[november morning]

thanksgiving is just the three of us. a quiet day - we make breakfast - watch the parade - go for a nice long walk along the river. today we stopped for hot chocolates along the way - annie and i like to hunt for pine cones that we can glitter for the holidays. this morning there were none. they were all hanging onto their branches. not sure if it's the warmer temps but we'll try again another day. we cooked a delicious meal - watched movies. it's so nice not to have to travel. i do miss my family - we're scattered everywhere. but the good thing about having a heart is the ability to fill it with all kinds of love. i am so thankful for so many things, good health, good friends, my family and wonderful memories. oh how i love november.

[here are some images from our walk]

i had the pleasure of shooting these adorable siblings in a mini session with the goal of that perfect holiday card shot. so sweet and so much fun - michael and kai kai. you were fabulous models!!

[alexis] = gorgeousness!

what the heck is in the water in rockport?!! because all the high school seniors that have honored me with a session are gorgeous and fun and delightful and sweet. and alexis. alexis is certainly no exception. she has a smile that lights up a room and a wonderful personality to go with it. i know how uncomfortable it is to be in front of a camera lens - reason no. 4 [of a very long list] why i don't like being in front of a camera - but alexis rocked it out. a very confident young lady indeed. alexis, i hope you have a a wonderful senior year - wishing you lots of success!! hope you love your sneak peek. you were a pleasure to shoot!!
