Let’s play in the… snow?

Hmmm. It’s weird that it’s mid February and Addie has only been out to play and sled in real snow one time! It has been so weirdly non snowy here this winter. The other day we took the Addisons out to play in about a half inch of crusty snow.

Think I need to surrender that baby hat to the too small box? I just can’t part with it even though it keeps popping off of her silly head. 0-6 months. pshhht.

 

Love Whitby.

It is with a heavy heart that I write this post.

I learned that Peter and Rebeccah, whose wedding I shot back in 2009, lost their seven month old son Whitby two weeks ago. I never met Whit, but by all accounts, it sounds like he was one amazing little boy who spread his joy wherever he went. Knowing his parents, I know that his short life was filled with much love, humor and fun. You can read more about Whitby here.

They have set up The Whitby Fund. 10% of the funds will go to the PICU at Maine Medical center, and the remainder will help Peter and Rebeccah defray the costs for Whit’s care.

I have decided to donate one Deluxe Session (a full lifestyle session plus a disc with all high res images) to be raffled off to help raise money for The Whitby Fund.

How to win:

  • Make a minimum donation of $25 to The Whitby Fund. Each $25 donation is one entry. So donate $100, and you’ve got four entries to win.
  • Forward a copy of your receipt to nicole@nmdphotography.com
  • Donation receipt must be dated between 2.9.12 and 3.1.12.
  • You may also enter in person at the celebration for Whit on March 2nd at Grace Restaurant in Portland.
  • All online entries must be RECEIVED by midnight (Eastern time) on March 1st.
  • Winner will be drawn at random and announced at Whit’s celebration (and online) on March 2nd.

Other details:

  • Session participants must sign a Session Agreement.
  • Session must take place within 30 miles of South Berwick, Maine, and must take place before June 1st.
  • If the winner does not claim his/her prize by March 4th or cannot claim the prize, then another winner will be drawn.
  • The session MAY be gifted. I imagine that this would make a lovely Mother’s Day gift! This is also a great time of year for a senior session.
  • This raffle is not sponsored or promoted by the The Whitby Fund and I am not receiving anything in return for this effort.
  • There is no obligation to purchase prints or products from this session.

Thank you in advance for considering a donation to The Whitby Fund and for keeping Peter and Rebeccah in your thoughts at this time.

 

Addison’s First Year

Here it is! The  long awaited album. I am hoping it doesn’t look too boyish as I instinctively used a palate of blues and greens. I am being wishywashy about the front cover– will show pics when I finally decide on what image for the front. It is a 30 page 8×8 album in classic white leather. The white background of some of them looks funky on the white of the blog. So use your imagination and know that the white is really a square:)

Lindsay - This is wonderful!!! Addison is going to cherish this when she’s older. What a sweet present you’ve given her!

Carrie - Absolutely adorable Nicole! And Addison is way too cute…..they really do grow up far too quickly and you’ve done a fabulous job documenting her growth!!

Here we go…

We’ve entered toddlerhood. More than just the cute toddling. Our dear Addison has blossomed a real personality all her own, and boy are we in for a ride, I believe! Yesterday was one of those days that she either had me in stitches laughing, or about to pull my hair out, and not much in between.
