Kate + Chris = Married {The Maplewood – Bethlehem, New Hampshire}

This is Kate. Who, when I first met her said….”I’m not photogenic at all, I’m sorry.” Um. Okay. Ha.

Kate’s grandmother’s vintage pearls. I not going to lie- I’m obsessed. Like for reals…I think I’m going to have my Mr. get me some BIG FAT pearls for our 10th anniversary or something.

Because Chris & Kate were married in the evening, and it was early Spring, they opted to do a first look….which worked out perfectly. {And side note- this abandoned church is going to be used for one of my couples this August…ek!}

Really. I’m-not-photogenic? I love these two- inside and out!

I love pink. Kate loves pink. Match made in heaven.

Everyone involved in this wedding helped with so many, many DIY elements- their first kiss…in front of the ribbon draped arbor. Adorable.

We were loosing light FAST after the ceremony & receiving line…..so I made these girls hustle….but it was worth the work!

Congratulations Mrs. & Mrs. Wood! xoxo

Happy Mother’s Day {a mary oliver poem}

I thought I’d share one of my favorite poems….one that I didn’t appreciate until I was a mother.

{lake champlain, burlington, vermont}

Why I Wake Early

Hello, sun in my face.

Hello, you who make the morning

and spread it over the fields

and into the faces of the tulips

and the nodding morning glories,

and into the windows of, even, the

miserable and the crotchety-

best preacher that ever was,

clear star, that just happens

to where you are in the universe

to keep up from ever-darkness,

to ease us with warm touching,

to hold us in the great hands of light -

good morning, good morning,  good morning.

Watch now, how I start the day

In happienss, in kindness.

- Mary Oliver

Pretty Pink Blossoms {Meg’s Wednesday Morning Dining Room Shoot}

On Sunday morning I went out and grabbed this first shot of one of our apple trees- I was so excited that it had finally BLOSSOMED! I was happily surprised that so many of you liked it on Facebook…..really surprised, because almost didn’t even bother posting it! Anywho- it inspired me today to take some more pretty apple blossom shots- it’s a crummy day outside today….but Henry and I played around and took some shots in our dining room. Enjoy! xo


Oh, and my awesome pink curtains? They are Snow & Graham for Garnet Hill flat sheets that I simply cut and hemmed….I LOVE them.

And that silly bike in the garden photo hanging on the wall? It’s one of my old photos- taken on our honeymoon at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe….and was one of my very first magazine covers for WREN <3
