Today I turned 34!! Wow. Time has flown by way too fast. I have had quite an amazing day today – we got some beautiful snow, and Erik and I got to shoot an engagement session with an awesome couple. Then Erik took me out to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Kolam in Newtown, CT. The day couldn’t have been better. I am not going to get mushy here, but I did want to say that I am so grateful for all the people who I have known a long time, and also to the people who have recently come into my life. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by so many supportive and just plain awesome people. And of course, my amazing husband Erik. Thank you for your empathy when I needed it, for the hugs when I needed them, for the jokes when I needed them, and for the support when I needed it too. Thanks for knowing what I need, when I don’t know myself ; ) And mostly, thanks for showing me that I can be at my very worst and you will love me even more. I am grateful for all that I have learned in the past 34 years – and there have been a lot of learning experiences for sure. I am looking forward to all the experiences that are to come!

On that note I will leave you with some pics of me as a kid. Please excuse the poor quality scans of really old photographs.

Here is the infamous picture that my family has laughed about for years:

And one that I love that my Dad took and developed in our darkroom.
