2020 Picture a Day Project | July | Dickinson Center NY Child and Family Photographer
WOW - did July fly by! I just love my country garden and held my 1st few Country Garden mini sessions this month - so much fun! The flowers are growing beautifully - so much better than I ever anticipated! I ordered some Christmas backgrounds for my studio and had fun with Myla testing them out. The sunflowers in the sunflower field are growing like crazy and the first bloom appeared. So excited anticipating what it will be like when all the sunflowers bloom - I'm guessing they'll be lots of sunflower pictures in my August grid!!

I just love all the flowers I get to photograph during the summer months as things start to bloom. I can see the sunflower rows forming in my sunflower field and look forward to photographing them as they grow and bloom. We celebrated Ryker's 2nd birthday while camping in Lake George and were so glad my sister Becky and her husband Rick could join us from MA. We returned to church for the 1st time since the Covid shutdown with pews taped off for social distancing and everybody wearing masks - so strange - but so good to be back in the Lord's house on Sundays. I continue to have fun making t-shirt creations with my Cricut machine. Amanda and I made Ryker's "I'm Twoodles" t-shirt while he was napping right before his 2 year old photo session (talk about hot off the press LOL). Rick built the new split rail fence behind my perennial flower garden - as soon as it was complete I renamed my wildflower garden by "Country Garden" - I just love it so much!!

2020 Pre-K/Kindergarten Graduation Mini Sessions | Dickinson Center NY Child Photographer
Had so much fun the last couple of days photographing these sweet faces for my Pre-K/Kindergarden/1st Grade graduation Mini Sessions! This was my first time shooting graduation minis and I love them! All my sweet clients were so cooperative and excited to have their pictures taken - and so excited that they are now on summer vacation!!

Spring has sprung and another month has come and gone.... Snow in the early part of the month gave way to everything greening up. I love the beauty that this time of year brings as the leaves begin to pop and the flowers begin to bloom. Just love my Mother's Day gift from Amanda - 2 jars filled with "I love you because...." notes - reading one each morning is the best way to start my day!! Took Myla's 5th birthday portraits and had my first 2 client sessions since closing for Covid - so glad to be doing what I love again! I decided to transition my wildflower garden from annuals to perennials and planted/transplanted over 120 plants with the helpful planning and guidance from my sister's friend Sue. Planted my sunflower field (2000 seeds) and look forward to it becoming a beautiful spot for pictures by the end of August (keeping my fingers crossed).
