Newport Rhode Island Photo Tour – Travel Photography – 1st Edition

So I am finally getting around to going through our photos from our Newport, RI trip last May. There were so many beautiful things about this town and although I can offer only a pinch of some of the visual, there was so much more. The pride this town has in it’s history & it’s art & it’s ties to the ocean is seen everywhere and so inspirational. As you interact more and more you feel a distinct air of wholesomeness & friendliness that resonates in the delightful personalities of the locals. And although this town generates quite a large bit of tourism, it feels so far from touristy. This is a gem that is worth a visit. Thanks honey for finding it and all your planning you did to take us there. Newport, I love you and I cannot wait to come back year after year after year to explore all of your lovely layers…

Newport Harbor Panorama

If you are wondering why the sudden drop off in Blog posts and FB chatter, I am still getting caught up from our recent week long family trip out to Newport, RI (which has secured it’s place as my favorite road trip vacation destination!). We are still in catch up mode but we will be posting more lovely inspiration again very soon! In the meantime here is a little bit of lovely inspiration. A lovely sunset panorama of Newport Harbor. If you have never been, consider it. It is only about 6-7 hours away (just stay off of 95 through NYC) and there are a ton of things to do for all ages. It is gorgeous, historical and so friendly! And the historical houses & mansions are WOW!

Cool Cape May Part 2

If you ever need to try a new beach destination, we couldn’t recommend Cape May more. It is gorgeous, clean and delicious! And for the most part feels like you are stepping back in time when things were more wholesome, classy, respectable, polite and family oriented. Love this place… Cape May, NJ Addict & Harrisburg Area & Central PA’s Modern Portrait & Wedding Photographer – Grace Lightner Photography

Cool Cape May Part 1

Cape May, NJ is a place that we have grown very fond of for the past 3 years. We take our family vacation out there in the summers. What is there to love? The beautiful beaches which are kept clean and spacious enough to not ever feel crowded, the charming old Victorian buildings full of history and gorgeous gingerbread work, the newer grand beach houses that make you sigh & you wish you were making rock star money, the amazing culinary selection and the pleasant people. We just love it there!

Don’t Worry Spring is Here

It was the striking color combination of this almost forgotton dried thai chili that happened to be next to this brilliant wild purple viola that made me go inside and grab my camera and my macro lens. I didn’t stage this. The juxtaposition of old death and new life both equally vibrant in color really spoke to me.

Thanks so much Erin, you always say such beautifully nice things! Boy I can’t wait til Wednesday then Thur – Sun Unseasonably Warmer weather! I keep looking at these and reminding myself it will be glorious. I hope you and the boys enjoy it thoroughly and I hope we have just as good or better weather in about 3.5 weeks ;)
