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!).

the agre rehearsal dinner
Well, they’ve been married for a while already, but it was a little nuts around here at the holidays with work and ummm…holidays! So here’s their lovely rehearsal dinner (and the guys with mom beforehand). The photos I saw from their wedding looked wonderful so I know they had a lovely day. Wishing them happiness always!

rosa’s 80th birthday
Now that’s a birthday worth celebrating BIG! My friend/pilates instructor/massage therapist Denise and her siblings put together a great birthday party for their mom with family in from all over the country to help celebrate. Since many family members live out of state, they haven’t been together in a really long time because of covid. So not only was it a celebration of Rosa, it was a celebration of family. I was invited to stay for dinner (omg, such good food!) and hang out with the family and Denise said she was proud that I “survived” my first Dominican party. Not only did I survive, I had so much fun! And I made her promise to do some Salsa with her awesome hubby for me- which they did. That was awesome! Wishing Rosa the happiest 80th birthday. And I’m so glad no one beat me with their chancleta.

ava & friends at the mercy ball
It was a very busy photography day for me during the Mercy Ball- this was the second pre-ball party I shot that day for my friend and longtime client Kelly & Ava. I just wanted to say thank you to the other Ava’s parents who hosted the party and for the stepladder they let me borrow. It had been rainy and raw the whole day but we did luck out with a break in the rain/drizzle for some outdoor pictures on their beautiful wrap-around front porch. Hope this crew had a fabulous time at the ball, too!

olivia & friends at the mercy ball
The Mercy Ball is a long time honored tradition here in our town where seniors can be sponsored to go to the ball as honor guard. Boys in tuxes and tails, girls in gowns. Its almost like a winter version of prom. Olivia and her parents had a little pre-ball party and asked me to come over to take some pictures of her with her besties and their dates. And parents too! They all looked gorgeous and had a great time that night. Stay tuned for another pre-ball session at a different house coming up soon.
