"Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver." ~Barbara De Angelis Found the east coast version of love locks on the fishing pier by the boardwalk. I've never been to Paris, but I hear that they don't allow them on the bridges there any more. #acolorstory #livethelittlethings #nothingisordinary #happier2018 #happierpodcast #onmywalk #aewellnesstribe
"It never failed to amaze me how the most ordinary day could be catapulted into the extraordinary in the blink of an eye." ~Jodi Picoult Just a normal day on the boardwalk today! #acolorstory #nothingisordinary #livethelittlethings #happier2018 #happierpodcast #onmywalk #aewellnesstribe
"I couldn’t imagine living in a state that didn’t reach the ocean. It was a giant reset button. You could go to the edge of the land and see infinity and feel renewed." ~Avery Sawyer #acolorstory #nothingisordinary #livethelittlethings #happier2018 #happierpodcast #onmywalk #aewellnesstribe
As a gift for each other for our 32nd wedding anniversary we got a membership to the @brevardzoo :) I love how close you can get to the animals! Can't wait to do the kayak tour through the zoo & the rhino encounter. #acolorstory #brevardzoo #happierpodcast #happier2018 #livethelittlethings #nothingisordinary #onmywalk #aewellnesstribe

A few of the nice animal friends I met on my walk around the lake today! #acolorstory #worldanimalday #onmywalk #aewellnesstribe #happier2018 #happierpodcast #livethelittlethings #nothingisordinary
We were driving past D.C. on our way back from taking our son to dinner for his birthday when I snapped a quick picture of the Capitol out the car window (from the passenger seat). It wasn't until I uploaded the photo that I saw the people working on the dome. If you zoom in you can get a glimpse. #acolorstory #livethelittlethings #nothingisordinary #happier2018 #happierpodcast
“To say it was a beautiful day would not begin to explain it. It was that day when the end of summer intersects perfectly with the start of fall.” ~Ann Patchett This is how I know summer is really over...when I see the rows & rows of dried corn stalks on the eastern shore. I'm already missing the fresh picked ears of corn on the cob from the roadside stands! #acolorstory #ipulledoverforthis #nothingisordinary #livethelittlethings #happier2018 #happierpodcast
Said good-bye to summer at the beach with Thrasher's French fries on the boardwalk yesterday & Fractured Prune donuts this morning. #acolorstory #nothingisordinary #livethelittlethings #happier2018 #happierpodcast
Out of the hundreds of walks I've taken at the park by the bay this was the first time I've seen a bride & groom there (a photographer was taking their pictures). #acolorstory #nothingisordinary #livethelittlethings #happier2018 #happierpodcast #onmywalk #aewellnesstribe
"Fun is good." ~Dr. Seuss Had fun going to the arcade & playing mini-golf with my son tonight (we tied)! Also...Skeeball is my favorite game :) #acolorstory #livethelittlethings #nothingisordinary #happier2018 #happierpodcast

A little about me


A little about me


 

Hello & welcome!

I'm pleased to meet you.  My name is Dawn Smith and I'm a wife, mother, art photographer & designer. A perfect day would be spent on the beach with my family...with a book in one hand and my camera in the other. 

My art is inspired by the wonders of nature and celebrates the beauty that's found in the ordinary, everyday moments of life. 

I believe:

that the glass is half full.

that happiness is found in the quiet moments

that the best things in life aren't things.

that less is more.

that kindness matters.

in giving back (I donate a portion of all sales to a local cancer center).

I hope that my work will bring light & happiness to your home.  Thanks so much for visiting!
