The blog has moved...

You've reached my old blog... In order to simplify my blog, my portfolio and my life, I combined my blog and site into one. Now you can find my "blog" entries on my Recent Work page. You can also view my portfolio, link to slideshows and client information, and locate anything else you might need all in one place.

This blog contains old session blog posts, and my failed 2011 attempt at "One Image a Day" project in which I force myself to shoot something each day, personal or professional, as a challenge to myself. I'd love to hear what you think of the images as they might slightly stray from the norm. We'll see if I can pick it up for 2012!

Our night with Melissa & John was absolutely fabulous.  Amy came up from Providence to shoot with me and we had a blast.  Considering we’d never met face-to-face (but we “talk” every day), it was so awesome we could leave all our kids and take off for this shoot.  Of course it was at my favorite location, the weather was amazing, the light just the juiciest… and well… Melissa… Melissa & John… a yummy couple.  After I shot these, I was nervous about whether I could have a repeat performance and come up with something unique for them, but the stars aligned and we just had a blast.  Amy had some clutch ideas of how to spice things up and we are both so pleased with the outcome.  Can’t wait to see her sneak peak!

Melissa and John, it was an amazing night.  Hands down, my favorite part of the night was hearing Melissa tell us how much she loves John, about all the special things he does for her, and just how happy he makes her.  Her natural smile and laugh was so gorgeous and candid — it lit up the whole field.  And the way John looks at Melissa, like she is this fantastic gift that he waited a lifetime to receive and it’s 10,000 times better than he ever imagined it to be — it made my heart melt.

Thank you.  Really, thank you!

Based on what I wrote above, my absolute favorite from the night… yes, there are more “perfect” images on my card, but this one makes me really happy.

I love this one. I told her to hold her hand up and work it and I stinkin’ love it.

Yes, that’s Alison’s furniture out on the driveway.  Truth be told, we really wanted the velvet couch out there.  Maybe for holiday cards?  Pretty please?

That’s the look I am talking about!

And because no night is complete without a little rim lighting and flare…
