Holiday Show

Speaking of Holidays, I will be involved in a 7 vendor holiday show on Thursday, December 3. The event will be from 9:30-2:30 and 6:30-9:30. If you are in Wilton and would like an invitation, email me at shawn@shawnsthings.com.

'tis the season

to be jolly....though the retailers keep making it sooner and sooner that we should "think" about the holidays. The day after Halloween is the new "official" start to the holidays. Scary!!! Again this year I am trying to enjoy each day of the season and trying to remember the reason for the season. I am excited about a grass-roots program I am working on called Help Portraits. With the help of the local FCA, we will find families that are in crisis who would not otherwise be able to have a family portrait taken. I am donating my time and working with a local printer to donate the prints. If anyone is interested in donating an 8x10 frame, please email me at shawn@shawnsthings.com I can't think of a better way for me to give back than this!!

making wine


Tonight's the night. We are finally ready to press!!! After 6 days of fermenting and punching down the wine grapes, we are ready to see the juice and should have our first taste of the fruits of our labor!

chasing the sun











Got to see this family again last night-though we were chasing the sun a little! Miss "L" got her braces off and couldn't wait to smile for me! We went to Weir Farm and we caught some gorgeous end of day lighting but then the sun slipped behind a giant cloud and some trees. Luckily they were all good sports and we made a dash to Ambler Farm where we were able to catch an amazing sunset! Anything in the interest of photography!!! Check out that sunset in the window in this last shot!
