It was a fantastic Sunday last week when the Hogentogler’s came over for a photo shoot. The sun was shining and the weather was warm. I love days like this!

The dog park caught Kara’s eye.

I have known Bianca since junior high. We shared a lot of art classes together and have a lot of fond memories. We lost touch after high school but through Facebook we have reconnected. Bianca is now married with 3 beautiful children and shares a love for photography as well. This year Bianca wanted to do a themed Christmas photo…the Simpsons! I LOVED this idea and couldn’t wait to get together with her and shoot. So we did a family photo swap. She photographed my family and I photographed hers. So we set a date for the first Saturday in December at Longs Park in Lancaster. We had such a great time that we are looking forward to getting together again (when the weather is warmer!). Merry Christmas Cordova-Cogley Family!

I’m fortunate to have a large park behind my development. There are walking paths, dog parks, baseball & soccer fields as well as a BMX course. Today we took a stroll.

Since we moved into our new development, we are lucky enough to have this huge park right next door, though we haven’t used it a lot since it has been winter. It has walking trails, dog parks, BMX bike area, you name it. The day after Briar’s birthday we decided to go to the park. It was a windy day but we just needed to get out of the house. Thanks to Beth who took photos while I could take Briar down the slides.
