The Uncommon Dandelion

It’s unbelievable what one discovers through a macro lens… :)

What I’ve been up to…

Even though I’ve been on maternity leave from shooting portrait sessions this winter & spring, I certainly haven’t been on maternity leave from my camera. I’ve taken close to 6,000 pictures of my 2 beautiful daughters since January and below I shared a few of my favorites. :)

 

Stayed tuned for news on when I plan to resume shooting portrait sessions this summer!!! :)

Early Spring

It’s hard to believe that just 2 weeks ago we got a major winter storm here in the Northwoods totaling almost 2 feet of snow. This week the temperatures have reached almost 70 degrees and my snowdrops have bloomed…the earliest ever! Hopefully this is an early spring and not a fake out!! ;)

Winter Chill

It’s been pretty cold here in the Northwoods the past few days…but that means beautiful frost crystals! ;)

Welcome Elise!

On January 9, 2012 our family welcomed little Elise Nicole into the world — she has been such a blessing already! Of course I haven’t been able to resist taking lots of pictures of her and below I have shared some of my favorites from her first week of life. :)

Best of Sarah Hall Photography 2011

As I eagerly await the birth of my second child (any day now!), I find myself reflecting back on the year 2011…what a great year it was! I want to thank all my clients for inviting me to photograph their special memories–I had a blast and consider 2011 to have been a wonderful success! In looking back I decided to choose a set of my personal favorites and you can enjoy them below, in no particular order. :)

Microscopic Ice

Some of these ice formations I shot this morning look like tiny little organisms one might examine under a microscope–so cool! :)

Forces of Nature

The sun and the ice–two competing forces that, at just the right moment, join together to create some of the most beautiful and intense displays of nature’s extremes. Enjoy my set of subzero images from this morning at sunrise. :)

West Coast Highlights – San Francisco

Some of you may know that Nick and I took a recent trip out to the west coast. We flew in to southern Oregon, drove down the northern California coast, and ended our adventures in San Francisco. I thought I would do a series of posts highlighting the awesome places we visited!

Our last leg of the trip found us in the fun city of San Francisco. I actually left my camera behind for much our time there, but I did take a few random pictures – enjoy!

This last shot I took from the plane on the flight home:

West Coast Highlights – Yosemite National Park | Tuolumne Meadows

Some of you may know that Nick and I took a recent trip out to the west coast. We flew in to southern Oregon, drove down the northern California coast, and ended our adventures in San Francisco. I thought I would do a series of posts highlighting the awesome places we visited!

Our favorite spot in Yosemite was probably Tuolumne Meadows, a subalpine paradise along the Tioga Road in the northern portion of the park. We were able to see some spectacular views and hike a little in the backcountry — all on a day with perfect weather, not to mention awesome clouds. :)
