saying goodbye {to winter}

Two weeks ago we had one of our larger snowfalls of the season, and in about two weeks spring will officially arrive. Right now we have clear blue skies and rising temperatures, and yet still plenty of snow is holding the ground hostage. So I’d say today is the center of a two week seasonal sandwich.

So while I anxiously await the bare ground, buds forming on trees, and a new crop of migratory birds to appear, I wanted to send winter a little parting gift of photos. Beth and I had so much fun photographing Derek and Cooper who took advantage of the big snowstorm with a super fun day of sledding…

Poor Derek got a boot full of snow on his last run of the day…

After a loads of sledding fun and climbing back up the hill, Cooper reached his tipping point…

Cooper and Derek are so lucky to have not only a brother in each other, but a best friend as well…

Bon Voyage Winter… see you in nine!

Several years ago, I read an interview with rocker girl Gwen Stefani. I don’t think she was pregnant yet, but she was talking about her marriage and plans for children in the near future. She asked “Really, what is more romantic than two people choosing to raise children together?” I know, I know. It can be very tiring, very messy, very unromantic on a day to day basis, but the hopeless romantic in me hopes that Gwen is right.

Some of my dearest wedding clients Piper and Jamie asked me to photograph their one year old daughter Helena. When I look at this photograph, I see romance and all kinds of love…

I think this is one of my all time favorite portraits!
