Evan

I just had to post these two pictures of my cousin Evan that I took during the family reunion down the shore. He's just so handsome and it blows my mind how grown up he is and that he's graduating highschool in just a few short weeks! I am old! haha.





I loved his belt buckle. Apparently it's some rapper's symbol? I don't know. Like I said, I'm old. :-)

Ashley: Portrait

When I met Ashley, I was not just blown away by how gorgeous she is, but by how completely sweet she is too! She was up for anything with the shoot and totally worked it the whole time. :-) Here are just a few of my favorites from our session. :-)



I could NOT resist the Batman wall! :-)

















At the very end we found a little bit of nature :-)

Ashley: Portrait (Preview!)

Here is a little preview of my shoot with the beautiful Ashley. :-)



Ashley is a model who was looking to update her portfolio a bit, so we had a super fun day of shooting down around South Street! I'll have a full post up tomorrow! :-)

Ashley & Cheech :-)

This past weekend was our annual family reunion down the shore and it was just awesome! But what made it even extra awesome this year is that my cousin Ashley's boyfriend Cheech, proposed! He took Ashley up to the roof deck of my parents house where there is just the most beautiful view, and asked her there. It was so sweet! CONGRATULATIONS Ash & Cheech! I love you guys!

Here are just a couple images I snapped really quickly of the happy couple. :-)

84 days and counting! :-)

So I think the biggest thing people say to me when they find out I'm a wedding photographer is, "So you must have like a really great photographer for your own wedding, huh?". And I just smile sweetly and say, "I sure do!", when deep down I'm thinking, "Dude, if you only KNEW! I have a freakin' insane photographer to shoot my wedding!!!" (And I'm totally thinking good insane, not crazy person insane).

_____________

Shortly after Mikey and I got engaged last summer, we were out to dinner with my parents "talking wedding" when the question of who the photographer was going to be came up. I played it off all cool, but the truth is I had gone into this dinner with a plan. I knew EXACTLY who I wanted our wedding photographer to be, it was just a matter of convincing my parents of my awesome idea.

I waited until my parents had each had a glass of wine (so sneaky, I know!) and I said in my sweetest, most charming good daughter voice, "Well.....there is this one photographer out in California who is like totally amazing and has been such an inspiration to me both personally and as a photographer....but....(looking off longingly out the window) I'm sure she wouldn't be available anyway and it would probably be too much to fly her out here......". And then I waited. My parents looked at me. My dad looked at my mom. He looked back at me. He took a sip of wine. And then he said, "What's this photographer's name?". And BAM! I had him. And that's the second I knew I was getting Jasmine Star to shoot our wedding, because what they hadn't known is that I had already contacted her and found out that she was indeed available and willing to fly out to Philly. All I needed was mom and dad on board. :-)

Jasmine truly is awesome and Mikey and I are sooo psyched to have her shooting our wedding! She sent us out our engagement album last week and it's sooooo gorgeous! Here are a few photos:









And here are just a few images from Jasmine's blog from our engagement shoot in Las Vegas in case you missed it :-) Click here to go right to the post on Jasmine's blog to see more! She rocks!!!





I'm headed down the shore now for the annual Memorial Day weekend family reunion! Woo! Have a fantastic weekend everyone!!! :-)

The goings on :-)

I have lots of stuff going on today, including shooting a wedding later on that I'm totally psyched for! Yay! But first I thought I would do a little post about what's been going on lately:

* I thought for sure I should update on my progress from this post since it's been like 2 months. :-) I've actually been doing pretty well! The results aren't coming as fast as I would like them to, but I guess that means I'm going about it the healthy way? That's what I'm telling myself anyway. haha. But I can definitely notice a difference. And while I'm still not into my favorite jeans, the ones I was wearing are too big! Hooray! :-) So today I am going to go for a nice long walk before the wedding and clear my head and get pumped! Woo!

* Yesterday we had some pretty crazy weather, and in between storms I hopped outside to take a photo of the peonies in the garden and thought I would share. :-)



* This weekend is Memorial Day Weekend! For my family that means family reunion down the shore! Yay! So once Mikey gets off of work tomorrow afternoon we are heading on down and I'm just soooo looking forward to the gorgeous weather and sitting on the beach, and of course seeing everyone. :-)

* And last but not least, earlier this week my and Mikey's engagement album from the amazing Jasmine Star arrived in the mail and it is GORGEOUS! I'm going to do a blog post about it hopefully tomorrow before I leave. That girl is just beyond talented.

OK, well I guess that's all for now! Have a fanastic Friday everyone!! :-)
