My desk is right next to a wall of windows that look out to the front yard of my house. This also happens to be where most of our bird feaders are. Makes for a rather distracting but very cool view. We haven’t had many birds show up yet this winter and I’ve been anxiously…
Marty & Vanessa chose to use their print credit for a book of some of their favorite engagement photos. These books offered by Pictage are perfect for this kind of thing. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy multiple photos without having to buy individual prints. It also provides the added bonus of not having to…
We have snow!!!! I took a few photos yesterday during the storm- and wanted to share them with you. It’s about time we have some white on the ground. Next step- get my ski’s tuned and hit the slopes That says we had 8 inches and that was at about 9 am yesterday… it didn’t…
I’m not a bad cook- now baking… thats another story. A few days ago my friend Shannon and I decided to have a baking extravaganza. We didn’t start until 8pm so it wasn’t much of an extravaganza but it was fun and tasty!!! We decided to keep it simple on our first attempts of the…
A few weeks ago I started telling people that I wanted snow for my birthday…. well as Silas and I drove south on Rt 16 to Boston on Saturday, the snow began to fall. Even though it only accumulated to a few inches… there is still snow on the ground two days later. I hope…
Diane Arbus put her love for photography into the perfect words: "Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies”. I say bring on the cookies and while I am stuffing my face with sugary goodness I am also striving to capture the emotion, moments and love that is happening right in front of my lens.
I am a wife (newly wed!!!), a doggy momma and 6 feet tall. I'm most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt but have found myself warming up to the new trend of leggings- almost as comfortable as yoga pants yet acceptable to be seen in public wearing. I love to travel and can't wait to get back to Scotland where my husband, Silas, and I spent our honeymoon. I love people and I love to talk. I hate to write, I'm a terrible speller (thank goodness for spell check). I am a wanna-be foodie and wineo.
I'm a pretty easy going person and I think that aspect of my personality really comes through in my style of photography. I'm not a photographer who poses you by coming up and moving your left arm here, your right arm like that, twist your head this way and that... I'm a little more hands off and a little more about you being you in front of the camera. When it comes down to it you are hiring me to capture YOU. Your life, your family, your wedding. The more I can do to make you comfortable and feel like yourself the better. You'll often hear me say things like "snuggle" to my couples or tell the kids to go kick a soccer ball in the yard for family photos.
I want to know you, we can grab a drink or have dinner at a local pub or just walk down the street to my favorite coffee shop but my goal is to get to know you just a little bit better so that when I'm capturing your life, be it your wedding day, engagement photos or family pictures that you are comfortable with me and I'm comfortable with you so that this camera in my hand isn't the main focus of the day. Capturing you and your life is.
So, hears to a joyous life full of love and beautiful art.
