Spring

Are you ready for Spring? I am loving this warmer weather, blue skies and most of all – the mini cadbury eggs I’ve been endlessly snacking on.

The grass is finally getting greener, there are a few tiny blooms on my apricot tree and I’ve got a nest of baby birds in my yard that sing to me each morning. I think I am noticing Spring more than ever this year for one main reason – I had to shoot my first “Spring” story during the not-so-spring-like month of January and it was seriously challenging!

This is my second year (fourth issue) being a contributor for Souvenir, and I absolutely adore it. It challenges me in so many ways. I feel so honored to be a part of it and I still get so excited each time an issue is released and I get to see something I shot and styled among the pages. I pushed myself to try something new this time around and although I was out of my comfort zone and was nearly broken by the lack of cooperation by Mother Nature, I think I managed to pull things off (or I hope I did). I will share more details soon…

The Spring issue of Souvenir is being released Monday, March 11th. You can purchase a digital copy (which includes an iPad friendly version) for just $3.95. Print copies are also available for those of you would love to hold, keep and re-look at the issue over and over like I do. Visit the Souvenir website to learn more.

Here are a few peeks at what you will find in this stunning issue…

Lovely-oh yes, so ready for SPRING! I live in New England!

January

Wow, January sure came and flew by fast. I’ve been busy with design work and chasing around Finn during the days so I somehow haven’t managed to update since the holiday. Finn celebrated his 18 month milestone on Josh’s birthday this month. He is getting so big! It’s truly amazing to watch how quickly he changes and grows. I finally took the time to snap some pictures of him today and I thought I would share…

a little bed head never hurt anyone…

“what’s that round black thing you’re holding, mom?”

stretch…aka… tall, skinny boy

one of his favorite things to do…

where he spends most of his time…

with his dozens of cars and trucks…

Finn is so handsome! I love the little spontaneous pictures..so cute!

My grandson just turned one a couple of weeks ago. It is great to watch my grandson do the things that Finn was doing a couple of months ago. Your photos give me a glimps of what Colt will be doing in several months…so exciting!

Beautiful…

Warmest Wishes

We had a lovely Christmas with family and friends and are enjoying the down time today playing with new toys and wearing new clothes. I hope your holidays were just as merry.

I’ve been looking for an image of these laurels everywhere! Would you mind sharing where you found this or did you create it? The graphics are great.

We used minted.com for our cards this year. They are part of the design we chose on their website. :)
