Elissa Holiday Session 2012

I've had the privilege of photographing this cutie every year since she was just a baby.  She certainly has grown into a bubbly, sweet little girl!  You may remember her super cute bee costume from last year.  This year we met in a park and just had some fun on the playground, one of their favorite places to hang as a family.  You can tell she really adores her uncle, who also joined us for the session.

Enjoy!

La Piece de Resistance

Wow, I've been super busy lately! But then again, aren't we all?  The busy has been a very good kind, with lots of travel and seeing friends and family and very fulfilling work.  I can't wait to share all the photo sessions I did for the holidays this year!

In the meantime, I thought I'd share a few photos from our recent trip to Europe.  We went to Helsinki, London, the northern part of France (Normandy), and then Paris.  The trip was to celebrate five wonderful years of being married and it could not have been a more amazing, beautiful, and inspiring visit!  To say that we enjoyed every minute of it really doesn't do the trip justice.

Marking a milestone like an anniversary or birthday always makes me reflective and if I'm being totally honest, a little moody.  Sometimes I can't believe it's already been five years since we got married (or that I'm not 25 anymore), but whenever I try to hold on to any moments too tightly, I remember reading Thich Nhat Hanh (like any good college student, I read a lot of books about Buddhism and meditation) who reminds us to be present in the moment.  And then I try to just relax, enjoy the journey, and remember that each day is a gift.


Enjoying the adventure,
