I am a mother, a wife, a friend, and a photographer. Photography is the part of my life that has brought me here:
Welcome to my blog. Here you can find my most recent work along with other tidbits from life's adventures. I have had a camera in my hand since my first son was born 12 years ago. Since then, what was a hobby, has flourished into an obsession and a career. I find my passion for photography grows everyday. Whether it is something new to learn, a new friend to make, or a new place to explore. Photography challenges me, and allows me a creative outlet all at the same time. So I welcome you to look around and get to know me a bit, feedback and conversation are always appreciated. And check back often for new posts and stories!!!

How often is it that we all stroll through our lives as if each breath is a given? As if each moment is owed to us? As if every person is only exsisting to be part of the world that revolves around us? Not just today, but every day….
I am thankful for my boys. My healthy, wonderful, heaven sent, sweet boys!
And Joe….My gravity… who brings out every ounce of me that ever thought about being good…
November 30, 2009 - 9:52 am - Baby, you are the best! The true reality is that you are the glue that holds everything together. You are a great photographer, friend, the very best mother, and my sole mate. I love you! and thank you! oh, and aunt dawn I love you too, just not the same!!
November 29, 2009 - 10:24 pm - Ohhh yeah....and Eric! LOL...I forgot about him, cause I never see him anymore, cause he's too cool for school!
November 26, 2009 - 1:55 am - Umm....you forgot this man, right here.
November 25, 2009 - 10:03 pm - I'm sitting here crying. This post was really beautiful and hit a chord with me. We had a scare this week with Ewan losing his eye sight and our whole world temporarily fell apart. So many days we walked through life taking each breath for granted. This really made us step back and think about what's important. Your post just did this to me all over again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
November 25, 2009 - 2:40 pm - Have a great Turkey Day! Did you dye Noah's hair? It looks like he has highlights!! :)
November 25, 2009 - 2:22 pm - Very cool post! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving/Christmas tomorrow!
November 25, 2009 - 12:20 pm - I love Joe
“The Off Season Chronicles” starting now…
As most of you know wedding season 09 has past for me. Though I am still in touch with my clients, and hard working for them still, I am all done shooting weddings this year. That being said something has to grace this lovely blog. So in the next few days, weeks, and months I have cooked up a few ideas to keep you all coming back for more. One of those items will be some of the things that Joe and I did with the kids over the summer and the fall.
I am a bit backwards, but I am starting with this trip we took to a local orchard in October. We literally live 3 minutes from this orchard and have never stopped in to pick anything. Joe and I decided we wanted to try our hand at canning over the next year, so it gave us a perfect opportunity to stop in to the orchard. We picked blue berries, raspberries, and tons (seriously TONS) of apples. It happened to be on that more than perfect weekend we had in October when it was 70 or something like that. It was such a beautiful day and the kids had a ball. Noah ate his weight in blueberries, and we found out Branndon has no standards when it comes to the perfect apple. It doesn’t even matter if it has worms! It only matters how many bags you can fill in 4 minutes! Christian also showed us his juggling skills. Our day ended with a storm blowing in and a rare rainbow over the Litchfield Hills. We really did have a great time and we wound up picking enough apples for like 20 quartz or so of some seriously amazing apple sauce. My parents showed Joe and I the basics of canning when they visited in early October. Here are a few pictures I took of our trip to Ellsworth Orchard and Berry Farm. I would highly recommend anyone stopping by there in the summer and fall.

Thank you all for popping in. The blog will be updated quite a bit over the off season with lots of different fun things going on. Be sure to come back and check on things, and of course stay tuned for the 2010 wedding season. I have met with some really amazing couples that are going to knock your socks off!!!
December 13, 2009 - 2:14 pm - fun shots!
November 25, 2009 - 12:21 pm - Bubble quote for Noah in first pics, "I don't wanna pick any stupid apples."
November 24, 2009 - 12:29 am - Love the pictures! My fav is the one of Christian, Branndon and Noah walking away from the camera. Thanks for sharing!
November 21, 2009 - 12:14 pm - This is so GREAT !!!! My grandparents had a big garden, I miss it.
November 19, 2009 - 11:37 am - Great shots!!! I love the one where your youngest is eating the blueberries...precious!! Can't wait to see more photos :)
Sunday was Noah’s 3rd birthday, and as most of you know, I am really selfish with my boys when it comes to their birthdays. I don’t do parties or really anything else. I have to be the first one to tell them happy birthday, they get an obnoxious amount of hugs and kisses throughout the day, they get to pick their favorite dinner, I usually make a homemade cake, and the whole day we just spend time together as a family. Because when it comes down to it….nothing else matters! I can’t believe Noah is already 3. I know it sounds cliche’, but it seems like yesterday he was this little bean in my arms! Noah is an absolute joy and I feel so honored that God thought enough of Joe and I to allow us to be his parents.
Noah turning 3 eating his birthday cake
I took the opportunity on Sunday to take the kids out in the yard and grab some pictures of them. Here are some of the shots I got…
Noah, Joe, and I play this game called “Who do you love the most”. I’m sure all of you parents out there are familiar with it, but let me just fill in the blanks. Joe or I will ask Noah: “Who do you love the most?”, and no matter who is asking the answer is always “You!”. Here is a sequence of that conversation 
Here is Branndon, being sweet as pie…can anyone see his halo?
“The big one” (at least that’s what I call him these days) AKA Christian!
Here they all are together. I love how different they all are!
These are the shots I took while we were singing happy birthday.
And then he devoured the cake
Thanks for stopping by to see the kiddies. If you know me at all you know there is nothing more important to me than being a mom to these special guys. I can hang out and be me, I can be a great wife, and take some cool pictures, but all of those things run a distant second to these little dudes
October 24, 2009 - 10:22 am - Nice work as always!
October 20, 2009 - 12:06 am - AWESOME! Happy Birthday Noah!!

A few weekends ago I got to spend the afternoon with the Sipe’s again, only this time it was to welcome into the world their sweet baby girl Sofia! Ummmm…you had me at hello…SERIOUSLY! I think I did more holding and cooing, than photographing. Sofia talked to me the whole time, letting me know when she was ready for her close up and when she wanted to just chill! Watching Lucy and Chris go through this experience has been awesome and I know it is only going to get better for them. These two are natural parents and Sofia is quite the lucky girl to have them. Congratulations again guys, and thanks so much for sharing her with me for the afternoon!!!!
I love it when babies sleep like they are on a roller coaster…LOL..so cute!
I love how Sofia is looking at Chris here…the whole time she was so interested in everything he did……must be his bold features.
LOL…”and you can take that Daddy!!!”
