Softly the evening came with the sunset.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
There are times when I absolutely love my job and this is one of them. To capture quiet moments of childhood, running in the setting sun, jumping for joy, laughing and enjoying a snack, this is what I love to do and I am so blessed to be able to do it.
“Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.”
Rachel Carson
Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again!
For then the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.
~ Matthew Arnold
This image will be 25% off in my shop all week♥
I am so excited to start introducing some new ideas I have been working on for my shops. Today I will be sharing something fun for my fine art photography shop. Each Monday I will be showcasing one image from the shop as the Image Of The week. During that week the photo will be 25% off in the shop in whatever size you want.
I chose this week’s image while sitting next to the window looking out at the grey clouds and rain. I needed a little color and sunshine and think this image is the perfect pick me up on this dreary day.
With new years come new ideas, plans and expectations. Back in January I plotted out many for myself but sometimes life has other plans. After a much needed break where I spent lots of time curled up with good books, hanging with my family and well, not being very productive, I am ready to tackle those lists and feed my creative soul.
First up is a long delayed post of a few images I took of my son when he turned 8 back in December. This boy is my laughter. Goofy, sweet and sometimes (a lot of times) wild. He is so special to me.
Holiday minis at Candy Cane Tree farm are just around the corner and I only a couple spots left! Contact me today at brandie@brandiepahl.com to reserve your spot♥
This is what I’ll be working on this week;)
I love summer evenings, a breeze stirs the warm air and golden light streams through the trees. I got to spend a fun evening just like this with little Audrey. She is such a sweet little bundle of energy! Everything that a toddler should be♥
The gorgeous L kids were so much fun to photograph! These images will always remind me of warm summer days and the golden light at the end of the day. I hope you love them as much as I do♥
