Photo-a-Day: Day 1

What better way to kick off the photo-a-day challenge than with an adorable baby picture? This Saturday, my good friend Sherry graduated from the University of New Hampshire with her Master in Education. We had a cookout at New Castle Commons to celebrate the event. This is another friends little boy, Tucker. He was very happy to be a part of the celebration!

Photo-a-Day Summer Challenge Begins!

Hi everyone!

Well, it has been a very busy spring and I am finally back to updating my blog!

I have not done a photography challenge in a while and enjoyed last summer's photo-a-day challenge so much, that I wanted to do it again. I started the challenge on Saturday, since it was the last day our UNH students were here on campus before they headed off for the summer. So, the challenge will run from graduation day until the first day of the school year. Enjoy!

Random Old Favorites

I was going through some of my old photos tonight and thought I would share a few with you!

It's Been Way Too Long!

I have definitely been taking plenty of photos in the past few months. I just haven't been as good about uploading them. Here are a few of my more recent shoots.

This is my new niece: Edyn Macie Lishinski. She is so gorgeous!

I did a holiday photo shoot for the Short Family who I babysit for. We had so much fun!

A couple of months ago I had the privilege of photographing a co-worker and friend of mine during her last few weeks of pregnancy. She was absolutely beautiful!

California Sunshine

I have not posted pictures in quite awhile as I have been traveling on and off for the past two months.

One of the places I was fortunate enough to visit was California. It was beautiful! I spent a day in Santa Monica, a day in Santa Barbara, a day in the Ojai area, two days in Walnut Creek, and two days in San Francisco. It was wonderful. Definitely a place I need to get back to for sure. Here are a few highlights from the trip. Enjoy!

Beautiful day on campus!

One-a-Day: Day 81

As I was driving home late last night, I looked at my dashboard and thought it would make a pretty cool picture. Notice I did not photograph and drive. I waited to take the shot until I was safely parked!

One-a-Day: Day 80

This is one of my favorite parts about working on a college campus; the beginning of the school year. It is so great to have the campus feel alive again. Don't get me wrong, I love the summer, but it is nice to have our students back and to get to see all the freshmen walking around that you know you recruited and admitted. Here is the symbol of UNH; gorgeous Thompson Hall. The T-Hall lawn is a favorite place for students to play frisbee or work on homework.

One-a-Day: Day 79

Beautiful beach rose at sunset in York, Maine.

One-a-Day: Day 78

Monday was supposed to be the first day of school at the University of New Hampshire, but due to the power outs from the storm, school was cancelled, which also meant, I did not have to go into work! It ended up being a gorgeous day, and since I was also still without power, I decided what better way to spend it than at the beach, even if it was still too dangerous to go in the water.

One-a-Day: Day 77

Hurricane Irene hit the seacoast of New Hampshire, but we were very lucky. There was little damage, with mostly just power-out issues. I was without power that night as the hurricane moved on. So, I headed over to a friend's house (who had power) for an MTV Video Music Awards Party. We dressed up and even had a red carpet. It was a great way to have fun after a day of wild weather! Here is my friend Meagan strutting her stuff on the red carpet.

One-a-Day: Day 76

York, ME. People out on the beach watching the waves begin to roll in with the start of the hurricane.

One-a-Day: Day 75

I took Friday off of work to enjoy a lovely day at the beach before the hurricane hit. This was sign outside of the surf shop.

One-a-Day: Day 74

Hurricane Delay

Sorry for the delay in posting my photo of the day! I have been taking pictures everyday, but Hurricane Irene knocked out the power to my apartment, so I am just getting them uploaded now!

One-a-Day: Day 73

I recieved a beautiful bouquet of sunflowers delivered to me at work this week. This is the morning sunshine coming through my work window and lighting up the flowers on my desk. Pretty great way to start the day!

Starfruit!
