Thanks for stopping by!

I love to celebrate beautiful things!   My interests include anything crafty, colorful and fun!  I love to travel, cook, craft, design, create, entertain, decorate, sew..and the list goes on.  Stunning images inspire me and I hope I can share a few things here that will inspire you too!

I have always loved photographs.  My grandma has always taken a million pictures and it inspired me from a young age.  With my first 110 camera I captured fun memories of family vacations and everyday activities.  Since having kids my focus has turned to the art of the portrait.  In my eyes the "perfect" portrait doesn't mean a creaseless shirt and stiff poses, but instead a twinkle in the eye and a glimpse into the soul. 

My specialty is children.  I love to capture them in their natural element.  I want to capture who your child is at this moment.  The little noses, funny smiles and dirt covered faces that make them the person that they are right now. 

My approach is VERY relaxed...very "photo journalistic."  I'm not a girl that likes to pose.  My idea of a perfect shoot is to meet you somewhere fun and let your kids play and be themselves while I fade into the background.  I believe it's those moments that you truly want to remember.   Anyone can take a picture.  I want to capture a moment and tell a story.  

I'd LOVE to come play with your little ones.  Think of a place where they are happiest.  Disneyland? Chuck E Cheese?  Krispy Kreme?  Think outside the box.  Let's get together and let them explore, get dirty and have some fun!  Those WILL be your cherished memories!   

Eat This: Recipe for the BEST Chicken Tortilla Soup

Thursday, January 28, 2010 Posted in Eat This, Recipes, The Details, Uncategorized

I have long professed my love for the site allrecipes.com.  If you love to cook like I do then this will quickly become one of your favorites too.  Everything under the sun is found there and with TONS of ratings…so you can really get  feel for whether or not you are going to like something before you make it.  I found this recipe a while back and we LOVE it.  With all this cold weather and rain I LOVE to make some homemade soup.

Recipe:

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (I use a costco rotissere chicken..cheap, ymmu and WAY faster!!)
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup chunky salsa (i use pace medium)
  • 8 ounces corn tortilla chips
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • My additions: sliced avocado and sour cream on top

    •  

    Directions

    1. In a large pot over medium heat, saute the chicken in the oil for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin and mix well. Then add the broth, corn, onion, chili powder, lemon juice and salsa. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes.
    2. Break up some tortilla chips into individual bowls and pour soup over chips. Top with the Monterey Jack cheese.

    I serve mine with quesadillas too.  A little twist on the tomato soup and grilled cheese. :)   The kids gobble this stuff up!
