Greetings!

I'm writing from Pennslylvania where I'm visiting my Dad for the week. I have a clear view out to his cherry trees which are in full blossom and it's supposed to get up to 85 today - spring is definitely here!

Read on below for the latest news including a Facebook contest raising money for a great charity.

Take care,

Amanda

It's been a quiet month (I like to think of it as the calm before my fun storm!) and we've been home most weekends - my favorite!

I'm almost done blogging about my New Zealand adventures...one more week to go. Catch up on my last few weeks....
- Doubtful Sound
- Fox Glacier
- West Coast
- Nelson Lakes National Park & Abel Tasman
- Wine Country & The Marlborough Sounds

My Dad and I flew west in mid-February (where does the time go?) to visit my Brother who lives outside of San Francisco. From there we drove north to the Avenue of the Giants where we saw the Redwoods - simply magical. That part of the country is so beautiful and in the off season it was relatively quiet!
- Mendocino
- Avenue of the Giants

A few other highlights:
- A winter trip to Vermont
- Go Karting with old friends
- A Strider & Sage cuteness update :)
- I had tea with my friend's daughter Ellie :)

It's getting to be that time of year.....engagement photos followed by many beautiful summer weddings - I can't wait!

In early March my good friend Nikki got married in New Orleans on Canal Street. It was a very informal wedding and one chock full of love - very fun to be a second photographer and to be photographing such a close friend!

A few weeks ago I met up with Jon & Alex who are getting married this fall in Vermont at The Hermitage.

This week I'm doing a southern tour and will be photographing four couples so the May e-newsletter will provide links to those images :)

I delivered many beautiful albums leading up to Christmas and am playing catch up blogging all of them....

A few yummy recipes we've tried this month:
