    sara & ryan get engaged!

    Ryan is a longtime client and to say that my head was spinning when he asked if i could come shoot his proposal photos would not be an exaggeration! I mean he’s still a little kid in my head who HATES getting his picture taken! Time does fly by! Here is our lovely and artistic rendering of how we were positioning the proposal. And here are the resulting shots from the actual proposal. She said yes! Congratulations to Ryan & Sara and thanks so much for having me along for the ride!

    jacqueline & craig

    This couple came to me thru my faux niece Bitsy as Jacqueline is Bitsy’s fiance’s sister. Follow that? We only had this one day to do their session as Craig lives out of town and was only around for this date- so even though it was crazy windy and threatening rain, we went ahead and got it done. Loved Jacqueline’s request of bike riding on the boardwalk while holding hands! I’ll be photographing their wedding soon so be on the lookout for those pictures by the end of this summer. Congratulations to the happy couple!

    catie & austin + almost christopher rowan

    Their baby will be here in just a few days! So happy I got to photograph another milestone for this awesome couple. Their maternity session was on a somewhat chilly evening at the beach, but they did great (even in minimal coverage!) and we had lovely light to go with their glowing pregnancy! So check out Catie & Austin’s maternity session and stay tuned for baby pictures like really soon! Send them all your well wishes for a healthy and easy delivery.

    elvar & katie get engaged, but not really…

    Elvar & Katie came to me thru my photografriend Gina who wasn’t able to shoot their last minute session, so I stepped in. They have been married for 10 years (it was actually their 10 year anniversary on the day of our shoot) and Katie’s original engagement ring got misplaced someplace along the way. So Elvar picked out a gorgeous new engagement ring for her and set up (with the help of his brother and sister in law) a suprise “proposal” at Sunken Meadow beach. Katie was very surprised, they had a rather large audience of strangers cheering for them on the boardwalk, and we shot a few fun pictures for their engagement/anniversary/proposal/celebration. We unfortunately had to cut it shorter than we had originally planned as their daughter was home sick and they needed to get back to her fast, but I think we got some great photos in the time we had. Congratulations and happy anniversary to the happy couple!

    catherine & chris get engaged!

    Chris popped the question out in Southampton on the beach and I was so happy to be there to capture it. Chris and Catherine are like a total power couple- she’s in medical school and he’s in law school, and are still so lovely, down to earth and totally in love. They were great to photograph and I wish them only the best in their very bright future together! Loved the beautiful and simple engagement ring in a gold setting- you don’t see that too often these days.
