    It’s beginning to sound a lot like… – Southern Maine Family and Pet Photographer {Emily Michelle Photography}

    Christmas!

    At least around my studio it is. I feel like Santa Claus: making a list, checking it twice, and wrapping each package with love and care. Of course I’d like to think that every time a client opens an order it feels like Christmas, but do I think there’s something extra special about deliveries made this time of year. It’s also the time of year for holiday cards, and I’ve spent a lot of time in my workshop studio this past month creating cards for clients.

    Now, I know everyone is different, but I need music when I work. Gets the creative juices flowing and all that. You could point to any one of my sessions and I could probably tell you exactly what album I was listening to at the time. So when I started working on holiday cards a few weeks ago, I figured it was time to break out the Christmas tunes, and the album I put on is one that I’ll be listening to over, and over, and over again, and I still won’t be tired of on December 26th.

    Sufjan Stevens, I ♥ you.

    Autumn Walks – Southern Maine Family and Pet Photographer {Emily Michelle Photography}

    Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

    At the time of year when the scenery can be a bit monochromatic, and the sun may not make an appearance for days, it’s a real treat to find these little places of brightness and color. Nature is a constant source of surprises.

    How can you explain that you need to know that the trees are still there, and the hills and the sky? Anyone knows they are.  How can you say it is time your pulse responded to another rhythm, the rhythm of the day and the season instead of the hour and the minute?  No, you cannot explain.  So you walk.
