These are the photos that, for whatever reason, really touch my heart and make me happy. These are the photos that may not be technically perfect, but hold much meaning and feeling for me. These are the photos that tell some of our story this year. These are {some of} my favorites of '08.
On the ferry after visiting the Statue of Liberty. This was a wonderful family outing, my kids really seemed to get the meaning of Lady Liberty, and the ferry ride back was serene.
Visiting Letchworth State Park in NY was so much fun. The sights were gorgeous and we all enjoyed camping, hiking, and hanging out as a family. My husband made sure that I got time to explore and photograph the area - our world is beautiful!
I have a deep love for the ocean and the rocky shoreline we have here in the Northeast. This was another trip where I was able to spend time photographing our world. I could just sit and listen to the waves crashing on the shore for hours - it is so relaxing and meditative for me! Montauk doesn't disappoint. {Neither do wide angle lenses :-)}
Fortunately my family loves the ocean as much as I do! They can skip rocks, search for sea glass, and chase waves for hours. And I just love watching them so carefree and content.
This was such a special day. We went to Vermont for skiing and sightseeing. I couldn't ski because I was pregnant so my husband wanted to make sure I was able to have a photo journey. The weather was bitterly cold and the snow was piling up, but my husband insisted we still venture around the area...and it was glorious!
Birthdays are so special...as are the secret wishes one makes.
A happy smile from my beautiful daughter makes me want to stop time forever.
Children & bubbles...a match made in heaven.
She is a wonder through and through. She can be so girly yet so headstrong and tough. She loves dressing up and exploring. Getting her to pause for a moment is a treasure!
My baby came early and reminded me once again how incredibly special life is and how deep love can be for someone you've only just met.
They are my world and I love how tender she can be with her brother.
There just aren't words to describe how much he means to me.
Two of my favorite boys. My husband was a real trooper putting up with all of my ideas for capturing pictures of the two of them!
A huge moment in this six year old's life...he lost his 1st tooth! After all, he and been waiting FOREVER for it to fall out!
Getting a photo of one child smiling is often challenging, but all four?! A treasure so rare that I will totally look past the technical flaws here! Gotta love mommy goggles. :-)
This shot sums up a happy Christmas morning...being in the moment, loving the surprises, and finding joy together.
I hope that 2009 is filled with much more living in the moment, lots of happy surprises, daily delights, and total carefree joy for all.
