weddings, events, weddings and more! I love this time of year!!!

I welcome the summer season with joy!! The busyness, crowds and beautiful sunsets allow me to achieve one of my greatest pleasures of working with you, my customers. Today the sun is actually shining and it looks like it will stay that way, this is reason enough to be happy.

I have been photographing a lot this month, which is why I have not been able to blog.

I was at Chatham Bars Inn with IFA, franchisors from all over the US came to Chatham to enjoy their summer meeting. Unfortunately it wasn't summer in Chatham yet and it rained, and rained on them. Working with such groups really brings a different aspect to my business.

Congratulations to Anna & Harley!! The weather decided to cooperate for them! YEAH- There guests from 15 different states enjoyed a delicious NE clambake when they arrived here in Harwichport and yesterday a beautiful & stunning wedding took place at Wychmere Harbor Club.

The past month....

I was thrilled to host a fundraiser for the Harwich Early Childhood program.

All in all it was a very fun day and some fabulous families got a rare opportunity $75.00 session fee ALL proceeds went to HCPC! These are just 2 images form the day.

Thank you for being a part of what I hope is an annual fundraising event

Weddings, weddings and more weddings

It has been a very busy Spring with weddings. What a great way to begin the season. Ironically enough all of my weddings so far and the next 2 have been at Wequassett Inn. By the way the Inn looks stunning with there newest phase of construction. It is such a pleasure seeing all the dynamics of each family and working with them all. I have always loved that aspect of my photography business.

I'll upload a few of my favorites images. I also had time for Harwich Little League photos and my twins are in that group. It has been quite a few years that I have been fortunate to capture these kids. It so much fun seeing them all grow up through the years. Tonight I will be toasting with all my Harwich friends at the Toast of Harwich, again at Wequassett. SO if you are on your way there don't forget to have your photo taken! I am sure it is not often you are dressed up, without the kids, and at such a stellar setting!

ALSO~ My new studio is in full swing. I am thrilled with the renovations of the space and can't wait for you all to see how quaint it is.

A new season

I am thrilled to have enjoyed a fabulous wedding last night at Chatham Bars Inn. Katie & Steve were absolutely adorable and one of the most enjoyable couples to work with. Patrice Milley did a stunning job decorating the Boat House for the ceremony and the Main Dining room looked like a classical ballroom. Were we able to photograph outdoors, despite the chilly temps, it was a picture perfect day!! MY favorite part of the day was the "gift" Katie's parents gave to Katie & Steve!! Gail Fitzpatrick came from Carlisle Ma to paint a live canvas of the wedding reception- stunning, amazing and just jaw dropping. You can see her work in progress in the photo I have attached. She then goes home to put the finishing touches on the canvas. An amazing piece of art for the couple to begin their lives with. Thank you Katie & Steve for allowing me to share in your wedding day!!

The season has begun and I could not be happier!!

Learning more & more

More photography conventions continue this week. I was thrilled to attend the Wireless Flash tips & tricks with world famous photographer Mike Fulton of Tricoast photography. This is where professionalism can be seen and where are professional stands out above the average photographer. We were able to interact, ask questions, listen to & watch demos. SO much knowledge, when will Spring arrive so I can get some shooting in?!?

this weekend I will be heading to Newport, RI for a photoshop crash course. There is always more to learn and new shortcuts being introduced in the adobe world. I am not a techno junkie so I need as many refresher course along the way. I welcome the conventions, conferences etc. It is a wonderful way for me to stay connected with my colleagues, my competition & my "idols" for lack of better word.

All of these courses are gearing me up for what looks to be another VERY promising season in 2009!

Can't wait to see you here~ ( and see some warmer weather)
