#43 of 100 in the "Things I Like" Challenge ...being part of a special moment in time, especially when it is a family member :)

2012-01-08T14:04:00.000-06:00

She had no idea he was about to ask...

The big moment

He is so romantic

She said "YES!"

My cousin and his soon-to-be-wife

In love

Favorite shot of the night

So happy

They are so cute!

As soon as I got a few shots of the happy couple, the Iphones came out...

Must send to friends!

Finally out of the cold and able to take some good shots on her phone.

#37 of 100 in the "Things I Like" Challenge...discovering a new editing tool

2011-11-14T20:54:00.001-06:00

I do not usually do this kind of thing with my photos, I tend to like the more natural look, but this photo was too fun to pass up! :)

#36 of 100 in the "Things I Like (or in this case "love")" Challenge...Cait (a sister by heart)

2011-11-14T20:52:00.001-06:00

Cait and I met four years ago. We were immediate friends and sisters.
Over the past few years I have watched her battle a life threatening situation with grace and a strength that is beyond her years. This holiday season, I am thankful that she is now (physically) on the road to living the dreams she has carried inside for so long... one of them will be coming true early next year when she finally marries the man of her dreams :)

2011-04-28T19:19:00.004-05:00

(I had this as a kid. Seeing them while I was in Maine this past weekend stirred up some childhood memories of sitting down, reading the pages, and wondering what Maine was really like. Funny to find myself some 20 years later actually walking the coast line)

My apologies...

2010-08-06T06:47:00.003-05:00

I apologize I have not posted any new pictures recently. Had a 10 day stretch at work.

BUT, I am on vacation now and will have lots of pictures to post soon!... Continue on with my "100 Things" challenge

Until then, I appreciate everyone of you who looks at my site. It means a lot!

#7 of 100 "Things I Like" challenge...RAIN

#6 of 100 "Things I Like" Challenge...Barnes and Nobel

#4 of 100 "Things I Like" challenge...Reading...

2010-07-17T12:43:00.003-05:00

I love reading!...history, biography, fictional, even school books (which I will be starting again next month).

Most times, I like to get up really early in the morning, go to B&N and/or Sbux with a book (or two), laptop, ipod, journal and spend a few hours just being with myself. :)

(17 July 2010)

#3 of 100 "Things I Like" challenge... Museums

2010-07-17T12:23:00.004-05:00

DMA 16 July 2010 ... Claude Monet, "The Seine at Lavacourt". No, I did not get in trouble for taking this shot. I was on the levels where you are allowed to take non-flash photographs...but it probably helped that none of the employees were around at the time...lol

#2 of 100 Things I Like Challenge...Hats

2010-07-13T18:50:00.004-05:00

At this point, I actually have more hats than I do shoes.

My old roommate pointed out (kindly) that that fact really wasn't the greatest, considering I am a female that works in a professional setting and should have a larger collection of dress shoes...

I do not know where the taste for hats came from, but I have always liked them.

(The navy blue hat with the Eagle and "USA" was one of my grandfather's. He served in the Navy during WW2, both the Atlantic and Pacific. It's the only thing I have of his, and I treasure it deeply.)

I only put one of the "wet" shots in but there will be more to come)

Taking a breath...

2010-05-21T14:28:00.001-05:00

Hi Guys,

I am so sorry I have not posted in a while! Between finishing finals, moving, and work, I just have not had the time to upload anything.

But I hope to be able to end that season of my life very soon! I have a photo shoot for a friend this weekend, and with school behind me (at least for the Summer), I should be able to edit and post a few this weekend. :)

Thank you for your patience!

I hope you all are having a great start to the Summer season

Ashley has been a friend of mine for years, and was the first to ever ask me to do wedding pictures. (my saying "yes" to do her wedding ended up being the kick-off to my "career" as a photographer).

She is about 5 weeks away from giving birth to her baby boy :) and asked if I would do some family shots before he comes. Of course I said yes! (which, amazingly enough, is another "first" for me...they must really trust my picture taking abilities...lol)

These are the first of the shots I have been able to edit.
