Point & Shoot... beach style

At long last we took a weekend off! A few planes and cars later we joined dear friends in Rehoboth for a few days of serious R & R, incredible food, wine, and friends. And the opportunity to test a theory...

When I'm shooting I always have back ups for the back ups of my equipment. I believe you can never be too careful. But I also believe that a good photographer should be able to make some magic happen with nothing more than a pocket size point and shoot. I was hoping to prove that it is indeed your head (which has to know what that little camera can and can't do) and your heart (which leads you to beautiful moments that you want to keep forever) that make a great photo. It's not the equipment.

So after being just as lazy and happy with the gang on the beach as I possibly could, I gave in, picked up my itty bitty Nikon S5 and headed into the surf with the girls to see what we could make...

(I should also mention that I am seriously attached to these girls! Sayer's freckles stole my heart and Rosie had the energy of ten men! How she stayed in the water that long is a mystery to me. And they were kind enough to let me do puzzles with them, which is a quick way into my heart.)

The Sunflower Sessions...

The sunflowers are back! And I'm just too excited to stand it. They are just fabulous for portraits! The sunflowers are great for brides, engagements, families, high school seniors... Let your imagination roam!

So, in honor of the sunflowers being in bloom, I'm opening up two more last minute 'Sunflower Sessions.'

Update: The sunflower sessions are booked for this year. Tune in next summer for what promises to be an annual event...

Happy Birthday Ella!

I admit it. I've just been wanting sooo much to photograph Ella since the first time I met her. She's hilarious! I love it when babies crack themselves up. And I love how every portrait session has a vibe all it's own...

Happy Birthday Sasha!

Darling Sasha just turned one year old! After a heavenly cake that Natalia made and Sasha deconstructed, lots of presents, and lots of photos... we headed to the bathtub for a much needed clean up. I adore photographing babies in the bath. It's such a tender part of the bond between mother and child. And I love them in black and white. It just feels timeless...

Natalie & Mike... got married!

I love weddings. I truly do. And nothing could be better than the feeling of being surrounded by a family completely immersed in the joy of the celebration. Natalie & Mike had the most amazing wedding at Gold Lake Mountain Resort and Spa. The day was perfectly beautiful, the mojitos flowed like water, and there was love in the air...
