This shoot had been a gift certificate that had been given as a Christmas present. I'm so glad the weather held out so we could fit it in. Even with REALLY high humidity, the girls hung in there for close to an hour and a half of shooting.

It's so much fun to have a group of teens who are always looking for a new FB shot. I have a great new lens, the Sigma 50mm 1.4, and I'm still trying to figure out it's shooting range, so I was more than happy to oblige.

I love it when I have the opportunity to shoot a family in their own environment, and today I made a short jaunt out past New Hope to this beautiful stone house and grounds. The drive and farm reminded me again of how much I truly enjoy living in Bucks County. You could travel far and wide and not find a more scenic area. The portrait session had been a gift for the parents, and I was so glad we were able to squeeze it in while the whole family was together for the weekend.

I don't usually shoot events, but a good friend from college asked. Congrats Brooke and Al!

I have watched this you tube video three times today, and I am so thankful to have stumbled upon it. What a great reminder to cherish each and every day with your children, and most especially, the ordinary days. I resolve to take more snapshots, and truly be "present" in each moment I get to share with my children. Of one thing I am certain, they will be grown long before I am ready for them to be.
