the mcde engagement
Sorry about the lack of posting yesterday. I’m on the mend from the lovely stomach virus the boys so generously shared. Wow, haven’t felt that bad in a long time. Still not all the way better, but almost.
If you are a blog follower, you might remember this great couple from a wedding a shot a year ago. (Miss C is the groom’s daughter). They have recently become engaged and are moving back to the mid-west in a few weeks and asked me if I would do an engagement/save the date shoot while there were still here in NY. Of course, I jumped at the chance! We scheduled a beach shoot and were hoping we wouldn’t freeze as the shoot was in April. Well, we more than lucked out with the weather as it was in the 80’s and sunny. Perfect.
T & C chose the beach for their shoot as they are getting married in Jamaica next May. She had visions of the date written in the sand for the save the date cards to be sent out. Mission accomplished.
We had a great time shooting all over the beach and they were so up for any of my crazy ideas. T & C are just so in love, and it totally shows.
Let me just mention that C totally knows how to work the camera. I was so impressed! Especially considering that their engagement party was the night before our shoot!
Dad (aka the groom from last year’s wedding) made a surprise appearance to give his girl a kiss. And what is a bride and groom without an entourage? These girls were great with the dog wrangling and outfit/hair fixing.
Fabulousness!!!!
Had a wonderful time with all of you and hope you enjoy all the pictures! To view all of the images from this session, please click HERE.

little purple flowers
You know how they say that great minds think alike…Well, I think photographic minds REALLY think alike. My friend (and second wedding shooter) Beth and I both saw this house with the lawn covered in flowers and as soon as she called me to say that I should shoot there, I didn’t even let her finish her sentence. Cause I already saw it, and was already planning on it.
I headed over with Timmy and rang the bell to ask if it was okay to shoot there on their front lawn. But no one came and I just shot away. Sooooo worth it! And so glad I got in before they mowed it.
And a little different processing on this one.
Hope everyone had a great weekend. I got rained out on 3 of my 5 scheduled shoots this weekend, but those are all rescheduled to a different day. Deep into communion season and hoping for perfect weather this coming weekend. Lots of new shoots to post this week, so stay tuned…

the tros communion
Communion season is officially in full swing!
Mom and I went to school together from about 4th grade on and recently reconnected on Facebook. I was happy to get to see her again (especially since I haven’t since high school), meet her family, and capture their special day.
The kids were gorgeous and so well-mannered and polite. I think all the kids had a great time at the party with all the gaming stations that were set up for them (ah, yeah. Best idea EVER!) And a fun DJ to keep the action going.
We had some proud grandparents celebrating T’s communion.
And lots of family and friends to help make the day even more special.
It was great seeing you, T. Hope you enjoy the pictures. If you’d like to see all the images from the day, please click HERE.

five for friday
A week or two ago (who remembers) I did a Ten for Tuesday post. I missed Tuesday, so now it’s a five for Friday instead…
1. swine flu- still don’t know where I stand on this one. One minute I’m all “it’s just the flu and no one really seems that bad off with it” and the next minute it’s more like “omg, we’re all gonna die and life is going to be exactly like The Stand by Stephen King”. So that’s where I’m at with the swine flu. It’s a minute to minute thing. What do you think?
2. I’m almost caught up with editing shoots. But by the time I am, it’ll be time for the next batch this weekend. Love being busy though, I get so much more done.
3. Been watching reruns of Sex and the City. Love that show.
4. I am more lost than ever with LOST. Love it, but so freakin confused.
5. The boys have been doing great at baseball and are having lots of fun with it. Jack pitched 3 innings at a recent game and struck out 8 of 9 players. It’s really hard going to their games cause the field they play at is bug city (gross) and Timmy is always into something else, so it’s not like I’m watching much even when I am there. But I did go and got some great pictures.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
