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!!
2020 Picture a Day Project | May | Dickinson Center NY Family Photographer
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).
2020 Picture a Day Project | April | Dickinson Center NY Family Photographer
Wow - can't believe another month has flown by despite the Covid 19 quarantine. I started making facial masks on Palm Sunday and ended the month breaking the 200 mark - wow - I think I can make these in my sleep at this point lol!! We purchased some baby chicks and are looking forward to fresh eggs hopefully at the end of the summer. It's finally feeling like spring and I've been enjoying getting outside to walk and hang clothes on the line to dry. I took part in photography challenge where were to replicate an old painting - the picture with the flowers on my dress was my interpretation of a painting I liked. Rick helped over to Amanda's place leveling out their yard to get it ready for grass seed and transplanted some raspberry bushes as well. I picked rocks in the back portion of our property with the hopes of a beautiful sunflower field later this summer (if all goes well). Looking forward to the loosening of Covid 19 restrictions in NY in the months to follow and a drastic decrease in cases and deaths around the world!!
2020 Picture a Day Project | March | Dickinson Center NY Family Photographer
March just flew by! We experienced the spread of the Coronavirus (Covid 19) and the implementation of social distancing. We stocked up on supplies and food and were lucky to get toilet paper and lisol wipes before the shelves went bare. I celebrated my 60th birthday quietly and missed getting everybody together. So strange to watch church online but grateful for the technology to do so. Apprehensive and concerned for what lies ahead for April but praying for all those affected, for those on the front lines caring for the sick and those doing the jobs to keep our country functioning. I watched the TV benefit concert and this line from Alicia Keys performance eerily lingers on my mind - ..."people on the front line knowing they don't get to run...." - WOW!!
