Hello friends. Melissa and I had the pleasure to photograph Jeff & Lorraine's wedding this past Saturday. Yes, the Saturday with the first snow of the winter. Lorraine asked for it so.. lol. It made for some tough times shooting outside but we all endured!

Even with the snowiness I must say, we had an incredible time. They are a lovely couple who have very loving family and friends. There was a uniqueness to this day. We're very thankful for this opportunity and hope you enjoy the sneak peak!

As I get older I become increasingly aware of what life is about. I have also learned to appreciate. Whenever I'm upset about something or something drastic happens in my life I remember how lucky I am. Look at how luck you are.. really think about it. Do you have a roof over your head, get to eat everyday, have family and friends? It's easy to see how fortunate you are when you put it in perspective.

This Thanksgiving I did just that (even though we missed dinner!). I added a few recent images of Ava & Bella, the two most incredible gifts I have.



She IS wearing a diaper, lol.





They like to look out the window when people leave the house.

Soo yeah, Steven & Courtney are awesome. We went down to Ocean City, NJ to take their engagement pictures. We were worried about the weather but they said they'd do whatever regardless. Luckily we had a beautiful day. We all clicked right away which made for a great day of shooting. Check out some pictures below and feel free to leave comments!

Thank you Steve & Courtney, we had a great time =0)

I know this picture is just Steve but its one on my favorites.















They could be models for sure.

I was first contacted by Christian to take pictures of him proposing to Andrea. It was a first for both of us but I was so excited to do it! (She said yes by the way)

Last week Melissa and I got to shoot their engagement session. The weather was perfect and the park we were at was FULL of people taking advantage. It was good that Christian & Andrea were not afraid of a little attention. We had a couple walk up to us with their two dogs and were trying to get Melissa and I over their house that night to look at some puppies they wanted to get rid of. Weird to say the least.

All in all we had so much fun and we're so please with the pictures. We can't wait to photograph their wedding next year!

I know it has been a while since we've posted pictures of our girls so here you go! We've settled into our new place and the girls are very excited about having their toddler beds(though they sleep in the same bed half the time) and their play room. Speaking of the beds, today after being put down for their nap today they ended up taking a nap together in a little red tent that they have in their room. With no pillows or blankets! They're too adorable.

It's amazing how quickly they are learning now. Bella took apart their night light and unscrewed the light bulb and brought it to me. The girls remember everything to. They can count to ten, say a fair amount of their abc's, and if I tell them that they can have chocolate milk after they take a nap the first thing they say when they wake up is, "Chakit Milk". I apologize for the run on but thats how I said it outloud to myself just now.

So below are some recent images. The first is Bella holding my hand as we walked to see the farm animals around the corner. I think its just so sweet that they will hold our hands so I had to take the picture. The second is Ava with Pappap on his tractor. He gives them rides around their house and they think its the best thing in the world. I asked Pappap to give me a ride to but that didn't work out. That would be a funny picture though, lol. The third picture is Ava and Melissa. Ava pets her first goat at the age of two. The last picture is Ava and Bella on Halloween. They were pirates and still think they are. I asked Bella what she wants to be when she grows up today and she said, "Pie-rit". I'd like to add that Ava said Daddy.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these images of our little ones. Look forward to seeing some pictures from the engagement shoot we did today.

Have a great day!

Michael and I were excited to shoot Fred & Devon's wedding! We shot their engagment pictures earlier this year and bonded instantly with them. Devon was gorgeous and everything about the wedding was gorgeous.

I always love a wedding with emotion and Devon was showing that emotion before the ceremony started, which of course brought tears to my eyes. Wether I know the person or not, if someone is showing emotion, I will most likely be joining them.

We are so happy for Fred & Devon! The wedding was a blast and so much fun! I hope they enjoy their honeymoon and the sneak peek of their wedding day.

Melissa and I had the pleasure to shoot Paul & Lauren's wedding. I've known Lauren for like 5 years. It was great seeing her again as well as so many other friends. This wedding was a wedding full of wonderful people. And despite running late and the weather, no one let that get in the way of celebrating this great couple coming together as one.

Thank you Lauren and Paul. Enjoy your honeymoon!

Check out the sneak peek!

Michael.
