Alicia & Rob Engagement

Saturday we had two awesome engagement sessions. Alicia and Rob were the first couple of the day and they were just amazing to work with. They're such laid back, fun people and we are so looking forward to doing their wedding in October.

They were willing to try anything we suggested and did nothing but laugh and joke the whole time. It was a pleasure shooting them.

Here are a few from their session.


Love this one! :)

Ashley at the beach

The other weekend I went down the shore with Mikey and my cousin Ashley. We were just hanging out on the beach for the day and got some burgers and relaxed. It was great! We even managed to fit in a little photoshoot where I had Ashley frolic around the beach in a white dress and a seashell headpiece courtesy of Anca Pe'elma Fine Headpieces and Accessories. It was so much fun and Ashley was such a sport prancing around the beach and dipping her feet in the 49 degree water! So here are a few from our day at the beach.

Cute!:

I have to give credit where credit is due to my sister Andrea who is the owner and designer of Anca Pe'elma. Every single headpiece is handmade and they are all absolutely beautiful.

Yay!

Adriana & Charles Engagement

Last weekend we had the pleasure of shooting an engagement session with Adriana and Charles, AND Adriana's son David. BONUS! We knew right away, back when we met them, that they'd be wonderful people to work with and they absolutely were. Since their wedding isn't taking place in center city and they won't have much time for formal pictures anyway, we jointly decided that we'd take the engagement session as an opportunity to do the whole Art Museum thing. On the down side...grumble, grumble...the usually beautiful Art Museum is completely covered in scaffolding. Then again, who needs the art museum anyway? :-)

Adriana, Charles and David, it was a pleasure photographing you and we can't wait until August!!!

Hope & Chase

On Friday I went to the shore for the day to visit my friend Lauren. It was nice to just relax and sit by the pool and walk on the boardwalk. It was also fun hanging out with Lauren's niece and nephew, Hope and Chase. They love the beach in a way that only kids can love the beach. Like ... arrive, immediately drop belongings, run directly into the ocean.

Hope in particular, being a bit older, loved the ocean part of the beach. Chase seemed to stick a little more to the sand.

Hope also liked posing for the camera (see above...and below).





I don't know what this is all about...but I like it. :-)

Daneen & Graham - Wedding

I recently had the opportunity to work with Doug Burns, owner of Candid Moments Photography as a second shooter for Daneen and Graham's wedding. Doug is a wonderful person to work with. He makes it all look so simple and I really have learned a lot from him. You can check out Candid Moments Photography's website by clicking here. Here are just a few of my shots as a second shooter for Daneen and Graham's wedding with Doug. Enjoy!

Nicole at the Salon

Memorial Day weekend Nicole, my good friend from way back to elementary school days, got married! Even though I was a guest at the wedding and not working, I offered to join her and the bridal party at the salon before the official photographers arrived. (Also...that's my Aunt doing Nicole's hair, she told me not to get her in any shots because she was so sick, but had to do just this one.)


...there were better...this is tame. ;-)





















Nicole was a beautiful bride! First high school friend to be married and I must admit I cried...a lot. Happy tears though. Sigh. :-)

Congratulations Nicole and Ryan!!!
