Do you speak whale?

Monday, we took Phil's Mum and Dad to a whale watch in Boston. It was amazing! The whales were out and showing off for us :-) I took a million pics, but here are a few of my favorites. . .







John & Coralie Blake

Taia & German. . .at home in Essex, CT

Yesterday afternoon I drove down to my sister's house in the beautiful shoreline town of Essex. She wanted to have some summer photos done, and of course I jumped at the opportunity to get another photo shoot under my belt. We had a blast! Essex is a photographer's dream. . .beautiful docks, historical houses, the list goes on and on. Without furthur ado, Here are a few of my favorite shots of my beautiful sister, Taia, her husband, German, and their adorable Pug, Lola.

The Kids

Yes. . .it's ANOTHER puppy post. I recently took these shots of the pups and framed them. Everytime I walk by the photos I can't get over what beautiful, photogenic pups I have. I'm a proud puppy Mommy! Here a couple old baby pictures of them as well. How cute are they??? Just wait until we have "real" babies. . I think I'll go off the deep end with the picture taking and posting!!! :-)

Ariana & Bryan's Wedding

Last weekend, I had the priviledge of second-shooting Ariana and Bryan's wedding. It was a perfect day. . . Ari looked just beautiful and everything played out seamlessly. Laura Oliver and I had fun getting as many shots as we could to capture their day. This was my first time shooting a wedding and it was certainly a learning experience for me. Here are a few of my favorites from the day. . . .

Pure Bliss. . . .

Birthday Flowers

Technical difficulties. . . .blogger won't let me upload my photos! So. . .I discovered a new way to upload in a bigger size. Here is the post that was meant for my birthday - July 16th.

Today is my birthday and my wonderful husband sent the most beautiful flower arrangement to my work. What a sweetie!! He knows all too well that my favorite color is pink :-) I played around taking some pics. My lense isn't the best for flower pictures, but I had fun shooting them just the same.


These are my wedding/engagement rings in the flowers

Jamie & Kara's Wedding Reception

There are so many weddings happening this summer...Love is in the air! Jamie and Kara were married last friday on a mountain top in Virginia. Last night, Bob & Barb Howard hosted a recpetion at their home for all the CT friends. It was a beautiful night- according to the weatherman it was supposed to thunder like crazy, but it turned out to be beautiful and sunny. Bob and Barb have a beautiful backyard and a magnificent view off the end of their property. They had the gardens looking beautiful and set up white tents with chinese laterns around the edges. The backyard looked just beautiful as the sun was going down. Here are a few pics.
