Bringing a camera to a party.

June 20, 2010

A dear friend of mine was throwing a party for her husband’s graduation and she asked if I would bring my camera. I love bringing a camera to a party! You get to photograph friends, family, strangers in a setting that promotes joviality and celebration. For those of us introverts you also get to hide a bit as well ;)

There were plenty of photos from that evening but most of the ones I’m posting are of the children. The children were so beautiful I couldn’t help myself!

Congratulations Slate and Rachel and thanks for letting me bring a camera to your party!

P.S. I was also in a mushy, swirly, black and white kind of mood as you can probably tell from the photos.

Little miss sunshine.

April 23, 2010

I probably have mentioned this before but I happen to be VERY lucky in the niece and nephew department. 2 nephews, 3 nieces and each happen to be the smartest, most creative and beautiful children you could ever meet (yes, I’m bias and very proud of it)!

I was able to spend a lovely afternoon in the park with my sister-in-law and 1 of my wonderful nieces.

Meet little K:

Apparently someone named Horton has an egg to sit on and apparently this is quite funny.

Remember rolling around on the ground?

The dried hydrangea formed little globes orbiting around K’s head. She was terribly fascinated.

Back to the serious job of hatching Horton’s egg.

Our Adventure Begins…

October 25, 2009

Jon and I left the country for three months. Yep, three months. I’m not sure why we chose the most beautiful season in New England to leave but we did. Two months (Oct 5 – Dec 5) sabbatical, visiting friends in the U.K. and Europe and then off to Cambodia for almost a month to work with my non-profit Love146 (Love146 combats child sex slavery and exploitation and cares for survivors).

We’ve been gone almost three weeks so I have a bit to catch you up on!

First let me say that I’m a people photographer through and through so photographing anything other than people is a good challenge!

Oxford.

Jon (my husband) was born in Oxford so it has long been a dream of mine to go there with him. We walked down paths and streets that he remembered as a child, it was wonderful. Jon’s brother Mark is studying early music (apparently it runs in the family) this year so we also got to catch up with him!
