This week I'm in New Hampshire visiting some cherished friends. This is the fourth year in a row that I've made the trip out to spend a week with them in January. People always say it's a horrible time to visit New Hampshire but I look at it as my opportunity to play in the snow and experience winter for a week. This is the view from my window on the third floor. It's a good change of scene from the one out my window in Arizona.
I just think it's absolutely beautiful here. I could ride around in the car for hours looking at all the gorgeous colorful homes with snow-covered roofs. I wish I could transport a historical colonial mustard colored house to Arizona. And I'd like to have a red barn out back. But alas, we have nothing of the sort. So I just drool over them here and wonder what life is like for the people who live in them.
I absolutely adore this family. I have been friends with Shannon & Andy for 15 years and we have the type of friendship were we can just instantly reconnect on a deep level even though we live across the country from each other and don't keep up with each other on a regular basis as much as I'd like. We've just lived through a lot of the good and tough of life together and we connect in our souls.
Each time I come out I of course bring my camera along and I love what Shannon has done with the photos in their home. Rarely do I get to see how people live with the photos I take so whenever I do, it's a huge treat. There are SO many great memories on the wall in the top photo of this post and on this one:

I also love that I can see my progression as a photographer in the images. I cringe at a few of them from my early years. But I guess that's a good thing. Growth is always good.
So many people pick only the smiling-and-looking-right-at-the-camera photos for their walls but I love that Shannon including images like this one:

And this one...
They really show the personalities of her kids at different ages.
It's so good to be here. I'll be blogging about my trip throughout the week so I hope you'll check back!
