baseball camp (catching up)
Ok, I’m so behind on my personal posts so I’m going to try to catch up on them over the weekends. For now anyway, until the fall sessions start piling up and I can only post client pictures 7 days a week. I’m so far behind that I haven’t blogged stuff from our trip to Jamaica in May or the end of the school year stuff.
So anyway, here are a few shots from the big boys baseball camp they went to the last week of June/first week of July. Enjoy your weekend!

tricia & bill- the ceremony
Although I got lost on the way to the wedding venue (omg, can you say freaking out!!!) , I made it barely in time to start shooting the ceremony. Barely. I was totally in panic mode, but it was all for nothing as it was all good and I got all the shots I needed.
They really couldn’t have ordered a better, more beautiful day for their beachfront wedding. Perfect blue skies, breezy and warm. And a couple SO in love, you could see it in every part of their day.


Dad did a great job giving his little girl away.
I was so happy that I captured the way the bride and groom looked at eachother throughout the ceremony.
Ceremony from the front. And the back. And it really does not look we were on Long Island at all, but someplace in the tropics.
Getting the ring is sometimes a tricky thing. 
And the kiss. Married!!!
Stay tuned after the weekend for the reception and the portraits. Tons more to come… -
tricia & bill- getting ready
An introduction to my next bride and groom- Tricia & Bill who I just loooooved working with! Much more on them, their friends and family in upcoming posts, but in the meantime some pictures of the bride getting her well, ‘bride on’ before the big event.
We met up at their hotel for some getting ready shots with hair and makeup. And lots of help getting it all together!
Possibly the best wedding shoes. Ever. 
Isn’t she a lovely, easy going bride? Just beautiful!!
Two of the important things that helped us all get thru the day: Zoraida, my second shooter, and lots of double sided tape to keep everything where it’s supposed to be.
Lots more pictures to follow- ceremony tomorrow! -
the emur family
A friend from high school who now lives far, far away was in town for a few days and we squished in a session for her and her kids. You may recognize them from last year’s shoot, and the young man is also featured on my blog header. Their grandmother is the owner of Garden Gate and had the yard landscaped beautifully- made for easy shooting!
Well, that and the gorgeous kids!

Thinking ahead for Christmas. 
Liz, you look beautiful!


And in an homage to last year’s shoot with the beach shower, we turned the hose on the kids. They didn’t seem too upset about it.
Next year, we have to fit dinner in there somewhere too! Hope you enjoy your pictures!! -
beach fun
We haven’t spent nearly enough time at the beach this year. Been there on the weekends lots, but hardly during the week at all. Was planning on a beach week this week, but so far it’s been a bust weather wise. Here are some shots on a day I lugged the big camera down to the beach.
The ocean has been crazy rough this summer. Evidenced by Jack being taken out on the right.
Timmy can really swim now. Like I can let him go in the pool alone (while watching of course and he has to stick close to the wall- but he can do it!)

Patrick:



Patrick, Colleen, Erin and Jack. They’ve been friends for 9 years now. And every summer their mom and I say that that was probably the last summer that they’d hang out together, and they keep proving us wrong. I’m so glad!
Jack:








A little fun with Uncle Nelson. Even though he’s moved to NJ this year, he still manages to make the transcontinental trip to the beach with us.
Love me some sandy, salty, spiky beach hair!
Fell asleep on the bench, on John. Hard day of play at the beach can do that to ya.
Patrick trying to pretend that we’re not annoying the crap out of him.
And Jack, being a good sport for me. 
Hope everyone else is enjoying their summer too!!
