Southpaw Peach

Agent J August 12, 2022

Sometimes the stars align and our timing could not be more perfect. After our golf shoot, my mom told me she was looking for a mini bat and glove because she also thought we needed to do a baseball-themed photo shoot. I said yes please but, I knew it had to be A League of Their Own style and have BB dress up as a Rockford Peach. Mom agreed with that idea and then ghosted me. Ha! Now I already had the costume (A secondhand Poshmark score!) but, I still needed our mini bat. Naturally, I went straight to Chewy.com where I found the perfect set, here. I am not sure if you have noticed, but we always try to incorporate actual bonafide dog toys for our props and if I can’t find it, I will then make it myself. Anyway, back to my story. My props and set were ready to go, I just needed to schedule our publishing date. I chose August 12th and added it to my calendar not thinking there was anything special about the date. Then several weeks ago, while doing some research on the 1992 film and the original AAGPBL Rockford Peaches, I discovered they are bringing back ALOTO. That’s right A League of Their Own will be a series on Amazon Prime and get this, its premiere date is …drum roll…TODAY! Friday, August 12th. I could not have planned this debut any better. A product of the 80s, I was eleven years old when the movie came out. I probably didn’t get all the humor but, I absolutely loved the movie. I would watch it even if it was mid-way through on television if I discovered it while channel surfing. The story is so wonderful, the actors were an absolute dream team and the fact that it was loosely based on a true story fascinated me all the more. So I will definitely check out the new series as well. My brother and I used to collect baseball cards when we were kids. When planning this photo out, I wanted the photo to look like a baseball card, but not just any baseball card, one that was so precious it was protected by a plastic sleeve. I would call the finished photos a home run. Now, Play Ball!

“I’ll BEE Back!”

Oh, but they are going to need all of our help to do so.

Bees are yet another pollinator experiencing the threat of termination, which, would be terribly bad for all of mankind and the planet as a whole. Unfortunately, we lack the ability to go back into the past and redirect their path from extinction. But there are some things we can do to help bring our buzzy friends back.

Monarchs Rule

Agent J July 22, 2022

It’s true, Monarchs do rule, both figuratively and literally. But all fun aside and on a serious note, sadly this North American beauty is an endangered species now facing the very real threat of extinction. What can we do? Well, we can start by planting milkweed plants, the primary source of food for monarchs. Unfortunately, monarchs are not alone, due to hotter temps and dryer weather conditions all butterflies across the globe are facing the same fate. So go visit your local plant shops and pick up some butterfly-loving flower seeds and plant them in your yards. Please check out the website, Save Our Monarchs for more info along with extra tips for you to lend your hand in helping our fluttering friends.

Star-Spangled

Agent J July 4, 2022

It seems a bit daft to celebrate our country's freedom when more than half of its populace was recently stripped of their own fundamental and constitutional right of bodily autonomy. How can we celebrate a country's "freedom" when not all of its citizens are truly free? I hope by now, especially in light of recent events, we can grasp the importance of making our voices heard through our vote. The saying "voting has consequences" couldn't be closer to the truth. Your vote is your voice in power. It's your constitutional right. Don't let anyone tell you it's not important or that it doesn't matter. Research the candidates running, their positions, and voting records. Make sure they align with your core values and that they will be the best representative for you and your needs. Vote in ALL elections; those small local and state elections are equally as important and, as you're seeing now, could be even more detrimental than ever before without your participation.

When Benjamin Franklin was asked after a session of the Constitutional Convention,

"What kind of a government have you given us?" he replied, "A democracy if you can keep it."

Our republic is founded on the principle that it will continue only as long as the people keep democracy alive.

I hope you enjoy this day with your friends and family. And truly reflect on the direction this country seems to be going in. This is not the time to wave the white flag and simply give up. Use your voice to maintain our constitutional rights and the freedoms so many before us fought for and even gave their lives for.

Ruff Stuff

Agent J June 19, 2022

Growing up without a whole lot of money, we learned to take extra good care of our things. If something broke, you would roll up your sleeves and try first to fix it before buying it new. And I’m not talking about duck taping it back together either. Like actually fixing it, almost making it brand new again. My dad was great at fixing things, making stuff, and building just about anything. So for Father’s day, I thought what are some of the things that remind me of my dad? Well apart from music, his twelve-string guitar, and trucking; I thought of his ‘Bob Vila’ side. My dad, the handyman extraordinaire. From there I pictured his endless collection of Levi’s denim jeans, all the flannels I would steal from him, (it’s was a grunge thing), the brand Carhartt, his DIY spirit, and the color blue, not just for his bright blue eyes, but because I remember blue being his favorite color when I was a kid. All those details I tried to incorporate in this shoot.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad!

We’re celebrating Bridget’s 6th birthday today. And while I am slammed with work-related tasks, I took my lunch break for a quick photo shoot. And naturally, she being the professional, we wrapped with plenty of time for me to actually get lunch. Throughout the day I have been surprising her with snacks. Because she turned six today, she’s getting six surprises.

We started off with snack # 1 as a wake call in bed. She wasn’t too sure what to think of the rude awakening. As she loves her beauty sleep.

Snack # 2 was presented to her when she came into my office to ask to go outside.

Snack # 3 was given to her on set as we were getting dressed for her bday photoshoot. (see above and to the side for the end result).

Snack # 4 was a nice dinner surprise.

Snack # 5 was a teepee treat, interrupting her facetime with Gary.

Snack # 6 the final gift was an unexpected bedtime snack.
