I heart film #3

I'm not ready to say it's the end of the season yet, but this is my little goodbye ode to the end of August - a la old school film. It's been a really good month. 

Enjoy, and thanks for sharing in some of our August journeys!

The one of Adelaide...has she caught a hand in the net? (It could be my only-got-2hrs-sleep-last-night-eyes!)
Gorgeous photos as usual...a tonic for sore eyes. xxx

bigbucketgirl - oh my goodness! It does appear that way - I can't believe I didn't notice that. And now I can't remember how they were sitting but it's possible that Papa had his arm around her. I suppose that must be it. Oh, I see that photo so differently now!

Hope you get some rest today!

Could you life seem any more idyllic. Honestly, summer in Maine is something that I'm positively lusting over. My suburban Melbourne, Australia life seems so pale in comparison to the natural landscape which seems to be all around you - very envious.

[Victoria]

By the way - sorry, your photos have always been wonderful but since your new camera they seem particularly lush!

[Sarah]

Great pic of all the flying children. Adelaide with her arms stretched out - love it. She looks so big and reminds me that my own girl is growing too!

[heather]

late afternoon sun just kills me for photographing people - it seems that's when you shot miss a in photo 3? such a magnificant pic! i also love dearly how she's twirling about with the big kids, just chillin with her pals... and your last photo reminds me of my banner... that feeling of "oh sun, please don't go... i'd love it if we could just hang here for hours like this, you and me, in this amber glow... alas, it is time, but these final moments with you today are perfect."

These photos are so beautiful and atmospheric - makes me want to dig out the old film camera again. What a lovely tribute to summer days.

[Kat]

There is nothing like film, but I love the ease and immediacy of my digital. Gorgeous photos.

[shari]

these are magical amanda. such wonderful light and mood. xo

[lottie]

These are beautiful shots. The one of all the children playing together is particularly ethereal.

[mary]

I love A following along with the big kids twirling in delight. That age is wonderful, still a snuggly babe but out there exploring like a big kid. Beautiful photos.

[Julia]

i love these photos! i'm headed to pick up my first film photos in months- thanks to your inspiration to get back to film. can't wait to see them. thanks for sharing your family's beautiful adventures.

[Madeline R]

I love film too. But I never think to use it. Maybe I will now. I love the dancers in the fog.

[kat nicholas]

I've lived in North Carolina all my life and never gave much thought to living anywhere else.
I now have a sudden urge to move to Maine. Or at least spend some time there. Absolutely beautiful.

[Stefani]

gorgeous, one and all! Have a wonderful weekend, amanda :-)

[Claudia]

You know what kills me? Picture of miss A with the net, go down, down - Ack! Those tiny wee toenails! To die for...

Lovely photos, Amanda.

[hannah]

[erin]

[Janelle]

Gorgeous photos. What camera/lens did you use?

[Kristy]

Ooooh, so so beautiful. It definitely makes me want to run away from the big city so that my babe can frolic in nature more often. Gorgeous. I am wistful!

[Heidi]

Thats it! I'm picking up some film today-you've inspired me. I have a lovely 35 mm Digital Rebel that has been tucked away in the closet since the digital took over. It is calling me...Gorgeous photos. Happy Day Amanda!

[Grace]

[robin]

Amanda, I love the one of the children dancing or twirling in the overcast/foggy day picture. Dreamy... <3

[Vivien]

All beautiful summer photos but the one of all the children playing together is just so lovely and evocative. I really enjoy your writing and your life, so please keep us posted!

[Rae]

Beautiful! My eyes are happy, filled with beauty.

[WiscJennyAnn]

Oh those pictures are spectacular. They make my heart ache for summer in New England. Thank you so much for sharing them...

[Melissa]

your photos always seem to reflect the serenity in your life. :) That should be your next book. "How to live like me" :)

[Veronica TM]

all of them are almost magical. thank you for sharing, amanda.

[galadriel]

Such heartbreakingly beautiful photos. Swoon. These pictures speak what childhood is about.

[kimberly/tippytoes]

such beautiful photos! I love dancing in the fog too.

[SOULEMAMA]

Janelle - I'm shooting film with an old Nikkormat FT, with 200 ISO fujifim. I use a couple of different lenses - mostly a wide angle that I can't remember the specs of right now.

[Tracy]

wow, these photos are gorgeous.

[sarah]

no!!! I don't want to say goodbye to summer! Whaaah!!! your pictures are gorgeous. Love the one of all the kids spinning. Enjoy these last weeks of summer sun.

[lori]

beautiful pictures Amanda.
Love the one with the kids twirling in what looks like a misty morning.

I am not ready to give up August...well somewhat..I am ready for a bit more routine to our day...been a wild summer with the amount of neighborhood kids at my house. LOL!

Getting homeschool stuff organized and readily at the kids fingertips...new folders,markers,pencils....I still love the feeling of new school stuff even if we dont need so much of it at home as the traditional way of back to school. :o)

[Kim]

As always, I love your photos. You truly inspire me. Thank you.

[Kelly]

mmm . . . goodbye August . . . see you next year
I love the foggy photo :)

[Montessori By Hand]

Scrumptious photography, Amanda.

[leslie]

your beach photos are so fun, the east coast sure is different from the west. someday i will swap! :)

[Amber]

What a wonderful good-bye...

[Becky]

Those pictures are just amazing - what a lovely farewell to August.

[kt]

Ooooooooooooooh, that over the shoulder shot of your lad overlooking the sea...the focus on his sweet hair, his shirt... sigh*

and Miss A intent with the net....mmmmmm

thanks again for sharing.

[Jill]

my goodness I love the one of the children on the grass... so magical... and the colors are so beautiful. looks like a movie scene.

[fiveflowers]

Lovely! I live at the beach too, but you are so able to capture the magic! I always feel like I need to let me children experience more freedom after reading your site, and so I read it everyday. Thanks for sharing.

[Heather]

I just love your blog. Need I say anything else? :)

[Gift of Green]

Beautiful.

[Marisa]

Looks like your summer was pretty darn nice...I'm not looking forward to fall, but I suppose it will come anyhow. Thanks for your beautiful images.

[Darlene Taylor]

I love tucks,pleats and smocking too, there's just something about them that makes one feel so-o-o special and feminine.I love your sweet little girl and her dresses. There is nothing sweeter than a little girl in a dress.

[Livia]

Life is beautiful when you have a right attitude. I really enjoy your way of looking at things end enjoying little things. Something I'm still learning.

[Amy Q]

These are so gorgeous. I heart film too.
