So, over the past few days, I have been working on editing more of my photos from my China trip. It's been snowing here, so this has given me the perfect time to work on them. I have had the most fun editing them and remembering the stories behind them, the people I met and the fun I had over there. I hope you can enjoy them as much as I do.

Winter

I'm super excited, because Maine got hit with a crazy, awesome blizzard. I was lucky enough to get out and capture it's beauty. Some places got more snow than others. So in addition to those photos, here are some other winter photos. There will be more to come!

A Bit of China

I had the wonderful opportunity this summer to go back to China. It was great being back and being able to see the sights again. I think this time, I was able to slow down and really enjoy China. Last time there was so much emphasis on getting the perfect images that the trip was consumed with that notion. It was constantly going, going, going. Don't get me wrong, I had a wonderful time the last time I was there, but relaxing isn't a word I would use. This time it was relaxing. I was able to really take in the sights and see things in a new light. Sure, I took photos, but I feel like this time I really experienced China. I opened my eyes and heart to the things around me and it took me by surprise. I came to appreciate this country, it's history and the people so much more deeply. Well, here are a few photos from the trip. More will come :)

Boston Aquarium

So one of the first things I did when I moved here to Maine was visit Boston... I can't help it, I love that city. It is so rich with culture and history. I think that you could explore everyday for a year and still find new things and hidden treasures there. Anyways, one of my top places to see is the Aquarium. If you haven't been, I strongly suggest you check it out! It's one of the best one's I have seen. Here are a few of my photos from that trip. I hope you enjoy them :)

So, after much deliberation I have decided to open up a facebook page as well for people to check out. I was originally hesitant to the idea of having yet another means for social media, but then I realized that  there is no logical reason as to why I should not have one. So, I am getting it off the ground and will be adding to it in the coming days and from then on out. You can check it out at www.facebook.com/heatherbartlettphotography :) I would also like to say thank you to everyone who supports me and keeps me going with my dreams, you all rock!

Joe Wise

It was such a pleasure to work with Joe and his family for these photos. I wish him the best for his senior year as he gets ready to graduate.
