Meet Friday!

We finally had an opportunity to meet the newest member of our extended family a few days ago... our fun-loving, extremely mellow nephew puppy - Friday!! Sweetest, most adorable puppy ever! Okay, so, I'm a little biased. :)

In the News...

A few weeks ago I blogged about my experience photographing the special women behind Project Linus. Imagine my surprise to see one of the images I photographed at that event in the Portland Press Herald today! The article provides great PR for this wonderful organization, details it's plans for the future and highlights their upcoming quilt show. We hope you'll take the time to read the article and perhaps even check out the quilt show this Saturday, March 27th at St. Maximilian Kolbe Church in Scarborough. The event runs from 10AM - 3PM and includes quilting demos, prize raffles and contests.

Thank you!!

It's always such an honor for us to take part in a couple's wedding day. The wonderful celebration of two families coming together is one we never get tired of photographing and we work very hard to produce images worthy of this very special occasion. It's only made a little sweeter, when our images are noticed by others; so, we were very excited to learn that Gala Weddings recognized our work and chose to publish some of our images in their current Winter/Spring issue. A big 'Thank You!' goes out to Meghan and Geoff for sharing their beautiful wedding day with us!!

Project Linus

Yesterday afternoon, Project Linus and a group of 'blanketeers' took over the use room at St. Maximilian Kolbe Church in Scarborough. Surrounded by piles of fabric, blanket kits and every stitching tool imaginable, they set to work assembling and sewing blankets for children in need. Each blanket is handmade and given to a child who is seriously ill, experiencing trauma or otherwise in need of a bit of warmth and comfort. The Project Linus volunteers host 'Blanket Days' throughout the year all over the country. Check out their website if you're interested in getting involved in this very special project to benefit a child in your community.

Project Linus will also be hosting a Quilt and Blanket Show at St. Maximilian Kolbe Church in Scarborough on Saturday, March 27th from 10AM - 3PM to showcase some of the beautiful blankets they've created.

fun in the sun!

Up until a couple weeks ago, it had been a few years since we'd taken a family vacation. After wrapping up a very busy wedding and portrait season last year, we decided it was time to spend some quality family time together. We left the cold for hopes of warm Florida sun and perhaps catch a glimpse of that not-so-elusive mouse who holds residence in Orlando. We had such a great time as our son hit all the roller coasters for which he passed the height requirement and our daughter basked in the pampering of her own little princess boutique appointment. Some of our favorite memories... lunch with Shamu, luau at the Polynesian resort and just seeing our kids light up every day with the excitement of what the day would bring!

What made this vacation extra special was being able to share this time with my Mom and Dad. My father was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2001. We're grateful that he spent over 3 years in full remission before his symptoms began recurring last year. It was truly remarkable to see his energy and enthusiasm each day despite his fatigue from treatment and how hard his body is working to fight the cancer. You were a real trooper, Dad!! I'm so thankful for our time together.

The Walsh Family

The Walsh family traveled from New Jersey for some time at the beach this past summer. It's the second time we've had the opportunity to photograph this family - and, this year they had a special surprise for us... a new addition to the family!! It was so great to see everyone and see how much the kids have grown in just a few short years. Here's just a handful of the pictures we captured that day...
