4th on the Farm

I LOVE the 4th of July! To me, it’s the epitome of summer time…fireworks, beautiful weather, good food, and time with friends. That sounds so cheesy but I don’t care, I still love it! I spent this weekend visiting my boyfriend <insert country accent> “down on the farm”… Polyface Farm that is. Polyface is an amazing place-you should check it out!

So, in true 4th of July fashion, I watched fireworks in Staunton, got to spend time with awesome people, and ate delicious “beyond organic” Polyface food!

Here are some pics from my fun-on-the-farm weekend…can’t wait to go back!

We went fishing and I caught a fish!… but I didn’t want to hold it… haha

Here is Matt…

…and here is Matt’s photography skills at work! Thanks Matt, and I love the “off-centered-artsy” look :)

I have one word for the next few… Stud!

One of the many things I learned this weekend is that pigs may look cute, but they literally have the loudest squeals of any living creature! My ears would not stop ringing after this!Here is Michael, the guard dog…I love him!

Until next time…

Meet Beverly | Boston, MA Portraits

I wish I had more time in the day…enough time to have a full time job (not photography) and still edit all the pictures that I want to share. The reality is- I don’t. This past weekend, I got to go to Boston with my roommates Bev and Steph. We decided to do a little “portrait sesh” while we were there. I, of course, took TONS more pics, but this one caught my eye and I thought I would put it up to hold Bev over until i get the rest done! :) I hope you love it Bevy- You are gorgeous and i promise to put more up soon.

I’m off to San Francisco tomorrow, so stay tuned for more fun pics from my jet-setting adventures!

In the meantime, Enjoy my beautiful friend Beverly!

evelyn - she is beautiful indeed.July 6, 2010 - 9:37 pm
