Snow day!

December 27th, 2010

I rarely do personal posts anymore. I couldn’t decide to keep them here, or start a new blog for them. I decided to keep them here because I think above all, you want to make a connection with me, not just my photos. If you connect with something on the personal side, even better! That, and keeping two blogs sounds like a pain to me. :)

In Boston last night and today, we got something like a foot of snow. I have never seen it snow like this since moving from Maine to Boston 4 years ago! Being from Maine, I’m used to the 24″ here, 16″ there types of storms. There is something so cozy about busting out the bean boots, snowshoes, and a thermos of coffee + Allen’s coffee brandy and heading into the woods! A friend of mine from college who’s last name is Allen called it “allen’s allen’s coffee brandy coffee”, awesome, right? There isn’t really a place do go snowshoeing here, although I might wear mine on the trek into the office tomorrow.

I also got my 50mm back from repairs today..It’s been gone for 5 weeks! I don’t know how I survived, but I had to take it outside to test out the fixes. I think it’s sharper, is it sharper? It’s sharper…




Emma stares outside every minute that she is inside. She is seen here sporting her most favorite & Unlimited tote bag :-p


Do you think I should move my personal posts to a new blog?

family time!

It’s been a while since I’ve had a free weekend with no photo shoots and decided to take it easy, it is *freezing* here after all! We have dog walkers who take Emma to “the fells” every mon/weds/fri and when we asked where it is that they go, the directions seemed so simple yet we would always get lost. The place we would end up stopping was beautiful for sure, but we never saw other dogs around. After reading the boston dog blog Fidoloves.com that had a specific map with directions to the spot where people take their dogs, we headed out! There were so many dogs and Emma had a freakin’ blast! Isn’t she the cutest?!
