This month offered us a sweet and very unexpected surprise. Sure, it’s November. It’s not that out of the ordinary. But really? It’s only November. We usually have to wait until December and sometimes even Christmas before it happens. We heard rumors that it was going to happen. Some predicted it. Others doubted it. Most...
When the weather begins to turn and the clouds creep in. When we see more gray days than bright ones. When layers upon layers become the norm. That’s when we begin to hold tight to is or what was, as we anticipate what it to come. Weather is a big deal where we live. We...
As I noticed the deadline for our 30-minutes approaching, I made plans in my head about what I would do. I thought about taking a trip to a city and capturing our time there. I envisioned big buildings and crowded streets met with wide-eyed little ones as we explored new surroundings. I foresaw experiences that...
As each day of summer closes I feel the aching in my heart grow as I realize the end of summer is quickly approaching. It’s an shift that I realize is inevitable, but still, I face it with dread. Like a child who collects seashells in a pail on the edge of a beach, I...

Oh my goodness I looooved that post!!! How magical that Meadow got a snow day to celebrate her birthday 🙂 That pink balloon against the all white backdrop?! Awesome!!!
Oh you lucky people!! I love a snow day and we never get snow like that in Istanbul. It just seems to clear everything up and freshen your thoughts. I love the pops of colour in these pictures. The compositions and the different snowy textures are completely marvelous. And the close ups of your daughters and cinematic: so full of story and emotion and epic beauty. How cool to have a birthday balloon in the snow too. Perfect!!
this is so fabulous. I loved every single second of it. It really makes me miss Ohio. We got excited here in Mississippi because we got like .10 inch of snow. hahaha I LOVE the color pops against all that white! I'm just like you with snow days — guess I never grew out of it!! So fun for Meadow to get to have a day with everyone for her birthday. Little blessings. <3
Summer, every image you capture is just more breathtaking than the next!! I absolutely love the windswept image of your older daughter. WOW! Just stunning…all of them!
Happy Birthday to Meadow. I just love that huge balloon, and she looks like she is going to get swallowed up in all that snow. I love the snow days, they are definitely a bonus, however not the biggest fan of the cold wet snow itself. As always your words are just the icing on the cake on these beautiful images. Love them all so very much.
Happy Birthday Ms Meadow. What a special treat. I like a snow day – but longer than a day and I am not happy. It is too cold. I am complaining down south that it is chilly – I cannot imagine what it is like up your way. I love how the balloon stands out against the snow. But oh Summer, the black and white image of your daughter is just stunning, as is the similar color version. So beautiful – Thank you for sharing your stories I love them.
Eeek I lost my post! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEADOW!!! I just adore these, I could never get perfect exposure in the snow so I'm totally in awe! The colours are divine and that last balloon shot, swoon! Such a beautiful set of photos (and that looks SO fun) xxx
Fabulous! So different from the usual warmth of your work but in a really good way! Adore how the colours pop against the white and the pink balloon is just brilliant! Looks like Meadow had a marvellous time on her birthday!
Happy Birthday Meadow! Such fun!!! I love this, "I love when we get snow days (or as I like to call them "bonus days".) It's kind of like finding a $20 bill left in your winter coat from last winter. Or receiving a card in the mail from a friend "just because"." You have a beautiful outlook on life. Your children are so lucky!
What you did with the white and the color here is just awesome. I love snow days, and it looks like you guys took advantage of it to its fullest. And the balloon images… seriously amazing!
