My Boy

I am working on a post of a bunch of photos from our trip to the Cape for the 4th. We have lots of beautiful nephews, nieces and friends there--wait till you see 'em!

But, alas, I am up too late yet again and so have chosen one favorite picture of My Favorite Boy--my son, Finn. That's all for now. He is my Everything. Ain't he cute?

Baby Mazey: One Week Old

Last week just before leaving the state for a mini-vacation with my family, I visited my beautiful new niece, Mazey. She was already one week old! I haven't seen her since and she's almost 2 weeks old now! I am really excited to document her first year, so I hope you don't mind seeing her sweet face a LOT around here! By the way--I was very excited to discover that she has dimples. So cute!











What do babies dream about? What a face!















We have chosen this chair as our "scale location"--whenever I photograph Mazey at home in her first year, we will put her in this chair so that we can easily see her growth in relation to at least one static object. Interesting sidenote that makes this kind of extra cool: this chair belonged to my great-grandmother, Mazey's own great-great grandmother!

More Alicia and Craig...

Okay. So that was a major tease to have only one photo up all day! I have another bunch ready to post.

I met Alicia and Craig at The Hotchkiss School, where they will be married later this summer. Beautiful! I am so excited to shoot their wedding! The grounds are amazing and there are tons of cool spots. In fact, I kept saying, "Okay, guys. Let's go somewhere else..." We'd walk about 3 feet and I'd go, "Wait! Stop! Under that tree! The light!" They were such good sports.


Ya, that's the same shot. Just a different treatment. I like to play!







This was taken outside the new music building. This place was awesome--very cool exterior. There just happened to be an orchestra playing classical music as we were shooting. Of course I told them I'd arranged the whole thing.



Down by the lake. We're hoping to get golf carts on the day of the wedding so we can take some shots here.























Lest you think they are perched on a mere rock. Behold! The Hotchkiss Bulls!













Gotta get a shot in the manly truck!

Alicia and Craig: Engagement Session

Okay--this will have to be quick. There's a big thunderstorm happening as I type this and I am afraid lightening might not be good for my computer! I think I have figured out how to post larger photos. Any feedback? Will this be too big?!



UPDATE: Okay--the last image was too big. I have a huge monitor at my house, but I checked it from my other computer and see that my blog ran off the side. People would have to scroll over to see the items on the right. so, for now, this is as big as I can post 'em. I will continue fiddling, I am sure....

Technical Difficulties! Stay Tuned...

Okay--I know. 

The blog looks weird! My pictures have shifted all over the place! I am working on making the blog larger, particularly the images, but it's quite late at night and I am not sure I will have this all figured out for a day or two. I wasn't sure if the changes I am making would make "old" posts weird-looking. It did! 

Stay tuned...this should be worth it in the end. :)

Sweet, Sweet Baby...

She's here!! 

A week late, but worth the wait! Baby Mazey was born today. She is just perfect. My sister did awesome and everyone is happy and healthy. I have a feeling you will be seeing a lot of this little face! This is from my first visit--she is just 4 hours old in these shots. Of special note: my 95 year old grandmother was there and I love the contrast and beauty of her hand with the baby's. (Mazey is her 16th great grandchild!)

Enjoy!

Marianne and Aaron: True Love

Yesterday I had the honor of photographing one of the most touching and FUN weddings I have ever been to. It was truly a perfect day. The setting, the weather, the couple, the guests...Amazing.

I have been very busy with family stuff (And, no--still no baby!) so I haven't had the time to really examine and play with many pictures yet. Here are a few that jumped out at me on my first run-through:

The dress? Stunning.
