So much going on!

I haven't blogged in a while, I know. So I'm going to get started again now, but so much going on I'm not sure where to start!!! First a big thank you to all those who sent me get well wishes, now 'all better' and getting caught up. Well, if there is such a thing!!

We shot a really wonderful wedding on Valentine's Day this year, is that romantic or what?? I'll blog more about the wedding shortly, but right now I'm putting together a small 'mom' album so that my bride's mother can take some photographs back home to Europe from her daughter's wedding. I found out that European weddings are somewhat different from American weddings, so I want to learn more about those difference and other cultures too. (It's on my to do list)

More posts to come... more news... a great season ahead... very cool stuff. :)

Just loving Monday!!

Cara and Kevin Engagement Shoot

Last week we (me and Kasey!) took off to Hammonasset State Park for a really awesome e-session with Cara and Kevin, these two were so much fun we could have stayed all day except it had to be twenty below zero on the beach! They had me freezing when they actually took their coats off for some of the shots!! Must be why I'm feeling cold just editing them today. :) Anyhow, they were so much fun, we can't wait for the wedding, it should be much warmer, right??

Thanks for a fun time and, honestly, we really can't wait for the wedding!! :)
