Lou is HOME and purring on my lap right now! Yesterday we walked by our old house, one last time, and there he was meowing in his tree… so, so hungry. Luckily I happened to have some ham in my pocket. Thank you so much for the support. We will keep him indoors now, so…

I lose things. I lost my first tooth before the tooth fairy could take it. Well technically I didn’t lose it, the maid at the hotel threw it away. I lost my first camera on the steps of the Smithsonian Museum on our 6th grade trip to Washington DC. I lost a jade stone from…

Not only were two books with my photography published this year… (Harvesting Color by Rebecca Burgess.) (Cooking My Way Back Home by Mitchell Rosenthall.) But I also started work on my third book… And I had two photographs…

Born at our home on October 14th at 12:20 am. Named after my most favorite grandparents, who taught me the importance and value of family. (photo taken by the talented Jude Mooney.) He is only three weeks old and I am still completely blown away by it all… By the fact that he was once…

I love a good love story, and I don’t think there is a better love story than my grandparents’ love story. In high school my grandfather, Bob Harper, had a crush on my grandmother, Sally Lofgren, but because he was so terribly shy he couldn’t do a thing about it. So my grandfather’s best friend,…
