Pretty Petals

You've just got to love spring and all the lovely colors and life it brings! My Father-in-law got my daughter this gorgeous orchid for Easter and I couldn't help but go for my camera. The petals are such a vibrant magenta and they go beautifully with the gorgeous green leaves perched at the bottom of its long stem. I love how a little color can brighten up a whole room and that's exactly what this little flower has done in our home :)

A Beautiful Winter Day

While driving home from a session in Stoddard, I drove through the quaint town of Hancock and I fell in love, especially with its gorgeous church and beautiful pond where local kids had made a skating rink. The sky was amazing this day and I couldn't resist stopping to take a few shots. While roaming around, to my pleasant surprise, I came across a quiet graveyard (which have been a fascniation on mine since I was young) and I had so much fun trucking through the snow to make my way from one end of it to the other. It was such a peaceful afternoon and I was so happy to have been there to enjoy it :) 

It Was A Good Day

 For Christmas this past year, my in-laws got us tickets to the Toy Story 3 on Ice show at the TD Garden. My 2 year-old has been a fan since she saw the first Toy Story and has fallen in love with the characters and songs from all 3 movies. So when my husband and I told her that she was going to see them all in person, she couldn't wait for the day to arrive. We took the train into Boston (which she loved!) and had 3rd row seats which allowed us to see them up close and personal. My daughter watched the entire show with her mouth open in awe and it was a blast to see her so starstruck. We had a great time and my daughter is still talking about how she got to see "Buzz and Woody and Jessie!" It was such a wonderful day... one I'll never forget! :) 

My little lady, looking for a place to dance as "You've Got a Friend in Me" played for the big finale.

Dreamin' of Beach Days

With all this warm weather we've been having lately, I've been thinking a lot about summer. These are some photos I took last August while my family and I visited Goose Rocks Beach in Maine with my wonderful in-laws. It was an amazing day and I love how these pictures allow me to relive it every time I look at them. We spent the entire day swimming, playing, and walking for miles along the peaceful waterfront. I loved this day and I'm looking forward to my family and I visiting again this year :)

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 :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gone In A Flash!

These are shots I took while no one knew I was watching. I love the sincerity and emotion in photos when people don't know they're being taken... fleeting moments that are so beautiful and are gone in an instant.
