Here we grow again :) Ben at 14 months!

This is my best friend's little boy. I am pretty sure the pictures say it all but if you don't want to reach in there and grab his cheeks, you just aren't right :)

Wedding in a Blizzard!

Here's to Brittany and James, a couple who has anticipated their wedding day for some time! They have dated since high school and their date was set for December 19th, 2009 - who was to know that it would be the date for the largest recorded December snow storm ever for the Northeast? In the 17 whatever inches of snow, the wedding must go on :) So those who made it, made the best of it! Everything from a delayed start to a stand-in groomsmen, the day was an adventure. Here's to Brittany and James, just a few of my favorite photo moments of their day. And no, I didn't only do b & w but I happen to be in love with a lot of them from this wedding day.

Because I can't resist...Luke David

I was asked by a good friend to take some shots of her sweet two-month old Luke, in hopes of capturing that Christmas card shot! So I am only sharing a shot from this shoot so that I don't spoil the card...I might put up a few more later when they choose their card :) Enjoy...let's just say babies know when you are trying to get a good picture of them looking adorable...and they aren't up for it!

In love..with this couple, this winter day and the moments that follow!

On a cold Sunday afternoon, Alan, Nicole and I ventured to Old New Castle (for those of you not from around here, it's a historical part of the original 13 colonies on the Delaware River). The sun was a yummy yellow and the Christmas spirit was in the air with all the fabulous decorations. I have to say couples like Alan & Nicole make it easy -they're in love, they're nice to look at, and were up for anything I wanted them to try! I found myself smiling at my computer today while I worked on these because of the sweet moments we captured and the fun we had! It was actually pretty hard for me to choose what to post... enjoy!

Oh to be two again...

Last weekend I got invited to do a shoot for a friend of her two year old nephew, Christian. What a stinkin' cutie! I mean he was dressed perfectly and could work up tears that would break your heart at the drop of a hat! He even already has a strategy for how to eat an oreo, he just eats the cream and he loves choo-choo trains (lucky for us there was one where we met). What's not to love about this adorable boy?! Enjoy him as much as I did!

Ashley's Engagement session

So as many of you know my little sister (sister in-law technically but she's just a sister in my book) is engaged! It will be a bit of a longer engagement until she is done with college but exciting all the same. I had the chance to shoot her and her fiance Sean about a month ago on his fall break from college. We headed to his hometown, Chesapeake City, MD to get some great shots! Enjoy!

Stale blog like stale bread

The definition to stale is "no longer fresh or pleasant to eat; hard, musty or dry" - that pretty much sums up my blog :) Stale! As many of you (my 2 readers) know though, I have almost 5 month old twins, so that has consumed my every waking (& sleeping) moment! I have recently been able to start doing official shoots again and have been having so much fun doing it. In the next few days I will post some images from recent shoots. I have been posting recent shoots in my "notes" section on facebook so some of these images will be repeats for you facebook stalkers.

In recent weeks I know that I have been growing in my photographic ability and desire to keep pushing it. I have always had a vision, since I held my first camera in my hand at 5 (it was free from buster brown's with my pair of shoes!) I actually still have the pictures from that first camera and although the skill is much improved (as well as the equipment) the vision is the same, snapping moments in time in our lives. I am daily contemplating what it would be to go into business for myself on a larger scale. I am a small operation (me) & love what I do but fear sometimes holds me back. You know all those "what ifs" that keep you stuck.....hoping to get unstuck & keep pursuing my passion (in between diaper changes, naptimes and never-ending laundry) :)

So long for today!
