Gingerbread cookiesDecember 23, 2007
I’ve taken some time off this month to enjoy the holidays with Mike and my parents. What have I been doing with my free time? Baking! I’ve made peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, banana bread, peppermint bark, and sugar cookies, but my favorite project has been a batch of gingerbread cookies. I’d never made gingerbread before, so it was fun to learn how to do it. For some reason I’m surprised that they actually taste good! I had so much fun decorating the cookies with my dad and Mike yesterday. My mom took photos of the whole process.

Leigh and Todd: Anniversary portraits at the BroadmoorDecember 22, 2007
What a way to spend an anniversary! Leigh and Todd flew from their home in Hawaii to celebrate their first anniversary in winter wonderland. The Broadmoor is a beautiful hotel here in Colorado Springs, and it is especially gorgeous at Christmastime. Leigh told me that she wanted some snowy anniversary photos to hang on the wall next to their beachy wedding photos. Somehow they scheduled our portrait session perfectly–a snowstorm started as we began the shoot! I was giddy with excitement as I took these photos. Leigh and Todd, happy anniversary, and thanks for asking me to help you celebrate!

Eleven Mile State ParkDecember 21, 2007
Yesterday Mike and I took my parents to Eleven Mile Canyon and Eleven Mile State Park. It was surprisingly warm, considering the snow and ice everywhere. Ally had a good romp in the deserted park, as we enjoyed the icy wonderland.

Total randomnessDecember 10, 2007Random stuff: ……………….. Mike and I are hosting Christmas for the first time this year. I’m really excited about it! My parents are coming from Virginia, and my aunt Gayle is coming from Montana. On Christmas Eve, the five of us will be going to the Denver Performing Arts Center to see “White Christmas,” and then we’ll be spending Christmas Day here at our house. I’ve been assembling family recipes from the cookbooks my aunt prepared for all of us, and I can’t wait to make my grandmother’s sugar cookies, Gayle’s pumpkin bread, and my mom’s black bottom cupcakes. The only problem is that I’m the only vegetarian in the group, so we have to come up with a Christmas menu that will appeal to herbivores and omnivores alike. I’m enjoying the challenge. Does anyone have suggestions? ……………….. I love movies this time of year. I want to see “Enchanted,” “August Rush,” and “Sweeney Todd,” and I can’t wait to get “Hairspray” on DVD. As much as I admired Khaled Hosseini’s book, I think I’ll skip “The Kite Runner” movie. It is just too traumatic for me to see. Has anyone read “A Thousand Splendid Suns” yet? What did you think? ……………….. On a sadder note, much of my daily energy has been devoted to caring for my ailing cat, Roger. Those of you who knew him years ago would barely recognize him these days. He’s deteriorating slowly from his diabetes, and although the vets say he’s ok, I’m very worried about the little guy. I’ll write more about him later, but in the meanwhile, please send thoughts of health and catnip. ……………….. Who’s going to the DWF convention in Tampa this year? Mike and I will be there!

Sample portrait albumDecember 5, 2007
Are you up for more album layouts? It’s my busy album season. Here’s a portrait album that I designed as a studio sample, using images from this fun photo shoot in Denver last summer. It will be a 10″x10″ fine art book. I really want to start presenting more albums to my portrait clients, because these books are such beautiful keepsakes.
