Swings!

Today we made it to the park for a little bit. The little kiddos were having a lot of fun on the swings, so I grabbed some pictures. These photos just say "summer!" to me. What says summer to you?

Down by the river....

One of my favorite things about summer is a standing playdate with long-time "baby" friends. I've known this family since our first children were 4 and 6 months old. It's good that we have a standing playdate, because, occasionally, when that standing playdate gets lost amoungst the chaos of preschoolers and toddlers, months slip by too quickly. I feel very fortunate to have such an understanding friend to discuss mothering with while the kids get outside and play! Thanks for letting me start my blog with you!

It's a start!

I have loved taking pictures since I received my first camera when I was eight years old. All through school I took thousands of pictures and created collages with them. In college, I discovered the joys of photoshop and playing with the images. In more recent years, I've photographed my children (of course!) and the children of friends as an enthusiastic hobbyist. Hikes became about what I could photograph along the way. This spring, chance gave me two fantastic opportunities - providing photos for Kevin and Amy's Wedding and Montana Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star. I love taking photos, and have decided I need to share them! I hope to update this blog several times a week with new photos I've taken. Thanks to all my friends who have helped along the way with my photographic journey. Enjoy!
