Uppy Puppy

So, Gretl is 4 months old and I've already caved on my "no dogs on the furniture" rule. :) This weekend, it was SO cold and snowy that after our early morning traipse outside, I decided we BOTH needed to go back to bed. :) We snuggled, fell back to sleep for a couple hours, and then I decided to take advantage of the uber-cute pooch on my bed.

Don't leave me!


It's chilly without you, Mom!


You ARE comin' back, riiiiiight?


OK, well, I agree... this is an acceptable compromise.


Yep. Definitely.


Actually, I could get used to this.


Warm, cozy... what more could a girl ask for?


Wait, whatdya mean "Time to get off?!?


I'm really quite happy here!


THIS is where I belong! :)

I hope everyone enjoyed their snowy weekend!!! :) Stay warm!!!!

Wedding ::: 09.12.09 ::: Wadsworth Mansion, Middletown, CT

On September 12th, I had the great pleasure of shooting with Vicki Souza of Victoria Souza Photography. We both had the exciting challenge of shooting for Robin Dini, who had JUST given birth to her new little peanut. :) We had planned everything out in advance, and had even worked as trio during their engagement shoot. It was a full family affair and we had the best time.

This is usually posed in such a way for the photographer to get a great close up shot of all the flowers in one big bunch. I love standing off to the side and getting the girls laughing as they feel all silly squishing in together...






I have no idea. But it makes me laugh.


Love that the girls all did their own "thing."


Love the blue!

This was so unbelievably cute. They attempted to light the unity candle with their two candles, but the wind wouldn't let them. Then they broke out a grill lighter. And THAT wouldn't stay lit. =) It was hysterical.


It was a moment that I'm sure they'll never forget.


Right at the end of the ceremony... immediately after "The Kiss." And a stealthy groomsman in the background.


Oh the emotion in Erick's parents' faces!


It rained the entire time RIGHT UP until the ceremony so everyone unloaded their cars of umbrellas in preparation. But they weren't needed!




Mmmmm...


So adorable... their guestbook.


Such a sweet couple!


This group SERIOUSLY knew how to get down.












Thank you Robin, Vicki, Kate and Erick!!!! :)

Wedding ::: 09.06.09 ::: Guilford Yacht Club, Guilford, CT

September 9th, I joined Amanda of Orchard Cove Photography for a lovely wedding at the Guilford Yacht Club.











This cracked me up.


As did this. I love catching people.


So sweet.


Love the fidgeting!


Aren't they adorable?


Off to the Guilford Yacht Club!










Thank you, as always, Amanda! =) And thanks to Mike and Aimee for a wonderful day!!!!
