Dear Lady Wearing the Snowboots today,

You’d best leave the Midwest now as you clearly will have no hope of surviving the winter.  It was blue skies and 56F today, not 26F.  Or 6F.  or -26F. Best, Kelly

Thoughts on a Sunday

There’s a cool breeze coming in through my living room windows with clear blue skies up above.  With forecasted temps in the 60′s in the coming days, I do believe Fall is here to stay.  Hurray! You know when you’re trying to sleep but thoughts intrude of all the things that need to be done? ...

New jewelry find on Etsy

My sister’s friend Michelle recently launched an Etsy shop with simple yet striking jewelry.    In particular, I love this antique white cinnabar flower necklace with Korean jade.  Gorgeous!  I wish I had the coloring to wear it.

Another family + a Preview for a friend

Yet another Portland family has been blogged on my photography blog HERE.  I’m slowly making my way through the family shoots in the order they were taken to try and be fair.  But while watching TV tonight I couldn’t resist a quick peek to see what awesomeness the Osborn family brought at their session. Ooooo…So...
