a small collection

I never knew I had a thing for chicken butts. Well, more specifically, their gorgeous buttockal plumage. (I think I just made up a really awesome word there). Whenever I’m outside, I keep my eyes peeled for stray feathers. I also somewhat regularly remind Dave to tell me when he plans to harvest the barred rock roosters because just look at all their gorgeous feathers. I might have a problem but I think what it really means is that I’ve officially adjusted to farm life.

I couldn’t decide if I liked the colour or black and white version better so you can see the black and white version here. Also, for some reason, my collection of feathers in my pretty purple bowl remind me of this band. Happy Friday! Xo.

Lisa - These are so beautiful! And I’m so happy that you’ve found your niche on the farm!

If there’s one thing Amanda knows how to do, it’s throw an amazing birthday party. Her little boys are blessed to have such a crafty and talented Mom who loves them so much. Every year their birthdays are such a special celebration and I’m always honoured to be invited back to document the occasion. I’m almost starting to feel like part of the family now!

Lisa - These remind me so much of Amy Atlas. :) Such detail!

Jen and Alex welcomed Aaron James to this big beautiful world on April 20th. Dave and I were elated to hear the good news for two reasons – new babies in the family are always exciting AND Aaron shares Dave’s birthday! (We’ll never forget the date!).

Jen and I were hoping to get some cute, sleepy baby shots but Aaron had a different idea. Jen couldn’t believe how wide awake he was… apparently I was there to capture the most wide awake moment of his life by that point. So we hung out and I snapped some shots of Jen trying to get Aaron to sleep and Jonah buzzing around being a great big brother. Turns out we didn’t get the cute sleeping baby shots but we sure as heck got some cute wide awake baby shots!
