Marissa's Lifeystyle Photography

 Autumn is my favorite time of year and there's nothing more that I love than taking a walk around town and photographing interesting things. I love walking in the woods by myself and just finding beauty in the natural habitat around me.

I try to take lifestyle photography throughout the year, in all four seasons. I'm dreaming of spring right now, as a watch the snow fly haphazardly outside my window. Since I'm dreaming of the melting snow and the first buds on the trees, I'll share some of my favorite spring photography from around my town and local woods! Then we will move on to the rest of the seasons!

Next is my summer lifestyle photography. I have been an avid gardener since my children were little ones. We started with a couple of square foot garden boxes to grow some tomatoes and then it just expanded over the years into this wonderful little veggie garden, resplendent with a white picket fence and stone pathway.

 In addition to my veggie garden, I have two large flower beds on each side of my house. I just love to putter around in it, and having fresh cut flowers brightening up the house during the summer is heavenly.

I also have a lot of landscape photography and decor vignette shots. Anything I find whimsical, I tend to take a photo of it. I find beauty and inspiration everywhere.

The next batch of my favorite photography is Autumn. Which is my favorite season. I have so many fantastic fall photos, it's really hard to choose but I think these ones really bear witness to the magic of fall. From changing foliage to cute Halloween decorations to bunches of gourds, I just can't get enough.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally, here we are with some picturesque winter shots. Although I am a native of Minnesota, the cold isn't my favorite. I do a bunch of fun winter activities to get me through our long winters here, like snowboarding and figure skating. However, I wouldn't mind if as soon as January ends, the snow melts and it's time to get out into the garden. Unfortunately, our winters can last well into April. Oof. Here's to cozy nights in bed with a hot water bottle!
