I had so much fun with these two.  The night was very hot and we were sweating it but it was worth every image.  I am so excited to have met Chris, since I have know Kimmy her whole life.  I do miss her and I hope to see more of her!  This guy had the best smile, when I mentioned it… he would not stop.  The only way he would stop smiling is if he was kissing Kim.  So, i have a lot of smooching pictures.

The Winery

This past weekend, I went to the Sharrott Winery in Hammiton, NJ.  This was a half way point for a client coming from the Jersey Shore.  As usual, I was extremely early and had fun playing with settings and walked around the facility.  My co-teacher from last year family own this winery and I have been hearing about it forever!  So, i finally got to see for myself.

My kids get a chance…

I realize that with all the stuff I am doing with others that I really have not taken too many of my own kids.  With Danann off to Kindergarten, she has been becoming quite an independent little lady. David has been enjoying his three year old attitude.  

So, with Dave away for the evening, I pulled the kids outside on the porch and played around with my new lens.

During my very productive Saturday (my husband’s birthday) I spent my morning with the Schollins Family.  Nikki and I work together and will be developing curriculum in the next week or so.  Nikki is such a beautiful person and I missed working with her this past year while she stayed home with Emily and Ryan.  I am always overwhelmed by such a handsome family.  They got out of their car and I was just taken aback.  At first I was not comfortable with our location but they outshone all the little problems that I thought would happen. How they made it home with the dog that decided to swim around in some VERY disgusting water I will never know.

I have so many posts to catch up.  On my husband’s birthday, i was busy out working (or should I say playing)  I had so much fun last night running around Moorestown (trespassing in some cases.)  I would like say I was with a Hadden so you M’town folks can understand.  Conor and his amazing fiance Stephanie were up for all sorts of stuff.  They were a little stiff in the beginning but by the end they were making out on the bridge.

 

Take a peek!  I have found my passion with engagement pictures and seniors!  I like older kids at key turns of life.

Do you realize how hard it was for me to just pick a few?  I had 98 images that make the final cut!

Ok, I did say summer would be different and I would be more on top of the blogging… then I agreed to teach summer school. Things did not work out the way i wanted. However, I did get accepted to graduate school (Seton Hall) and am debating about waiting one more year to start because in reality, photography is my passion. If I do this now, something in my over scheduled life would suffer and i am not sure if I want to make that sacrifice right now. i have a bunch of engagement pictures lined up for August so keep an eye out on new posts.

 

August 1st was a birthday day for my cousin Chris. When Murray’s gather (which we do often) it always a blast. Being the oldest of 17 grandchildren (almost all of us live 10 minutes away from each other) we are now at the stage of great-grand children. Of course, Grandma eluded me yesterday… but here are some of the kids!
