I'm back after crazy couple of weeks out of town.  Unbelievably, I'm feeling refreshed after all that running around, large, in part to spending the tail end of my month at Jesh de Rox's wonderful workshop in NYC.  I want to spend some time on here telling you all about it, but I'm still gathering my thoughts.  In the meantime, here is one of our homework assignments from the week.  Here is my self portrait.  This was a challenge for me for several reasons, but I'm happy I pushed myself out of my comfort zone.  I'd love to know what you all think!

...for my last trip of the year.  I'll be gone for the rest of the month for a jam packed schedule of photoplus in nyc, a wedding in CT, and back to nyc for my last workshop of the year.  Somewhere in there I'll have a little bit of time with my cousins in CT as well.  Phone and intenet will be limited, so please bear with me.  I'll be returning all messages the first week of November. 

For now, I leave you with a tiny peak of Amy & Josh's engagement session from last week. 

It seems like forever since I've been to California!  This time, I'm going there to be a guest at a wedding!  Maybe you remember the bride and groom from  Thumper and Melissa's e-session?  Zach and I have a jam packed agenda of shoots and fun!  Zach has never been to California, so he is in for a treat! 

I'll be gone until Tuesday, September 2nd.  All phone calls and emails will be returned then.  For now, I feel like I should represent the east coast and leave you with some beach images of dirty jersey!  jk!  Well, it is dirty, (did you hear about the medical waste that washed up in Avalon last week?) but we still love it!

Welcome to my first custom blog!  I've been itching for a long time to do something custom and my ideas are finally live on the web!  Big thanks to the team at ITDR for making my ideas a reality.  My wedding site is so outdated, I decided to ditch it all together for now.  All portfolio images are now located within the blog to help streamline things a bit.  I'm still tweaking a few things here and there, hope you will poke around a bit, leave me some lovin', and come back often!

I got a nice little surprise yesterday morning.  I saw winners announced for this quarter's agwpja contest.  I have to admit, I have been really bad about not entering and was determined to get something in this quarter.  Of course, I forgot about it until I got an email reminder with the upcoming deadline of one day - and I was at my parent's beach house with hardly any material on my laptop!  So, I quick entered a few engagement images and place 16th for the engagement category!  Not too shabby!  Here is the image from  Sam + Pete's awesome session!
