Thomas

During spring break we took a trip to AZ to visit family and photograph

my new nephew Thomas. He is so tender, I fell in love instantly.

His whole family is smitten, all his 5 brothers simply adore him and

want to hold him constantly.

Early on sunday morning we had to do a quick photo shoot

as that was the only time we could fit it in. We used "getting

to hold the baby for pictures" as a bribe to get all the older 

boys to get ready for church. Worked perfectly. 

The pictures turned out so lovely.

So glad you are here little guy! you will be loved dearly.

Tulip Festival

I had the pleasure of attending the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving

Point in the spring (april 2011). For living so close to this amazing venue

I had never been to see the flowers and I was excited to be able to discover so many 

new gardens and beautiful spaces that I didn't know existed. It was a 

beautiful day, and I was blown away.

 I brought my macro lens to experiment with and to help me capture the beauty.

 I never knew about the secret garden and it was such a treat to find.

Afterwards we went out to dinner at a delicious greek restaurant, what a beautiful fresh day.
