Impromptu Snow(girl) Photo Session

I didn't really have a photo session planned this weekend. But with Beth, Lil and Tracy's visit, there was a moment that became a must-shoot and I made a mad dash into the house for the D70. We had the second measurable snowfall of the season on Thursday, the first being back in October. After visiting the NH Children's Museum in Dover, it was just too nice to be inside. 


I love outdoor photography. I love the softness of the light, the snow and the crisp air.


 The snow was perfect for packing and rolling into a snowman, so we gave it a go. All the while, I'm wondering why does it have to be a snow"man?" Why can't anyone ever put a feminine twist on it? We had a good laugh about it, and eventually there was a little girly flair to the creature when it was all done. (notice the evergreen skirt at the finish)


Adding the necessary facial features was important, along with completing the look with essential scarf, stick arms and gloves. Although, it became a team effort, Lily was the most excited.


Feeling very proud and happy with the results!



  Lily loved playing in the snow, although, it didn't take long for her fingers to be frozen in her little MandM gloves. 



Just before the snow"girl" creation, we had been sledding down the hill from our backyard to the driveway. After a number of runs, the snow was in perfect shape for ending up in the middle of the driveway. It wasn't until Beth and Tracy came home that the fun evolved into snow ball slinging, ganging up on Poppy (girl power) and the idea that building something resembling a snowman had to happen. These moments are fun, totally unplanned and sitting here today I wish we could do it all over again.

Christmas: 22 Days and Counting - My Grown-Up Christmas List

Let's be real. Who hasn't walked past the Santa in the mall and just for a split second, thought about standing in line, sitting on his lap and sharing our own Christmas wish list?  (Yes, that's me in the photo below the last time I actually sat on Santa's lap!) From a child's perspective, Santa is THE guy. He's the ultimate, most recognized gift giver, the most talked about person the day before and after Christmas, and the only one who can get away with wearing a bright red suit with white trim in the middle of the 21st century. He's the epitome of what it means to be jolly. He's the decider of who's good and bad and rewards accordingly. He is most likely the world's largest employer, putting more people to work than anyone on the planet! And somehow gets it all done before December 25th. And the perception is that he will grant your every wish, bring you everything your heart desires, leaving nothing unchecked on your never ending list.

The Grace of Giving

Captivating. Radiant.  Beautiful. Graceful. Stunning. Pretty. Absolutely gorgeous. Lovely.  Ravishing.   These are words that one would use to describe a blushing bride on her wedding day. Walking down the aisle, everyone who is watching has a thought, a word, or a gasp of expression for the beauty that is synonymous with a bride in a wedding dress. There's something about the lace overlay, tiny buttons lined up down the middle of the back, the white flowing Chiffon, Charmeuse or Satin fabric, the plunging neckline, cinched in waistline or the trailing veil. It's a complete package of nothing less than amazing beauty, every element seemingly necessary to help you feel as special as you are on your day. Wearing a garment as special as a wedding dress creates a punctuation mark on the journey to cross over from life alone to life with another person. The walk through this threshold is brief but meaningful, filled with emotions, it’s definitely a pivotal moment in your l

Can it get any more precious?

Michael walked out to the car, said to me "I'm going to give her to you, then drive the car around." What? Oh, we were at the airport last night to pick up Beth and Bre. It was late, and you know the airports - they don't let you wait by the curb for your arriving party. So, we were across the street in the waiting lot. He walks over, as I open up the door, he hands me this bundle that turned out to be Lily. Lily was sound asleep. I mean she didn't even feel the cold air when he walked outside. The beauty about little children sleeping so soundly is that you see every little detail of their face, their lips so pressed together, their eye lashes glued against their cheeks, their hair in a tussle. At this moment especially, they are so kissable! As I'm cradling her in my arms she has no idea that I'm holding her. I kiss her forhead and tell Michael how precious everything about her is, to which he agrees, but adds "she's getting so
