Still here

Hello dear readers!

This is a little update to let you know I have not abandoned this blog. Life has just necessetated a break from the online world.

In the last weeks, I have bid adieu to life as I knew it and moved to a new state to start a new job. I plan to resume blogging soon, chronicling my new adventures. However, it will have to wait until my camera is unpacked and I have internet installed in my new digs.

Stay tuned!

Essay #54: Snowy portraits

Winter's dreary and often inclement weather can be far from ideal for outdoor portraits. However, fresh snow and a cute couple can make for a fun session.
