The Conway Shoots

The month of August has been extremely busy for me with lots of weddings and birthdays. My husband Dave and I both share the same birthday on the 16th (different years mind you:), my brother Nate is on the 14th, my dad is the end of July, add on to that 8 weddings and school shopping and prepping for Kori who will be going into the 8th grade on Wednesday and I'm one busy lady! I've also been getting some photos ready for the Festival of the Hills in Conway, MA which is next month and we took a quick trip to North Conway, NH for a few days just to get away.

Normally I would post these photos individually but since I'm short on time and there were all taken within the same week, I figured I could lump them together!

The first set is from a train ride we took in New Hampshire from North Conway to Bartlett and back, as well as a few pictures from Cathedral Ledge. The second is from a few more photos I took in Conway, MA for my friend Kate's shop The Conwaynian Artist, and the festival where I'll be selling some prints, canvases and postcards of the series. The images are also available for sale at www.melissacoe.com if you can't make it there!

Here's Dave and Kori looking out the window of the train.

...and Alex.



We're watching them move the engine from the back of the train to the front.








Dave and I have always gone to North Conway and Cathedral Ledge every year on our birthday. Now we love being able to share the trip with our kids.



Here are rest of the the photos from Conway, MA.

Conway Shoot With Kate!

Yesterday I took a drive out to Conway, MA where my best friend from high school lives and recently opened her first consignment art gallery. Kate opened the doors of the Conwaynain Artist two weeks ago and it's filled with paintings, jewelry, furniture and other crafts either about Conway or made by made by Conway artists.

Deciding the shop was lacking in the photography department, we set out in search of old barns, abandoned houses, rivers, streams and anything else that asked to be photographed along the way. We had a great time driving around catching up on life and taking pictures.

We are both busy working mom's and it was so nice to take some time out of our busy schedules of photographing brides and driving to dance recitals to spend some time together. Hopefully some of these will be on the walls of the shop soon!

This was our first stop. I love old falling down buildings and have driven by this barn many times on the way to Kate's and always wanted to stop.


Our next stop was this abandoned house which is right around the corner from Kate and Patty's.

Here's Tia. She was our's at one time, but decided she wanted to live the country life and asked if she could go and live with Kate.

Here she is!
