dreaming of spring

Winter in Virginia is pretty bleak, we don't have the beautiful blanket of pristine white snow to cover the lack of nature. But yesterday I saw flower buds on a tree and got all excited! I know it's still far off but spring will come, and when it does, it shows up in every color imaginable. Here are some photographs I took last spring at the Harrisonburg arboretum and they remind me of what is to come.

because it's beautiful

i love this.
its by the small stakes. more amazingness here.

cold day cuteness

Mom Jackie & Reese



















i realize its not cold everywhere (southern calif) but here in Virginia and for most of the country it's been pretty chilly. so here is some cuteness to brighten your day. this is baby Reese, she is six months old and full of adorable faces and had quite the audience to show them off too when we did this shoot. i was so excited to photograph this family outside and we got rained out; so we had to make the best of it inside. enjoy and happy new year!

p.s. sorry for the lack of posts (kimi), i have been working on my website!
