365: Day 14

Today was a gorgeous, rare, 60 degree day! At lunchtime, a few of us went for a walk around campus and ran into our friend Gilly who was sporting these amazing earrings! I love them!

365: Day 13

Happy Sunday Funday! Tonight I watched the Patriots game with some amazing friends. This is a picture of the Patriots logo on my shirt using the iBooth app, kaleidoscope setting. The "EW" you can see if from "New England" and the star in the middle is from the patriot's hat. 

365: Day 12

If you know the Williams girls at all, you know that Miss America is a legit holiday for us. The tradition started out with my grandma in the 50's. The pageant used to fall on the opening weekend of deer hunting season, so when my grandpa and his brothers would venture out the hunting camp, all the women would get together for a girls weekend and would watch Miss America. Well, the tradition still continues even though we are all spread throughout the U.S.. I invited these lovely ladies to join me (tiaras and all) to watch Miss America while we Skyped in with my mom and sister in Upper Michigan and called my grandma in lower Michigan. It was a fun, girly night!

365: Day 11

As I climbed in my car after babysitting last night, this was the view through my windshield. Rain in January? Don't worry, I was parked when taking this.

365: Day 10

 "I Love You" in sign language. The shadow of the sign is facing backwards as if it is pointing back at me. One of my new year's resolution is to learn to love myself more this year.The afternoon sun was shining through the windows onto the front surface of our office desk creating the diamond pattern. The "I Love You" sign means a lot to me because this is how my family waves goodbye to each other. When leaving either of my grandparents house, we would always stick our hands out the window and wave like this all the way down the road until we couldn't see them anymore. I still do this!

365: Day 9

One of my favorite foods! My dad grew up on an asparagus farm, so it always makes me think of him!

365: Day 8

On my way home from work, 10 huge turkeys casually walked across the road in front of me, taking their merry time. Today, I saw them again on my way to work and one of them charged at my car! They look all nice and innocent here, but they are not! Also, trivia for the day, a group of turkeys can be called a rafter or a gang. This was definitely a gang.

365: Day 7

Happy birthday to my friend and co-worker Xio! We surprised her with a birthday cake in her office and even sang to her!

365: Day 6

It was a gorgeous sunny day, so my friend Chelsea and I took her dog, Hooper, for a walk along the Dover Trails. He was clearly happy about being able to run around!

365: Day 5

From sunny Puerto Rico to icy New Hampshire. I took a walk along the trails at Kingman Farm in Madbury, NH. There is so much beauty that can be found in ice! This was ice that was crystallizing over the surface of a little creek along the path. It's two seasons combining, with the ice on top and the fall leaves sunk on the bottom.

365: Day 4

I was so sad to leave Puerto Rico! It was WAY too quick of a trip. I woke up early on my last day and wondered along the beach attempting to soak up and store as much sun as I could before heading back to the frozen Northeast. It was amazing to watch the huge pelicans dive straight down into the water to catch their breakfast.

365: Day 3

Announcing Mr. and Mrs. Hernandez! The wedding was beautiful and the day after the whole wedding gang, including the bride and groom, hung out together under the palm trees! It was a relaxing day of sipping drinks out of coconuts, splashing in the pool, eating leftover wedding reception food, and swimming in the ocean. It was wonderful!

365: Day 2

Day 2 was the wedding day in Rincon, P.R.. Sherry, the bride, woke me up around 7 a.m. and said I had to come and see the sunrise. I flew out of bed, grabbed my camera and ran outside. In my pajamas and wild morning hair, we wandered down to the beach. Because I got into Rincon so late the night before, I hadn't yet seen everything in the daylight. It was gorgeous! Watching the sunrise over the bright blue ocean with Sherry as we were so giddy about what her wedding day had in store, was one of my favorite memories of the trip! Here is a panoramic view of the beach and the sunrise.

365: Day 1

On New Year's Day I flew into San Juan Puerto, Rico to stand in the wedding of my very close friends, Sherry and Fernando. It didn't hit me that I was going on a tropical island vacation until I looked down and saw the sunny land of San Juan!

 

 

Announcing The 365 Project!

You may have noticed the I stopped my 52 Week Project after Week 6. Well, the reason I stopped it was because I wanted to challenge myself more than just taking a photo a week for the year. I am finally doing it! I am doing The 365 Project! Some of you may have heard about this already, but I will be taking a photo a day for the entire year. I started it on January 1st and will continue it all the way through until December 31st!
It is a huge challenge, but something I am so ready for!

Perret Family Photos

I am finally posting the rest of the Perret Family photos. I had so much fun with this lovely couple and their three gorgeous pups. We got the photo shoot in just in time before Hurricane Sandy hit!

 

Senior Photo Session with Josh

Last weekend I did a photo shoot with high school senior, Josh. Josh is a big military history buff, so we took the photos as Fort Constitution in New Castle, NH.

A Sneak Peek at the Perret Family Photoshoot

Minneapolis Zoo Photoshoot

A few weeks ago I traveled to Minneapolis for work. It was so great to be back in Minnesota! I got to see old friends and visit some fun places. My friend Megan works at the Minneapolis Zoo, so in between my morning and evening college fairs, I visited her and took some photos of the animals during the break. Thanks Megan for a fun afternoon!

One-a-Day: FINAL DAY- Day 108

Today was my last photo-a-day for the summer! I cannot believe how quickly this summer flew by! 

I wanted this final picture to be a fun one, so I asked my friends at our Labor Day BBQ to pose for me. :)

One-a-Day: Day 107

This weekend I helped my friends Sherry and Fernando move into their new house. My friend Chelsea and I used to live here! I hope this house treats them as well as it did for us. It will be a great home for them as they build their new life together (they are getting married in January).

One-a-Day: Day 106

Jaclyn was a breath-takingly beautiful bride. Here she is getting getting ready moments before seeing her groom!

One-a-Day: Day 105

This past weekend I had the honor of officiating my good friends Jaclyn and Rob's wedding. Here is the couple enjoying a quiet moment after the wedding rehearsal.

One-a-Day: Day 104

My friend Chelsea discovered this little walking path the other morning while taking her dog for a walk. Later that afternoon we walked all the way to the end. It was such a great discovery!

One-a-Day: Day 103

On the way home from work, as I stopped at a red light, I spotted this scene. I'm not sure what they were doing, but the colors caught my eyes.
