Welcome, Spring

“If ever there were a spring day so perfect,
so uplifted by a warm intermittent breeze

that it made you want to throw
open all the windows in the house

and unlatch the door to the canary’s cage,
indeed, rip the little door from its jamb,

a day when the cool brick paths
and the garden bursting with peonies

seemed so etched in sunlight
that you felt like taking

a hammer to the glass paperweight
on the living room end table,

releasing the inhabitants
from their snow-covered cottage

so they could walk out,
holding hands and squinting

into this larger dome of blue and white,
well, today is just that kind of day.”

Poet Billy Collins nails it and SPRING is finally here. While we don’t feel like we’ve emerged completely from the woods, the dense, dark and intense forest we’ve all been walking the last year, our family is welcoming the first breezes, bees buzzing, birds chirping and flowers blooming. Let’s keep our heads up, folks. Welcome, Spring!

Ready for Spring? Orchard portrait sessions

I recently watched a movie about Mary Shelley – the author of the book Frankenstein. In it, Shelley creates a character literally stitched together to be a human and the creature experiences great loneliness. In fact, he becomes a symbol for loneliness and is perceived as a monster. Sad, right? But it made me think about shorthand and symbols and what’s next for us this year. And I thought of something much, much lighter: spring.

I know, maybe it’s the daffodils that burst through first with such reckless optimism and hope on warm February days, but one of the symbols of spring for me are the blossoms that we photograph each year at our favorite orchards. I think of Easter, of blooms, of families, rebirth, sun and warmth and I always, always think of these orchards we love so much.

peaches, but no blossoms, are just as wonderful!

As the coming weeks bring warmer temps and longer days (March 10th begins daylight savings, gang), we will be scheduling outdoor portrait sessions in these orchards for newly engaged couples, families, Easter photos, and shots of friends and families who just want to celebrate a milestone or celebrate spring.
