For many reasons, this winter feels like it has been the longest winter of my life. I do believe that Minnesota had the most days with temperatures below zero out of the entire country. All those cold days allowed me to stay inside, snuggle my fast-growing newborn and dream of warmer weather.

Tonight, i’m feeling SO ready for a warm summer evening. Slight breeze, golden sun, and air warm enough to wear sandals. A night pretty close to this one, actually. I am so excited for photographing beautiful evenings again WITHOUT going numb. I promise, i’m not complaining, i’m just REALLY excited! So many great adventures ahead!
