DWF Photography Conference – Nashville, Tennessee

Well, I have definitely kicked off the new year in a great way. I just got back from Nashville for a Photography Conference and have arrived home having learned a lot, been inspired and excited for this coming year’s photographic events. While we were there, I had the opportunity to do a shoot with some models. This shoot was so much fun. Here are some photos from the shoot, and I will post some of the personal ones a little later… enjoy…

Rachel and Richard- Married Shamong, NJ

Yesterday Austin and I went out to the Pine Winds Zen Center for Rachel and Richard’s afternoon winter wedding in Shamong, NJ. Rachel and Richard’s wedding was a very intimate event with 12 guests, and really focused on their love for one another. Their children also each had a special part in the ceremony. This intimate ceremony focused on compassion, loving-kindness and respect for all. The Pine Winds website states “Zen – is a way of living your life, in a particular way, with a particular concentration of mind, a tranquil and simplicity of mind, that generates the experience of enlightenment and, through that experience, true and sustainable happiness.” Rachel and Richard’s wedding was a great way to close out our 2009 weddings with such a great couple.

Christmas Card


This was our Christmas Card this year. Every year I try to think of something silly that involves our beagle Lola. For this year’s Christmas card I actually ended up drawing freehand the Charlie Brown scene and then placing Lola on top of the dog house. It was a lot of work, but I know it made my family and friends smile when they got it. We also got some great Christmas cards this year, and especially some great photo cards.

We hope that you all had a great Christmas this year, and have a happy and healthy new year. Keep your eye out for some fun new blog posts on the way.

Christmas Photos- My Nephew Alex

I have a few holiday related things that I haven’t posted yet, but I have been waiting to post these photos. In the beginning of December, I went down to my sister-in-laws house while she was at work and Glenn was home with the baby to take some surprise Christmas photos of my nephew. This was my first baby shoot, and it was even more exciting because my plan was to give these photos to Erica and Glenn as a Christmas present(Obviously Glenn was in on the plan). So… here are a few of my favorites that I can now finally post on here, because I gave them their prints yesterday…

How cute is our little nephew Alex???
