this summer

listening to this while editing photos and thinking about all the moments, both big and small, that have made up this summer (which isn't over yet!):

 

 

 

sunsets, a cadillac, and my lake

I know...I do...I haven't been around here lately.  The last two months have seemed like a blur, but a good blur.  There are lots of images just waiting for me to edit them...and many clients anxiously waiting for their photos, and I'm excited to deliver them.  I'm also looking forward to sharing all of them with all of you!

Last week was my vacation (an actual, for real vacation).  It was a wonderful, wonderful week - filled with many of my most favorite people in this world.  We spent a good deal of the time swimming and relaxing by the lake, having many conversations, and sharing in some very memorable moments.  I'll be telling some stories in greater detail in a few days, but for now a few photos for you.

After spending a week at my lake house in NJ with 10 people, I am at my house for a few days by myself.  The first night was sad...being alone with the silence surrounding me.  I cannot remember the last time I was at my NJ home, by myself for this long.  Last night I enjoyed a fire in the fireplace and felt incredibly comfortable and very much at peace in my childhood home.  I do love it here.

This morning the rain has stopped, but the wind has picked up.  It's still a beautiful day and a beautiful view.  And, I get to spend time with my cat Rascal...whose new favorite spot is a pedestal on our back porch.

Two weekends ago Peter and I were in Wellfleet, MA - another place that makes me feel very much at peace.  We were photographing Julia & Peter's wedding.  It was an absolutely gorgeous Cape day.  We both felt very lucky to be a part of their celebration.  Many more photos to come, but here are two for you now.

Check back in just a bit for Shannon & Amanda's engagement shoot at Castle Island!

Aynsley & Tom | engaged

There was a while in June when all of my engagement shoots were being postponed due to rain.  The night Aynsley & Tom's was cancelled the Boston area ended up being absolutely poured upon, so good decision by us!  When we finally met up we were given overcast skies, but we ignored them...and very well I'd say.  Aynsley & Tom have a great connection.  All of these images feel warm and wonderful - and are filled with smiles and quite a bit of laughter.

We began in the Public Gardens - walked down Newbury - and ended at the Boston Public Library...

Thank you for a fun evening!  Peter and I are looking forward to November....but, you know, not too much yet...there's still summer to be enjoyed!!
