house and kids before we leave…………
