elle at the farm










elle is here at the farm. phrases like " auntie am i almost a farmer like you" and " can we go for a walk and see the horses" come out of her mouth and make it to my ears like the sweetest melodies. like in all things elle is a natural and the horses are so drawn to her . she is right in there doing it right even showing her brother the way to do things around here. the weather today went from a mild and grey morning, to a heavy snow, then the sun came out as big flakes fell and the mix of all of it with elle was just too beautiful!

Indeed, this mix is beautiful. I can't believe how pretty these photos are, Nadia. Oh, yes I can. You took them, after all! What a wonderful auntie you must be.

I totally agree with Aran.
These are so beautiful Nadia.

And a question... doesn't snow make any problem for the camera?

these photos are extraordinary. there is a story here and we want to see where it began and how it unfolds.

(not at all surprised that Mike is already cozying up to Elle:)

nadia, i realized that i have been away from here for too long. i'm sorry i didn't know about your sister--i hope she is doing ok now--and the farm looks heavenly and elle has gotten so big and through your incredible lens even prettier...

These photos are so dreamy and surreal! Elle is beautiful. Is that a poncho she is wearing or a coat? It is really adorable. Do you mind if I ask where you got it?

Joie Moring said...

What a series...just great. And that knowing face...stunning. Where'd she get that cape!? I want it!!! ( info please ;) )

Caroline said...

These photos make me happy... and you can get a sense that Elle has a very great spirit. My husband and I are off to his family's farm in France in JUNE... these pictures make me so excited to GO. I hope you had a wonderful holiday, and life is lovely!!! xo

Quel joli "Petit chaperon rouge" Connaissez-vous le conte de Charles Perrault ? Sarah Moon l'avait illustré avec de superbes photos. L'atmosphère de vos photos me l'a rappelé. Antonia
