Flavored Water | a recipe
April 20, 2013
It might be a stretch to call this a “recipe”. I’ve been needing to drink much more water than I’m in the habit of guzzling on a day-to-day basis. Last summer I served cucumber-mint water at a birthday party on a sweltering August afternoon, and we were all pleased at how refreshing and cooling it was. Last week, my two-year old rejected the orange I washed and sliced for her– so I tossed it into a jar with some strawberries and mint.
It was delicious.
As I poured out the flavored water into my glass throughout the day, I just kept adding more into the jar. Strawberry-orange-mint water all day long! My dehydrated self was very happy.
Do you drink flavored water? What are your favorite add-ins?
Hello 2013 and Win a Mini Session!
February 1, 2013
It’s good to be back, friends!
I had mentioned before that there a some new things going on with my business here… now that sweet little Jane has joined the brood I’ve become the mother of four little girls– aged 5 and under– who need (and deserve) lots of my time and attention. As a wife and mother, I’ve decided to make a commitment to making the most of the time I have with my family during these busy “little years”.
As a photographer and artist, I want to make the most of my time with my clients as well. I just love taking photos of people. I love hanging a portrait on the wall, holding a beautiful album, and announcing the birth of a new baby with a lovely little card sent in the mail. I’m so excited to do more of these things this year.
In 2013 I will take only a very limited number of portrait commissions so that both my family and my clients get my best. Please keep this in mind as you may want to book spring, summer, and fall sessions in advance to secure a spot on the calendar. Pricing has been tweaked a little and I am offering more digital options as well! In the coming days and weeks I’ll highlight some of the beautiful new things I have for you.
I’m also excited to announce that my popular mini sessions are now available year-round in Annapolis! Here are the details:
Mini Sessions are 30 minutes long for one immediate family and must take place in Annapolis.
You will receive all images (10-13) on USB drive, and they are yours to print as you wish! Simple and fun.
$400
And now it’s time for the give-away. To celebrate a bright new year ahead of us, and my beautiful new daughter, and the fact that THIS is a good year to have portraits taken of your own family, I’m giving away a free mini session! For your chance to win, follow these two easy steps:

Hi Heather,
I enjoy natural flavored ice water also! I use lots of fresh frueits, veggies and herbs as my water enhancers-depending on what I have around. I may add and sometimes combine a few slices of strawberries, peaches, oranges, lemon, kiwi, lime, cucumber, fresh mint, and/or basil. I tend to keep a bottle of lemon juice concentrate on hand just for that purpose. Always delicious, refreshing, fun- and healthy!. My friend adds seltzer water or ginger ale to her conconctions and they’re good too! (I’m not big on drinking sodas so I don’t tend to use those but they are tasty.)
