Hello Faithful Blog Readers! Thanks for not dissing me for being absent from the blog lately. I had surgery on my right wrist for carpel tunnel and it was impossible to type. I do have two weddings to post that will be coming very soon (peeks below). I will be out of the office all next week so I am trying to catch up as much as I can before I leave. I am visiting my dear friend Amy and her family in CA. I won’t have access to voicemail and I am going to try my hardest to ignore my emails. At least for a couple of days!

ONE LAST TEASER! I am doing a shoot at the end of the month that will knock your socks off. Contributors include Vicki Grafton of My Simple Details, and Barbara von Elm from Growing Wild. Here is the fabulous inspiration board that Vicki put together for us.

the uber-hot B+G for the shoot is Maria + Michael, my April Delaware couple. remember them? they rock!

They are already pros behind the camera so we are in for some FUN!

My friend and chic wedding planner Pam Barefoot from Atrendy Wedding and I set up a little themed shoot for her two beautiful daughters, Ansley and Berlynn. A large willow tree, tutus, a tea party, rocking horse, a nd a red balloon. Perfection.

The dark skies and heavy winds did not dampen our spirits and even the rain could not drive us away!

how adorable are they!?

I have been taking a lot of portraits this summer as some of you know. I don’t usually do more than 10 a year, and they are usually for the holidays, but i have deceided to grow my portrait side of the business with babies, kids, families, etc. Lots of em! If you would like to schedule a portrait session with me shoot me an email and we can set something up! I am all about props/themes/color!

I will be blogging a lot coming up so here is a little taste of whats to come. Enjoy!

i went locataion scouting for my 8/29 wedding and found these places. imagine a gorgeous couple in these pics! i can’t wait!

Finally, part two of Michelle + Steven’s wedding! As most of you know I’ve had surgery on my wrist (my right, and I’m a righty), so I am way behindon my blogging. I promise to get to all my weddings and portrait sessions soon!
