Last Monday was the last time I had access to the internet, or a land line, and so my only contact to the outside world was through my cell phone. That was until the next morning when our movers arrived at 8am and my sweet little green Nokia felt too much pressure so packed it in. The land line was finally hooked up in the new house on Friday night, and our internet has just been connected now (hence the instant blog update!), and now, only my poor little cell is left to recuperate from the shock of moving so I am getting a loaner to tide me over. This whole experience has made me realise just how unbelievably dependent on modern day communication devices I am and even though it was great to be out of contact as I was able to just get on with packing and then unpacking, the dread of the emails and messages waiting for me when I finally reconnected was overwhelming. That said, I have not even dared to look at my email inbox - it is looming on the window hidden by this one, but just thought I would throw in a blog update in the hopes that some of my clients realise the chaos I am living and have pity upon me. To give you an idea, here are some of the rooms in our house right now.







But we are in the new house, sleeping here and even brought the cats over who are both traumatised and hiding under the bed. Although I was so desperately sad to leave the old place and it seemed impossible that we would ever find anywhere as dreamy, I think we have actually done it. Plus we have more space which is the best part! I can't wait to get everything settled but in the meantime, here are some sneak peeks of what is set up (sort of). Actually, the only room set up so far is my office / home studio. I am so excited by the space and figured since I spend more time in my office that anywhere else, I deserved the biggest room in the house. I didn't shoot the other side which is where my desk is as it is clutter buggy as usual, but the bay windows are beautiful and Ben will spend many a night reading in that nook while I work away. And there is a fireplace and of course one of my divine antique sofas.



The view from our bedroom...



The view from the terrace...





And the clincher - the steps to the water...



And the view down the shoreline...



...Heaven.

So please be patient and know that I have some ultra fabulous shooots waiting in the wings to be processed. I am too excited by some of my recents photo sessions and although I seem to have done nothing but either move or shoot, the processing will happen eventually. But for now, thanks for your patience and back to the boxes!
