We went on a hike to Raven Rock State Park the other weekend. The leaves were just beautiful and the weather was perfect. I really enjoyed every part of that walk and I was able to capture some irreplacable photos of Dean and his Dad. One of me too and some awesome photos of the changing foliage.

Last fall, I had cut this paragraph out from my “Whole Living” magazine. I love the perspective the writing gives you and I love this magazine’s vision, in general.  If only I could portray my thoughts so fluidly…someday! I thought I would share this with you…

Reinvigorate:

Change is in the air. You can see it, of course, with the colors transforming and all of nature’s moving parts starting to shiver and spin. But you can also feel it-the elemental shift that happens internally, viscerally. You begin to crave warmer foods and cozier corners. You find yourself growing quieter, more aware, each sense sharpening. Indulge in the richness while you can, letting the shift in season invigorate your health, enliven your home, draw you more completely inside. This is, after all, what harvest time is for: REAPING WHAT YOU SOW, GATHERING UP YOUR TREASURES, AND HOLDING THEM, WITH GRATITUDE, IN BOTH HANDS. – Terri Trespicio, October 2009, wholeliving.com

 My treasures:

I took these photos of Dean on our back deck and just in time we had a storm the night after which blew all of the beautiful yellow leaves off.

Happy early Thanksgiving!

Enjoy and be grateful, Samantha

Good morning!

I thought I would share these photos of my nephew, Charles. We took these while they visited NC last week. I hope you enjoy these, Samantha

beautiful kids.

Hello! More photos for you to preview!  I love all of these maternity photos and I am so excited to meet Baby Reagan when she makes her appearance in December. Kim is a good friend of mine and it was a fun time photographing her family and belly. To see photos of her family from last year, please click the link.

Thanks & enjoy, Samantha

I had taken their maternity photos (click the link to view) at the end of July and now Baby Tully is here! I was so happy to meet her and take some time to capture her at one month old. I just love the colors and energy throughout these photos.

Hope you enjoy these photos, S

I think these bottom photos really capture the connection of mother and baby. Love it!

I love the fall colors of the trees with their bright orange shirts. I took this session over a month ago in Minnesota and have been catching up ever since. So I am happy to finally have the preview up of this good-looking bunch! Four more family previews to come.

Enjoy, Samantha

We appreciate all that you do. Thank you very much!

On my trip home to Minnesota last month I was able to photograph two weddings. This wedding was for my good friend from highschool, Lindsey, it was so great to see her and everyone again! This wedding was just awesome, such good energy, love and perfect weather. I was so happy to be apart of it. The colors were so vibrant and I think they made for gorgeous photographs.

Enjoy and have a nice weekend! Samantha

A very special thanks to Rebecca, my second photographer, you were so much help and took amazing photographs!!
