Just before the win­ter hit, we had a new walk­way put in…finally. It’s been too long! As always, here is a time-lapse video for your enjoyment.

Welcome to the new face of the Photos for Life blog!

After much hand-wringing, design notes, plan­ning, design­ing, draw­ing, design­ing and plan­ning, the new look for the blog is finally live. A more pol­ished look, eas­ier on the eyes, and hope­fully eas­ier to find what you’re look­ing for.

In case you’re won­der­ing, this is what a plan for a blog looks like:

Well, part of it anyway.

Enjoy!

This is my niece Halle and Charlie the Dog mak­ing snow angels. I hope you all had a hol­i­day filled with as much joy as this.

I met up with these two while they were in town over the hol­i­days. We wan­dered around the mar­ket, cre­at­ing some neat stuff for their engage­ment ses­sion. Can’t wait for your wed­ding guys!

For Monica and Dave’s fourth Year in the Life ses­sion, they and the rest of their extended fam­ily went to Stanley’s Maple Lane Farm for an old fash­ioned horse-drawn sleigh ride. The weather was per­fect: sunny, and right after the freez­ing rain, so all the bare trees were lit up with a coat of ice.

We hung around in the barn for a bit, and then we were off on the sleigh ride!

About halfway through the ride, all the kids were let off to romp around in the snow:

The freez­ing rain had cre­ated a layer of ice over the snow, and the big thing was to smash it over your head.

A great time was had by all.

Highly rec­om­mended if you have kids of that age.
