[pink]

annie released six pink balloons today into the blue cloudy sky. not all at once but one by one. for ava. she kissed each one before she let go and screamed with glee as the wind took each pink balloon higher and higher. she said that she hoped ava would catch each balloon in heaven and that they would make her happy.

i send my love and friendship to you sheye on this day - the day your precious girl would be six years old. she is never far from our thoughts and always in our hearts. we honor your little one. with pink balloons, and pink tutus and pink hair ribbons.

[teen cool] senior session

as i was driving to this shoot i was thinking - this really is land's end.
it had been a long time since i'd been to rockport - such a lovely little seacoast
village located at the very tip of cape ann, surrounded by the atlantic on three sides - known for its thriving artists colony, lobster fishermen and the infamous fishing shack -motif #1 - the most often painted building in the united states. rockport is also the place where mermaids and the love letter [among many others] were filmed - [just a bit of fun trivia for you!]

i had such a great time photographing wesley for his senior session. he was very
comfortable in front of the lens - cool as a cucumber i think! even though the sun was
hot and beaming i think we got some great shots. thanks for being such a cool
model wesley - i mean really, a group of girls were screaming "i love you wesley!!" as we crossed the street. me thinks he is very hip indeed!

[a lime twist]

caught a glimpse of this bride and groom in grand central station on my way to catch a train. couldn't resist a snap. love the surprises that are around the corners in nyc.

[ava girl turns 4]

annie's bff has turned 4. amazing. time goes so fast. i clearly remember feeling the same way celebrating her 1st birthday. i can only imagine how i will feel celebrating her 5th! a small intimate setting of pottery painting, friends and a dream cake perfect for the birthday girl.

[a + m] vogue cafe session

ok - is it fair to be this gorgeous?!!! two friends - alex + morgan - enjoying each others company and being terrific models for me. i really think they could be in toast - my fav catalog that i previously blogged about here. or perhaps be very comfortable working with the wonderful james merrell - blogged here. thanks girls i had so much fun with you - hope you enjoy your sneak peek! more to come soon.

[j+b] meant to be session

such a pleasure to meet j + b - it's so refreshing to be in such delightful company. i admire this young couple who wanted to have photos done to document their relationship and i was honored they chose me. hardworking college "kids"! it was a whirlwind of locations but i think we had a great time despite the mosquito bites! j i hope you recovered from them and b - you have a dynamite smile and i was glad that i could grab it! hope you had as much fun as i did - here's a sneak peek for you - you'll have the rest soon!
