Hardy Park Engagement Session: Jenn + Donny

Brockville Engagement Session Stephanie Beach PhotographyIt was shortly after I got my driver’s license that I realized just how small a town I lived in. Don’t get me wrong, it was a great place to grow up and is still a wonderful town, but as a teenager, it was small, very small. There wasn’t much to do during the evenings where my friends and I managed to tear ourselves away from whatever basement we were watching movies in,  we would end up driving around more or less aimlessly. We would often end up driving near the waterfront in Brockville and then either driving or walking along the Boardwalk. I am not sure why we always ended up there, but we did. So when Jenn + Donny mentioned Hardy Park for their engagement session I was definitely up for it!

Hardy Park Engagement Session: Jenn + Donny, Sneak Peek

Brockville Engagement Session Stephanie Beach PhotographySo, the warm weather sure is taking its sweet time getting here! But I’m not really complaining, the weather now it a whole lot better than the dead of winter, and to be honest, I am more of a Fall and Spring kind of person anyway. That being said, I was really hoping that the trees would fill up a little bit before Jenn + Donny’s session came around.

April

Spring may not be here in full effect just yet, but April is and I am hopeful.
—————————————–
It’s Spring! Farewell
To chills and colds!
The blushing, girlish
World unfolds

Each flower, leaf,
And blade of turf –
Small love-notes sent
From air to earth.

The sky’s a herd
Of prancing sheep,
The birds and fields
Abandon sleep,

And jonquils, tulips,
DaffodilsBloom bright upon
The wide-eyed hills.

All things renew,
All things begin.
At church, they bring
The lilies in.

~John Updike.
