HOLIDAY CARDS

Flat-5x7-0018

This year I'm partnering with Tiny Prints & Minted to provide personalized holiday (or thank you!) cards. They both have a terrific selection and many beautiful options.

For those of you who already have your CD, ordering through one of the storefronts below will ensure that a photo credit is provided to Orchard Cove on the back of your card which would be most appreciated.

Tiny Prints: Visit my storefront via the link below and click the blue button that says "request photograph" if you don't already have your CD (or send me an email with the image number you'd like to use). From there you'll work directly with Tiny Prints to customize and order your cards.

Minted: Email me the image number you'd like to use and I'll upload it to the site and email you a key to access the photo. From there you'll work directly with Minted to customize and order your cards.

PINHOLE PRESS

PIHOLE

For those of you who have your images on a CD and would like to create unique gifts for family and friends I'd suggest you check out Pinhole Press.

They offer a wide selection of really simply and beautifully designed products that I feel offer a bit something more than what you would get at the more generic consumer sites. Their calendars, notepads, and drawing pads I find especially useful.

PERSONAL

I have a huge number of photos yet to be blogged so as it gets cold I can be transported back to warm summer and fall days :)

Some fun Fia pictures from earlier this fall
My friend Jen had her second daughter and I luckily was in town just six days later so I could take some newborn photos!
My friends have cute babies! I went over to Grant's house for dinner and couldn't resist taking some snaps!
Flashback to summer and this beautiful foggy morning
For my friend Wendy's birthday in late August we went across to the Adirondacks and hiked a mountain - perfect!
Sage turned 3!

This was one of my busiest months yet for portraits....I love watching kids grow up!

Aidan & Briget were fun seven year old twins
Owen & Kaitlyn braved chilly temps to come play with me
I first met Kira & Bode in January of this year and loved photographing them this fall when they were visiting VT!
I've been meaning to meet up with my former clients Elizabeth and Gregg to meet their adorable son Keelan in DC for a year - it finally worked out!

These next few families I've photographed for the past six years - pretty neat!

Natalie & James had such active imaginations and loved exploring the woods with me
I met up with Patrick & his Brothers for senior photos and some updated family photos

PRESS

Cover-0001

Submitting weddings are often something that gets pushed to the back burner at this busy time of year but one very exciting piece of press that did come out was that my photo was featured on the cover of the recent Vermont Wedding Style E-Lookbook and then inside Kate & Finn's beautiful wedding was covered more extensively. This is an e-magazine so click on over and have a look!

RECOMMENDATIONS

the-dovekeepers

I've been reading a lot lately and have some good recommendations to share with you....

I really enjoyed "The Dovekeepers"
I read a bunch of other books these past few months and finally had time to list them!

Recently I visited a school book sale and picked up $11 books for $11 so my shelf is full and I've already read two! Last night I started "The Sharper Your Knife The Less You Cry" which I'm enjoying already
