i see france ...

My Europe trip continues onto Paris where I took the Eurostar down for a day. It was definitely a short but sweet trip! It is surprising how much one can see and get done when you know there is only 9 hours to do it. It was just me and my camera walking around the city, and walking I did! I think the funniest thing I saw was when I walked down a quiet street in the 7th arrondissement and I came across an outdoor cafe with toasters on each table outside. Can you say fire hazard? (see third photo from bottom). The weather was perfect and I thoroughly enjoyed my summer day in Paris!

eiffel tower | paris 2011

I've been to Paris a number of times, so a trip is not complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. This structure just blows my mind each time I go there. The shear greatness of it can be felt as soon as you stand directly below and look up (photo no.3). I didn't have time to walk or take the elevator up due to the horrendous line-ups on this beautiful summer day, but I took it all in with my camera (and a gelato ;-)). I think a large canvas will have to be printed out with one of these images. What is your favorite?

i see london ...

I took a bit of a blogging break as I was doing some summer traveling the past three weeks. I was lucky enough to book a few family photo shoots while away so I am now back home and busy editing and working on my long to do list. Thank you to all of my patient clients who are awaiting their galleries -- I promise they all will be ready very soon.

vermont

A few weekends ago we headed up to Vermont for a little family R&R. Had lots of fun exploring the state and antiquing while the kids ate lots of ice cream, swam all day long, biked at the base of Stratton Mt. and looked out for "bears". The chairs at the Little Rooster Cafe were by far the cutest we have seen. Nothing like sitting on a nest of eggs!

spring break 2011

We flew down to Florida for Spring Break. I have to say it was so nice to get away from the cold and warm ourselves up with the nice hot temperatures. Of course the kids had a fabulous time but mom/dad need a vacation after the vacation. For all of you thinking about booking a spring or summer session I highly recommend emailing or giving me a call to get yourselves on the calendar. I will be doing a bit of traveling over the summer so I would love to schedule everyone early on. I have had a few inquiries about city shoots and I am definitely all for them! Would love to meet your family down in Tribeca, Soho or around the High Line in the Meatpacking District. The colors and textures make for an excellent backdrop.

Thank you to all the families who have booked my Spring Simple Sweet Session on the 30th (try saying that 10 times). All of the times have been booked but if I get more interest I might put on another day since Father's Day is coming up..

dubai

A few days ago at my son's preschool pick-up, some mothers and I were talking about traveling and who has gone without children. I told my story about traveling to Dubai with my husband a couple of years ago. Talking about Dubai and the culture brought back so many memories so I dug through my archives and pulled up my photos. Looking back now I wish I captured so many more images of our time there. It is a very interesting place!
