I love fresh flowers.
Years ago I told my wonderful husband Tony that if I were rich I would have fresh flowers on my table all the time. Being the resourceful and thoughtful man that Tony is, he planted a wildflower garden and it continues to grow in beauty each year. It is such a relaxing activity to go out in the morning and see what is blooming. And then to select some flowers to create arrangements – and not only for my table, but for those around me too.
Tony shared, “now you are rich.” Yes, I am! And thankful.

Look and keep looking. Doubt flees, Joy reigns, and Hope conquers.

One of the precious perks of being a photographer is watching the families we capture change & grow! Special thanks to my dear friend Sharon for including us in a planned family photo day each year to capture her beautiful family!!! The tradition began following the birth of their first grandchild, Sophia, in 2006. And since then we have witnessed the addition of two wonderful sons-in-law and oh so happy grandson, Aaron. This year we met at their home in Providence and adventured to the local woodsy area to pose and play.
