Cherry Blossoms Festival – Better Late Than Never…

cherry blossoms 1

Year after year, it never failed. We would be sitting in our kitchen, stilled bundled in winter clothing and across the tv screen would come images of beautiful, sunny weather – flowers and trees in full bloom – spring shouting out its arrival. We’d look at each in wonder. Where the heck is that and how can we get there!?! That, my friends, was the yearly DC Cherry Blossom news headliner. Spring was no where to be found in Connecticut, in fact, it would be weeks and weeks until we’d get catch even a glimmer of it! I always promised myself, one day, one day I’m going to actually see those dang cherry blossoms! A flurry of texts between friends and a date was set and then reset (because you know how it is when you try to get more

Hangin’ with The Boys (A Day with Father and Son)

father and son

When was the last time you saw fun, professional images of a Dad with his child? I’ll give you a minute… EXACTLY!! This is something that’s been on my brain for a long, long time – years actually and I wanted to change that. I wanted to capture the pure joy, love and affection between a father and his child and I knew I found the perfect pair for this project when I met these two! How did I know and where did I meet this charming pair? Back in October I went to THE football game at Kent Island High School (that little rivalry between Queen Anne’s and Kent Island – yeah, that one). I was part of a large group of people – friends of friends etc – and these two were part of our group. We sat

P and C’s, P and C’s…

Every January, like clockwork, it begins. He starts pacing around the house muttering under his breath – P and C’s, P and C’s. Soon afterwards you can find him throwing phantom curve and knuckle balls from his lazy-boy. My Dad is a huge baseball fan – Red Sox to be exact.  What exactly does the P and C’s he’s muttering about stand for? It’s his shortened, bring spring on, mantra for Pitchers and Catchers – the day that the MLB Pitchers and Catchers can first report for spring training. This year it’s February 14th. I attract baseball fans in my life like gum to perfectly white sneakers. I don’t go looking for them, but there they are in my life. Briefly, last year, I was seeing a man who is a huge Mets fan. Had he been a Yankees fan

A Family Session of Epic Proportions!

Back in July, I got a twitter DM from Heather, which quickly turned into a full fledged facebook conversation. Heather had a special project in mind and asked me for my help. The special project? Photograph the family horse farm and 22 members of the family. I loved the idea! Well, like all great ideas that involve a lot of people (and in this case several dogs and one very nosey horse!), there were a few ‘issues’. A small one being a little thing called Hurricane Earl… Earl pushed the shoot back from September to November. Unfortunately, that wasn’t going to work very well for the over all farm images, so we broke the session into two.  On a cold morning in October, with a full moon still in the sky, I drove out to the farm and found beauty!

Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful Boy

EHS1

“Close your eyes, Have no fear, The monsters gone, He’s on the run and your daddy’s here, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful Boy.” John Lennon – Beautiful Boy Life is a very funny thing.  It really is true, the more you live, learn and love, the more you stay the same.  Meeting this beautiful boy is a perfect example of that. Back in the day, I went to high school with his mom! Muffy and I are the same age but were a year apart in school.  I was a year ahead and wish I could say it was because of my brilliance. Really it all came down to the fact that I started school at age 4.  Our high school was tiny – no, really – really tiny! There were 300 students – not in each grade level – in
