When my grandkids come to me for a sleepover, we often end up playing in my studio. These are some of the images that we created this evening.

Torah
Seven year old Torah stopped by the studio to get some photos taken the other day. Just love this spunky kid.
Studio Princess
I had fun in this studio this afternoon with this little pageant princess. Some kids are just born to perform. I think she is one of them. Studio photos used to be the standard go-to for documenting families, especially kids as they grew and changed from year to year. I think we miss some of that in our world of smartphone cameras.
Field Trip with Grandchild #3
This afternoon I picked up my 5 year old granddaughter, Torah for some one-on-one grandma time. When I arrived, she was ready to go in her sassy boots and with purse slung over her shoulder. We headed out to Fresh Fields at Kiawah to the Palmetto Scent Studio to create a unique olfactory sensation. After sniffing most of the overwhelming selection of scents on offer, she decided that “Mango” was her favorite, so the very patient sales assistant then directed her through the process of blending her aerosol perfume, complete with custom, hand-drawn label. That experience was followed by a visit to Ben & Jerry’s which featured a similarly paralyzing array of icecream flavors. We ate the icecream cones by the lake in the sun while keeping an eye on a large alligator sunning himself at a safe distance. This is important stuff, making memories, spending time.
A New Family Member to Celebrate
A new baby is always a reason to celebrate. This is my son & daughter-in-law’s first child, Elena Mary. She arrived after 24+ hours of hard labor by her mom and had a few minor health challenges to overcome. All is now well and she is beautiful. Welcome to the family little one.
