I’m the mama to little Magnolia, who was born on November 20th 2006. I’m an English-American living in London, England, with my fiance, Noah. 
I’m a bit of a dilettante at the moment… I love the arts—any and all of them, and am enjoying learning how to cook and create in the kitchen. This is a place to record the goods, and to document some of my favorite memories of my daughter and family, and life in London.
If you have any questions, want to use any of my photos, or just to say hello, my email is barbarasmithwilke [at] gmail [dot] com
Have a great day! :)

Sorry to barge into your website, i was visiting for the mother’s day photo contest from 5 minutes for mom, and I have to say I LOVE your photographs. You are so talented. Random question… mind if i ask what type of camera and lens you use! Thanks for the info. Your family is beautiful and your site is great!

thanks for the barging! hehe I use my trusty canon rebel xti and try to shoot in natural light for the most part. it is serving me well, and gives me a bit more freedom to be creative than with my old point-and shoot.
Magnolia is SUCH a beautiful name. That’s definitely going on my broody “Names for future offspring” list!
haha!
Read your Tweet about considering taking a short photography course. I looked at your photos, and it doesn’t look like you need a beginning course.
Here is a free online course being offered this coming Friday.
