Nature's Lovers

Everyone should have those friends that you know you'll have for a lifetime; the kind of friends that you celebrate the good times with and that hold your hands through the bad. For my husband and I, Jen and Aaron are those people. I've known "Fez" since we worked together in high school and was pleased when he brought Jen into our social circle. And when they were married last winter, we were thrilled to share their day with them. They are a marvelous pair who work hard and who are so full of love, both for each other and for nature. I am proud to call them friends and love them both dearly. Jen & Fez, I truly hope you guys enjoy these photos and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking me to such beautiful places and for such a great day with you guys :) 

My Happy Halloweeners

Naturally, when deciding what our kids would dress up as for Halloween, Corbin (5 months), inherited Deviny's costume from when she was an infant. But when my husband and I asked Dev (2 1/2) what she wanted to be, she paused, put her finger to her chin and said, "hmmmm... a dinosaur." So, a friend of mine was sweet enough to loan us her sons costume from the previous year. But after my brother bought Deviny the movie, How to Train Your Dragon, she quickly changed her mind from wanting to dress up as a dinosaur to wanting to be a dragon. Lucky for us, after taking a closer look at the costume we had borrowed, we noticed that it had wings. Afer showing Deviny what we had discovered, she was pleased that her costume resembled "Toothless," her favorite character in the movie. Now, she's excited to trick-or-treat and they're the cutest things I've ever seen!!

Autumn Awe

Autumn is definitely my favorite time of year with the cooler weather and breath-taking colors. I love bundling up in a sweatchirt and jeans to go on nature walks with my children to collect the prettiest leaves we can find. The images below are from weekend adventures with my family so not only are these pictures of attractive places and things but there are fond memories attached to each for me, making them that much more beautiful :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Precious Pearls

I've had the privilege of knowing Sarah since we were freshman in college and have watched as she has become the wife to a wonderful man and the mother of 2 beautiful daughters: Emma, who is so sweet and who loved to smile for the camera, and Taylor who marches to her own drumbeat and amuses those around her. Through the years, I have come to treasure my friendship with Sarah, adore her family, and am pleased that I get to watch as her family continues to grow with her and Chris expecting their third child in the spring. The Pearl Family was an absolute joy to spend time with and I hope you guys enjoy these photos as much as I did taking them. Love you guys!

Lovely Lauren

I am proud to say that this is my dear friend Lauren, and she is a contestant in the 2011 Mrs. New Hampshire Pagent. She asked me to take some pictures for her and I was nothing short of honored! She is a loving wife, a marvelous mother, a beautiful person inside and out, and if the judges aren't blind, she's a shoe in to win!! Love you darlin, lots of luck and I hope you like these :)

 

     

   

 

Angels Without Wings

Since I've become a mother, my children have filled my life with a million little moments that bring me joy like nothing else has. They make me laugh daily and I thank God for my two little angels who complete me and give my life purpose. To my dearest little ones, Deviny & Corbin, I love you both more than you'll ever know <3

 

   

 

Her children rise up and call her blessed.
