Clamming in Maine

Clamming in Maine? Why not?! My Aunt and Uncle asked us to join them at low tide to dig for clams- something I had never done. Pumped, I bundled up... and prepared the camera. I mean really...

Family + Sunset + Ocean + Something Wicked Maine = Great Photo Opportunity

Hello, Atlantic Ocean!

Love this silhouette of the clammer working hard

Mom's Birthday

Sunday we celebrated my Mom's birthday and it called for a new CHERISHING THE LITTLE! 
It was amazing to be able to spend it with her and my family. Spending time together is more precious than any gift could've been. Cheers to celebrating the amazing woman that inspires me to be a better person every day. 


She's typically a little camera shy but opened up to a mini photo shoot in the backseat:)

My parents on the beautiful wintery day.

  I said beautiful... and meant it.

My brother and his now fiance. Congratulations Diana and Chris! So happy for you two!

The beautiful day turned into a beautiful night.

Craig loves getting his picture taken (sense my sarcasm:-)

Spring Hill for a special dinner. Was excited to check out this restaurant as I've been hearing my parents rave about it over the past year. If you're looking for a special treat with delicious, fresh food... and an atmosphere where you can sit and enjoy your dinner without feeling rushed, check it out. It's definitely worth the road trip to South Berwick, Maine!

Cheers to cherishing the little

Chris has always loved his photo being taken - NOT. Thanks for behaving, Chris. What a photogenic couple, Diana & Chris!

All of us - the growing family.

Maine Water

Want beautiful water- ocean, lakes, and rivers? Maine's got it. Growing up with the Maine water in my backdoor, I didn't fully appreciate it. It wasn't until going to college when I started cherishing the little moments by the Maine water. 

I perused through my old shots and found some of my favorites. Enjoy!

Taking a stroll down Pine Point Beach at dusk. Fishermen hoping to get lucky and catch a big one for dinner. 

 The other side of Pine Point Beach toward Old Orchard Beach.

One of my all-time favorite places to go while in Maine, Fort Williams State Park. It's home to the oldest lighthouse in Maine, Portland Head Light. Such a great place for a picnic with family and friends!

Another perfect picnic spot is Portland Breakwater Light, more commonly known as "Bug Light."

Mt. Katahdin in the beautiful backdrop before white water rafting the Penobscot River.

Love taking the ferry to Peak's Island, a quick 3-miles from downtown Portland. Below is a view from one of the island's beaches.

My mom discovered a new gem for me, Fort Popham. She said I had to go with her and twisted my arm. When Roxanne is persistent, she usually has a valid reason... We went to Phippsburg to explore.

Built originally in 1861 for the Civil War, and then used again during the Spanish American War and World War I, you can feel the history.

Since I covered the ocean and river, it's time for a lake. So many great memories at "Big" and "Little" Sebago, Long Lake, and more.

Cheers to Cherishing the Little moments by the water

Savannah, Georgia

Quaint, historic, southern charm- Savannah, Georgia. I had always heard wonderful things about Savannah but then experiencing it, it still blew me away.

There's something spectacular about looking out your hotel room on the river and seeing a massive cargo ship go by.

The walk along the river is lined with cobble stone, quaint shops, restaurants, and friendly southern folks.

Like the river area is not cool enough, there are heaps of squares throughout the city. While Craig was disappointed that the place where 90% of Forest Gump was filmed had been removed, I still cherished that square and all the others (he did too!). I took the next photo and absolutely love the framing, fountain, moss, and positioning of the strangers.

Something quaint and charming about a city with so much history! This portrait was of Hernando de Soto.

Lastly, the sunsets were unreal! I know it's something that happens every day but how often do we take the time to truly appreciate it? Usually a special occasion like a vacation...
We cherished it!

Cheers to Cherishing the Little
