Their love...

My grandparents have been married sixty four years and when they go out on walks, they still hold each others hands...to me, this is the definition of love.

Weekend getaways...

...are always wonderful but this weekend getaway to Prescott, Arizona will be an incredibly memorable one as we celebrate my grandfather's ninetieth birthday. We're looking forward to spending the weekend with the grandparents, parents and sister. Weekend getaways that involve being close with the family, sharing family stories and of course, being with my wonderful grandparents is what makes this upcoming weekend memorable. Ninety years old...wowzers.

Disconnect time

Rarely do I get to disconnect from the cell phone, laptop and internet so I am definitely excited and full of glee to escape from it all as we head to Yosemite. We're camping outside the Valley at Hodgdon Meadow which is perfect since we don't have to be surrounded by the mass tourists of the Valley but still a close enough drive to head there for a day. Originally our plan was to include a 14 mile hike out to Clouds Rest but with the husband's knee acting up again, it will be a weekend of mellow hiking and of course, endless photo taking! It's been about two years since we've last been to Yosemite and really need to take advantage of it more often...it's only a four hour drive away! I'm looking forward to disconnecting this weekend and being one happy camper!

Four months old, pure gorgeousness

Back in May, she was a two week old baby who was an absolute joy to do an impromptu shoot with. Now she's four months old with piercing blue eyes, a brilliant smile and already, a natural in front of the camera.
