Timmo :: Senior Class Prez ::

Timmo (Tim, to his classmates) is my younger brother. Younger, not littler. He is probably a good 5 inches taller than me.  He is also senior class president! woot! I was pretty impressed with his "Get Your Books Covered!" fundraiser he started for his class this summer.  He literally went to all of the grocery stores in their area and got them to donate paper bags. ha! I reminded him when I was home a couple weeks ago that I was senior class VICE president....and he has already outdone my fundraising history. :)

So, with senior year approaching, Timmo and I got together over my time in NH to take his senior photos.  It was clear where the location would be - the farm that our grandparents own - where both Timmo and I have lived and worked.  In fact, he is still painting the horse paddock fenses that I painted one summer.  We should maybe put 20 layers of shelac on them to avoid having to repaint every summer.....option??

The farm is gorgeous and really offers endless photo backdrops and props. This is why I couldn't blog all of the photos from our shoot....but here are some of my favs...of Timmo and of our morning at the farm.

:: Happy Happy Friday ::

I edited to Fleetwood Mac Radio on Pandora last night.  I should probably do this more often.  I used to get really pumped when we'd drive up to Sunday River, blaring Go Your Own Way and Rhiannon...at 7am.  Likewise, Stevie and Lindsey's intriguing beats kept me awake last night in order to make a dent in the over 2,000 photos I had to sift and edit. yikes!

And I guess it is only fitting that I'd be listening to these same tracks while editing this next set of images...

My best friend Rhianon, her hubby Seth and their little Hudsy bear were due for some new photos (Hudson is almost 16 months old!) and it just so happened that I was in New Hampshire last week...with a priority to see them....and my camera basically glued to my face.  Two reasons I LOVE taking pictures with Rhi, Seth and Hudson - 1) I get to spend lots of time with them, obviously, and 2) They are the most ridiculously adorable fam ever. Proof below.

Some of my favorites. xo. Miss you guys TONS!

Flashback. 2010.

Hudson sported a sporadic mohawk during our shoot. It was quite windy.

Wait for it....

SUCH a ham!

Mela :: Italian for Apple ::

Mela is my friend and fellow photographer, Kristen's, little girl. Little as in she is a tiny itty bitty little one. But you can't let her size fool you...she may be the fastest, most mobile 13 month old I've ever seen. It's a good thing I have a fast lens!

Because Mela is very modern we went to the train tracks. Don't worry, there were no trains. Safety first.

Here are some of my favs. Enjoy.

Sunshine. Saturday. Sneak Peeks.

300+ days of sunshine a year in Colorado.  This makes staying inside on a weekend nearly impossible for someone who owns a mountain bike, kayak, three tents and two pairs of hiking shoes.

So, before I venture off into the mountains for the day, I'll leave you with these sneak peeks from my time in New England last week.

Enjoy! xo.

Little Hudson - melting hearts everywhere.

Mela - aka - bright eyes.
