Sean is leaving today to serve our country in Iraq!! He, along with many other men and women in the National Guard will be serving overseas for a year!! Please keep all of them in your prayers---their families as well! Sean, Michelle and Julia have meant soooo much to me for the past nine years that I feel like another son is going to Iraq!! They are just an awesome family---better

I could not have asked for a nicer couple that Kristin and Leon. It was such an awesome day--the ceremony was very moving and right on and the weather was gorgeous. We did have to hustle through the pictures with the sun setting quickly but I so enjoyed spending this day with Kristin and Leon. They are so in-love.

The middle sister- the middle child- beautiful Amanda. Crystal is her big sister- Michelle her baby sister! As you can see she is as beautiful as her sisters!!! Because of a quickly setting sun we had very little time at the boardwalk. Thank goodness she needed very little direction in posing, a photographers dream! Thank you Amanda!!!

I am an incurable romantic!! That being said, I guess it is clear that I have the most awesome Job!!!! I love to listen to music while I am culling through my sessions. Van Morrison's Someone Like You came on while I was working on Jeff and Meg's session. The romantic side of me just went: Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! such a perfect song for a beautiful couple!! I had to put it on repeat

Wind and clouds and then add long beautiful hair---yikes!! Could be the kiss of death for a portrait but lucky for us, the sun peeked through just enough to get some shots. Now the wind was another story--we could only face in one direction so the hair wouldn't be all over the place and both of our eyes were watering. Thank goodness that direction was facing that

I met Doug and Karina at a Panera Bread on a rainy day. I was so taken not only by their good looks, but by how loving they are. Karina smiles all the time.

Rain, rain, and more rain is what Cathy and Ryan had on their wedding day!!! Didn't seem to matter even a tiny bit to them. It was all about getting married!!!Cathy just about ran down the aisle and high fives were abundant on the alter. I have known Cathy since she arrive on this earth. She has always had an exuberance for life. This was an awesome wedding and a crazy fun reception. Than

Could this girl be any more beautiful??? We were limited to a mid morning shoot--light was difficult but girl was magnificient!! Brittany is not a beach girl (I know----how can a Cape Cod girl not be into the beaches???) so we decided to find other places--even the train station.

Nolan's Mom called me to do his senior picture and it was like a 'WOW' for me!! When his Mom was a teen ager, I sponsored her in 'ECHO' (a wonderful teenage retreat here on the Cape)!! I thought she can't possibly have a high school senior??!! But, time does march onand she does........what a handsome, personable young man!! Thank you, Nolan....I enjoyed every second of our time at Loop Beach!

As I have said before on this blog--- I LOVE boys!!! It is not that I don't love girls because I DO. It is just that photographing the sprirt of little boys - expecially brothers - brings back crazy memories of my own five when they were this age!Jack is the oldest of these brothers and cousins! The first time I photographed him was the summer he was ten months old. He is now THIRTEEN!!! I

While vacationing with her parents on the Cape from Wisconsin, little R met me in Woods Hole by Nobska Lighthouse to take some 18 month pictures. The beach sand in her toes did not make this little beauty happy!! Do you blame her? It was cold, gray and windy--typical New England and here we were putting her feet in the cold damp sand!!!

I met Nathan and Cara at the boardwalk last night. It could not have been anymore gorgeous. The sun and the sand were a little bright for Nathan's eyes (he has been burning the midnight oil working on his PhD) but we got some great shots anyway........ I can only say that Cara with her beautiful blue eyes and blonde hair is going to be a stunning bride!!!! I look forward to it, guys!!!

As time goes by, Sarah is another senior picture that I was just sure was only a couple of years ago but........It was more like ten years ago!!!! I was sooo excited when she called me to do her wedding but the bonus was meeting Jason---what an awesome couple they are. I hope they had as much fun as I did doing their engagement pictures!!!! Their wedding is on my 'can't wait' list!!!!

Sam and Melissa.......What can I say about a groom who finally is marrying the love of his life......they fly up from Florida to get married at the Moores in Wood Hole. His whole family (whom I happen to love and have had the pleasure of photographing other members big days)is here to enjoy this most awesome of days in Sam and Melissa's life! Three days before the wedding, Sam decides to show his

Check out these three beautiful children! Children?......Beautiful young ladies is probably more like it!!! This family was on Cape Cod for a week vacation and I had the honor of taking their family picture. I say honor because this was soooo much fun. I hope they enjoyed their vacation and these memories of being together as a family---they were awesome! Thank you, L family........

I met Alyson seven years ago when I did her older sister's senior pictures. Alyson was only about ten then---wow, have you grown up!!! Beautiful, smart and very fun to work with. Alyson just graduated two weeks ago from Falmouth High School and will be on her way to UMass- Amherst in the fall. Good luck, Al, and I hope to see Danny in the fall!!!!

I have known Tiffany since the day she arrived on this earth and now she is (in the image, at least) two weeks from having her own baby. She and Leo did not know what the sex of their baby was--such self control, I couldn't wait!!! When I see Leo looking at Tiffany, all I can think about is how lucky this little one is because, as the saying goes, "The greatest gift a man can give to his

Amy and Eric said their vows on a beautiful Friday at St. Thomas Chapel on Falmouth Harbor. Amy truly strut down that aisle with a big smile on her face. A more beautiful bride would be very hard to find!! The happy couple and their guests walked along the harbor behind a bagpiper to their destination of Falmouth Yacht Club. Having known both of these young people for many years--Eric, since

After nine years, Cassandra and Jason finally said "I do"!! These two are a fun couple and are delightful to work with (even though Jason refused to take his shoes off at the beach)!! What a day they had!!! It was sunny and beautiful (every girls dream for her wedding day) and it rained (everyone knows that rain means luck for a bride and groom) and to top it all off, a beautiful rainbow appeared

Colleen called in Dec. to get her senior pictures taken. Burrr.... I told her to dress warm because the beach would be cold!!! I had no idea how much the camera would love Colleen. She was loaded with personality and just whipped that jacket right off and got into it!!! She was fun to talk with and fun to take pictures of!!! How gutsy she was on that freezing cold day, I know Colleen can do

Here is the other duo of my 'Brrrrrrr....shoot'!!!! This is Lauren. She is every bit as beautiful and gutsy as Colleen. They are hoping to get an apartment together next Fall in the city. These girls have great plans for their future and a beautiful friendship.

I first met Shari when her older brother brought her to my house as a four year old!!! When her Mom, Robin, called to see if I would do her Senior pictures, I was shocked!!! Shouldn't she still be in middle school? What a joy it was to see this beautiful girl arrive at the beach when in my mind, she was still three feet high holding her brother's hand. Thank you, Shari, for letting me have this

Lindsey and Shauna met me at the beach this morning--best friends!! It was fun doing their senior pictures. They both were wonderful models!!! Could they be any more beautiful? When we finished, we did some fun shots of 'girls having fun'!! Thanks, girls, for letting me share this with you!!! Also, thought you guys would like a low resolution copy of the above storyboard to post on your facebook

Their wedding was at Coonamesset Inn but we hit all of the great places in Falmouth to do their pictures. Nothing could be better than a Cape Cod wedding: the beach, the jetties, the light houses and the wooden foot bridges!!! Not much direction was given to this fun couple-----they just seemed to enjoy every second of it!! I hope their life together is as wonderful as this day was!Enjoy your

Kelly and Chuck got married in the Virgin Island of St. John in June. After seeing many trash the dress pictures on the web, Kelly just had to do this!!! She wanted to do this on the beach that she grew up on. Wow,did she have fun!!!! We attracted quite a little crowd watching us --- I am sure they were trying to figure out 'WHY'. I know that it was entertaining for them because it certainly was

I just love the concept of 'trash the dress', but having never done it before, I thought I might like to practice. This is where Sarah comes in. . . .I emailed Sarah at work and told her what a beautiful warm day it was outside and elaborated on how much fun it would be to photograph a trash the dress session. She knows that I have an old wedding dress here because she has had to pose for me in

Baby A was a joy to photograph, at a year old she knows how to perfectly play to the camera. Mom and Dad your doing a great job with baby A, I hope to be able to photograph her many more times as she grows up. These are just a few of my favorites from our time together.

Kevin and Katelynn's wedding took place at Ocean Edge in Brewster, MA. Every detail was magnificent! These two met at a wedding I was photographing and started dating at another wedding I photographed. Thank you guys for including me on your big day. Katelynn's wedding portrait is the current cover of Cape Cod Bride! If you haven't seen it yet, go check it out.
