{This is my neighbor R, isn’t she cute?

She was over the other day playing with my boys in the snow

and I grabbed her for an impromptu photo shoot! So fun!}

 

 

Today it was 8 degrees when I woke up

and weather.com said it “felt like -5”

and it did!

The positive thing is its sunny,

and that for me makes all the difference.

What’s surprising to me is that our family adjusting to Rhode Island winters

has been easier than I would have expected.

If you would have told me back in CA that I would be living in temps like this

(yesterday it was 80 degrees in my CA hometown)

I would have cried and ran away screaming!

But its actually a fun change ~

 I only say that because nothing is permanent

and

its just a season!

Soon spring will be here, then summer.

One thing that living here has done,

is allow me to make the best of it by taking photos

that I would have never been able to take back in Ventura County, CA

like the ones pictured here.

And I am having fun taking these new pics

trying new things,

and braving the cold temps for now.

Tomorrow I am off to CA for just 3 days  for photo sessions!

Its supposed to drop from the high 70s to the low 60s while I am there,

but it will feel like Hawaii compared to today’s weather here in RI!

You would think I was excited, but Its always really hard leaving my family.

I am passionate about creating art, so I feel extremely blessed

to have a job that allows me to travel and create all year round!

A HUGE thank you to all of my devoted clients!!

Until next time,

{this little heart below is for you}
