Posted on November 4, 2020November 4, 2020 by Sandra

My rainbow leopard dress matches James’ Halloween hat perfectly! So I decided to tuck up and stitch the floor length dress to make it look more like a circus ringmaster. If only I had a cane and a top hat! Happy James: What do you think of my dress? I think it is fun and…

Happy Halloween 2020

Posted on November 3, 2020November 3, 2020 by Sandra

Posted on April 16, 2020April 16, 2020 by Sandra

We took some portraits of James on Monday celebrating James’ 10th birthday! I was surprised his tongue wasn’t completely hanging out of his mouth in the portraits because he played with a lot of friends along his walk to Old 4th Ward Park for these photos! Spring is here in Atlanta and the trees have…

Posted on February 12, 2020February 11, 2020 by Sandra

Right after the new year, we were in Dallas, Texas. I always love *wandering* around Walmart (something I learned from my Grandma – funny I was always in a hurry when I was a teen shopping with her but now I know why she loved wandering Walmart! It is always full of fun surprises!) In…
