    sshs pre-prom {timmy & ashley}

    Running around between wearing the mom hat and the photographer hat at Timmy’s pre-prom was a lot, but I managed to do both somehow. The kids all had a great time at the prom, especially Timmy and his friend Ashley. The pictures of them together with the eye rolling and laughing is sooo totally their friendship!

    audrey’s graduation party

    I had the pleasure of photographing this lovely young lady’s graduation party. I’ve known her mom for like, ever but glad I got the chance to meet her and her sister and the rest of the family (some of which I have also know for a loooooong time. This is what happens when you get old!) My other friend Christie’s (of make up by christie fame, recently featured here as well) husband and his band, Jerry & the Newcomers were playing the party so I got to see and hang out with them a bit too. This is what also happens when you live in the same town for like, ever also.

    the seaking run4life, year 2

    My friends Kenny & Mary Ellen are amazing people. The kind that give back and want zero recognition. This was the 2nd year of their Run4Life fundraiser where Kenny (and others) run 27 miles in 24 hours to commemorate the last 27 days of his late brother’s life and raise funds for charities and causes close to their hearts. I heard it was a very well funded fundraiser, but more on that in a future post. Enjoy some pictures from back in April (where it was a million degrees out and kids were in the pool!)

    virginia’s 85th birthday

    As usual, still posting from this past fall, it I definitely couldn’t forget about this birthday! Virginia is just a force. Strong, smart funny, beautiful and just an amazing presence in the world. And there is zero way she’s 85 because she is so young at heart. She was super surprised (which is good cause it was a surprise party!) and her granddaughter namesake flew in from college which was probably her favorite surprise! Happy (extremely) belated birthday to Virginia!

    john paul’s christening

    As fate would have it, mom and I met without me realizing this was her booking me for her son’s christening. I shot an 85th birthday for her mother’s sister’s boyfriend where I met both her and her mother. Neither one of us realized this until we saw the “birthday boy” at the christening and put 2 and 2 together. So here we are! It was lovely meeting them (again) and photographing this special day for their baby boy (who did not utter a peep the whole time!).
