Hello!
I scored this vintage French watercolor for a few dollars a couple of years ago.....
It sat in a drawer, until this last year,
I decided to hang it from my vintage French barn door....
The door that can't seem to find a permanent spot in my home : )
I used our dutch Nautical twine and a vintage French clothespin to hang the painting.....
I just tucked the twine behind the door.....
An easy way to hang paintings from doors without putting a hole in your door......
I decided this might make a great area to take a few portraits of the kids....
*************************************************************
I recently shot a few senior portraits of my daughter, Nicole....
We have lived on this ranch for almost 10 years, and the kids have spent many summers swimming in the ponds on the ranch.....
Time goes by way too fast!
I thought it was fun to capture Nicole in a location that holds a lot of childhood memories.....
We have an equestrian inspired shoot that we are working on at the moment : ).
We are hoping it turns out like we have planned....
*********************************************
I also wanted to share a picture of our little Annabelle....
A jersey cow that we will soon be milking....
Our boss generously allows us to run so many cows on his ranch....
I was so excited to add a jersey cow to our small herd....
She is so beautiful.....
We purchased her from Ryan and Amber Dias.....
The Dias family is the sweetest family that has the most beautiful herd of Jersey Cows.....
They gave us a tour of their dairy, we were all in Jersey Cow heaven....
I will be sharing lots more images with you of Annabelle in the future : )
