Over the Christmas break, we found our way to two of our favorite shooting areas, the southern mountains of Appalachia and the rugged seacoast of New England. Over the course of our trip, we took several excursions to a variety of locations, some new to us and others old and familiar. We began our photo adventure by exploring Continue reading
New England Winter at its Awkwardest!
If you’ve been following the news at all, you probably know that this winter has been a bit… well… mild in New England. In fact this year’s New England winter had been downright non-existent, with early autumn temperatures visiting us as late as the last week of December. In fact, when we arrived in New Hampshire for our annual winter visit, the weather was so warm that we were out building a stick fort with the kids in shorts an t-shirts. Though fun, it wasn’t exactly what we were hoping for. But, on the bright side, the unseasonably warm New England winter did have some advantages – for example, not suffering from frostbite on a pre-dawn Nubble Light shoot (above). Plus, it has been years and years since I’d built a stick fort, so that was a nice walk down memory lane to share with the kids.
However, at long last, the jet stream dipped and a cold front came through, bringing that long-awaited first snow just before the New Year. In Greenland, NH, about 5 miles from the ocean, we got about 6 inches of sometimes fluffy, sometimes wet snow. Just enough for constructing our annual snow fort with the kids. On our final day in New England, as we were packing for the long drive south, the sun had finally come out and with it, a beautiful sunburst shining through the dripping, misty trees. The photo above is from just outside our door, with the Winnicut River slowly flowing along its banks as the night’s ice slowly melted. Of course, this New England winter is far from over, but if December was any indication of what is to come, perhaps this New England winter will be a bit more tolerable than the unceasing snows of the previous winter season.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Wonderful New Year!
Christmas has always held a special place in our hearts – from Nate’s memories of snowy New England Christmasses, filled with family and strawberry-topped waffles, and stockings and sledding in the back yard – to Bryn’s memories of Christmas in North Dakota and then in Florida – the windy snowdrifts contrasted by the sandy dunes – Christmas Eve services, and big family meals.
At the center of our Christmas traditions is the miraculous birth of Jesus, who willingly laid down his rights as God and took on the frail and broken form of humanity. As we celebrate Christ’s birth – his taking on of human flesh – we remember, too, the reason for his coming – to seek and to save a people by his perfect life and sinless death. He came to bring us hope – a certain hope that the frigid and bleak effects of the curse – it’s sorrows and sufferings – the brokenness we see in this world, and in our own hearts – will one day be no more. In his incarnation, Christ inaugurated the coming of a kingdom without end – the promise of eternal, perfect joy and peace flowing from the presence of God among his ransomed people. The invitation of Christmas is found at the foot of the cross – it is a call to lay down all our frustrations and struggles and sins at Christ’s feet – a call to trade in the overwhelming desires of life that will inevitably fail us, and instead embrace Christ’s gift of life – his gift of himself as our all-surpassing joy and worth. This is the Christmas gift that beats out every other gift, even that gigantic die-cast Voltron I received that one Christmas…
And as we look to the New Year, we’ve compiled a small Christmas gift for you – a collection of our favorite Fine Art wallpaper from 2014 – a retrospective if you will. Please feel free to download one or all! The images are full HD images, 1080P, and perfect for your computer, tablet or television – and if you enjoy our photos, please follow us – and for extra bonus points, share this blog with your friends to help us get the word out!

With Christmas literally right around the corner, and with lots of blog posts yet to be posted, I thought what better way to get posting than to highlight a shoot we did for our friends at Amelia Island for the holidays! On the northern tip of the island is a beautiful Civil-War era fort, named Fort Clinch. On the first Saturday of December, the folks at Fort Clinch welcome the public to participate in some great 1860’s-era caroling under the stars. With a raging bonfire and voices raised high, we sang a wealth of pre-1860 carols as the moon rose over the canon-lined ramparts. Along with the period singing, this immersive walk into 1860’s holiday living included a variety of living displays, depicting the joys and traditions of a Civil War era Christmas. This will definitely be a tradition for the Deremer Household for years to come!
