Twin Horses? - Paulet, Vt

On May 19th my husband and I learned we were going to have a baby and could not have been more excited or thrilled. However, nothing will ever compare to the surprise of our first Dr. appt on June 2nd, where we discovered we were having TWINS! We feel so blessed and fortunate to be able to have such a unique experience and can only imagine what this journey will bring.

At the beginning of every new experience in life, I believe its one's attitude that makes all the difference. Thankfully, we are surrounded by such loving and excited family and friends that I can't wait for them to arrive, as they are already so loved.

As with so many aspects of my life since starting my "journey through the lens," I am once again presented with a photographic aspect. I love how I am already photographically connected with my babies. Since I'm considered "high risk" I have had and will continue to have many ultrasounds and therefore many opportunities to see them at various stages of growth and development. And, as evidence of their progress, I get wonderful photographic images to show my family and hang on my fridge. Its quite amazing seeing through a lens how they are growing and becoming little beings. Of course, I can't wait to discover baby photography and all aspects of capturing their lives and personas through the lens.

House on a Hill, Pawlet, Vermont

When I came across this house on a hill last weekend in Pawlet, Vermont, I simply had to stop and shoot. It reminded me of a Warren Kimble painting! This scene is my idea of the quintessential Vermont landscape .... a beautiful Colonial with the requisite red barn overlooking dozens of acres and a feeling of sturdiness, solitude and tranquility. One of the millions of reasons I love Vermont.

While hiking in Pound Ridge this past weekend, I was excited to see this beautiful tree in full bloom.

"How much more there is now to living! Instead of our drab slogging forth and back to the fishing boats, there’s reason to life! We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill. We can be free! We can learn to fly!" -Richard Bach
