Ciao! Welcome to the blog-Upclose and Real

Sono Shelia!  To sum up...I am a mom that adores her little one, a navy wife and I gal that just loves her family and friends..Oh and this small little obession I have with Italy!  I am a lover of all things Italian.  The food.  The people.  The shoes.  The clothes that I will never be able to wear. The 4 hour mid-day breaks.  The slow life.  One day I will live there again.  And when I do you can bet my lens will go everywhere with me.  Because that is just what I do- document.  I document everything.  And that is what you will find here on this blog.  My journeys in life.  The day to day happenings here at the studio. My little one and all her glory. And of course images galore!!

There is no spell check or grammar check in my world.  My apologies up front.  If you like what you see, send me some love.  Comments make me smile and let me know I am not alone in this big big cyber world!  Plus, I just *love* meeting new folks! So don't be shy..I don't bite and neither will anyone else on this blogsphere..and if they do..I'll pull their hair!
