Guest Photographer for Just One Place

This week I am taking a break from posting new images on my blog. Unfortunately, my camera had a malfunction last Saturday while I was second shooting an engagement session in Boston. So, for the next few weeks I will have the opportunity to post a few of my older photos to a great new blog I heard about through Twitter! Please check it out! http://www.appleshavewings.com/ Here's a link, if you'd like to meet me on Twitter! http://twitter.com/mindstirphotos

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas! Don't forget the reason for this season!

Christmas Family Portraits at Churchill's

My first visit to Churchill's in Exeter, NH...quite impressed! If you have a green thumb or just want to be 'wowed' by the beauty of floral design, stop by Churchill's. There are even monthly events, demonstrations and seminars! Check out there events calendar. I will be visiting this store all year round. The employees are friendly, the flowers and arrangements are beautiful and you can't help but smile while you are there. Below are a few images from my family Christmas portrait session as well as a glimpse at what Churchill's has to offer this time of year. For more photos of Churchill's, check out my Flickr page.

Cody & Brody - Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I love watching the Macy's Day Parade, cooking with my mother, talking for hours with family, and eating turkey! Thanksgiving is a day for remembering all that we are thankful for. It is more of a reminder to me of all I take for granted. I hesitate saying this, but I have far more than I REALLY need. God is so good to me!

I am so thankful for my family. There is nothing in this world that can replace family. We are only given a limited amount of time on this earth and should make the most of every opportunity we have with our loved ones. My family's pets have always been part of every holiday and event. I always have so much fun watching them and this year I spent a little time photographing them.
