Instagrams: March

March started in warm sunny St. Lucia for us and ended with snow here in PA. Somewhere in between Spring officially arrived, but we are still waiting for the warmer today to go on walks without a hat and gloves. Pitons, photo shoot with Lyndon heath Cabinetry, celebrating spring with Rita’s. building snowmen, Easter egg hunt, ballet ends, soccer begins and learning to read continues for Myla. Here is to April and hopes of feeling like spring.

I spent a hour sitting on the couch with a fire enjoying a book one Friday afternoon. I should do that more often.

March 25…snow!!!

 

Easter Egg Hunt…Yes a helicopter dropped eggs onto the field!

a day in Baltimore photographing Cashmere Interiors.

Officially half way through the 100 lessons of learning how to read. It is amazing to watch her learn!painting eggs with a good friend!

Love the ballet pictures and an hour of reading, ahhh. I need to do that a bit more too. Looks like you’re catching up on Kinfolk. My favorite photographic inspiration these days! :)

Three of Twelve

With a little negotiation I was granted one more attempt get our family picture and the wind blew.

This bunny’s ears just did not want to stay up. I found the tutorial to make it here.and then it was Myla’s turn behind the camera and my turn to listen…and I always love her shots!

I think it’s wonderful that you are capturing your family each family. I love reading these :)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

“He is not here, for HE has RISEN, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.”

Matthew 28:5-6

Lyndon Heath Cabinetry: Annapolis Kitchen

This new construction home was built on the water of the Chesapeake Bay. Lyndon Heath Cabinetry was part of the design team of creating and building the kitchen. I had the honor to photograph this home back in January with Lyndon. I love going to the homes and seeing his cabinetry in the finished space being used and loved by the homeowners.  As soon as I walked into this bright and light kitchen I wanted to import it into my home. The family who lives here is warm, friendly, and one who loves to entertain. Part of the design process includes developing a trusting relationship with the homeowner  as the team walks through the design process. Lyndon commended this homeowner with her involvement in the design process of sharing the details she desired to have in their kitchen and her trust in the team in making adjustments. Lyndon creates and designs his cabinetry in a 3-D program that allows his clients to see the whole cabinets and better visualize their new space. The kitchen was then installed by Lyndon Heath Cabinetry according to his blueprints. This white kitchen is classic and timeless and designed around their love to entertain family and friends. Warning: You too might want to import this kitchen into your home! ENJOY!!!

A white farm house sink that looks out to the water and allows warm light to flood the kitchen.

A great island was created as well as a breakfast nook for the family.

Another view of the kitchen, standing from the kitchen sink.

A drawer to organize your spices.

I love hidden appliances and added outlets in the cabinets that hide cords too.

A water spigot above the stove makes cooking simpler.

Outlet stripes under the cabinets are useful.

A large butcher block counter-top sits on top of the island.

I have kitchen envy! Gorgeous photos, GORGEOUS kitchen!! That sink would be the pride & joy of my kitchen 😉

ten things

I decided to share another ten things about me. Here we go! Happy Friday Monday!!

1.  I was a vegetarian from 8th grade, which got me out of dissecting a pig in high school Science class. I was a vegetarian until I was a sophomore in college. Now I love a good burger with bacon and cheese.

2. Growing up my family would camp in the Shenandoah Valley. I grew up enjoying camping.  Now that I am older it is a must to bring my own pillow and ear plugs to sleep in a tent. I hope to take Myla camping this year.

3. I can not count the times that I have watched and re-watched Pride and Prejudice. It’s a favorite movie and I love the banter between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. It makes me fall in love with my husband all over again which is the best part.

4. I organize my silverware in my dishwasher. No joke. Forks have a spot and its different then the spoons. It makes unloading easy, no sorting necessary.

5. I can not sing. Not even carry a tune let alone stay on key.  When Myla was born I learned one song to sing to her. I use to have to look at the words written down to get through the four simple lines. Thankfully Myla still likes me singing her this song before bed, though I do not know how much longer it will be this way.

6. My preferred dress: jeans, t-shirt and bare-feet.

7. I have learned recently that this one trait of mine does not only belong to me but my mother and her mother. I collect or I should say hold onto paper bags and boxes. Part of it I like to think that I am helping the environment by recycle and reusing bags or boxes, but there is no reason to have enough for two full shelves in the closet. This winter I purged and now only have several boxes and only one drawer in the kitchen for bags.

8. I recently got bangs. I still like them even after my mother sent me a picture of the same haircut when I was five!

9. On my wedding day I went bare foot.

10. I absolutely LOVE that my husband works with his hands and has the ability and skill to create. He does amazing work. He is amazing. And today I am hanging out with him photographing editing his work!
