Ireland

I have returned to the studio after a week long vacation in Ireland with my family. It was more beautiful than I could have imagined. The landscape was lovely, so my favorite things were the drive around the Ring of Kerry and seeing the Cliffs of Moher. I am so grateful to have had this experience.

here are some of my favorite images:

a carefree day

Last week I spent a day apartment hunting in philly with my sister-in-law. It was such a lovely day and I wasn’t ready for it to end when I returned to the studio. The weather and the light were so good, and I had some errands to run, so I continued shooting while walking through Haddonfield. I used my diana camera to capture things that I found to be interesting or beautiful throughout the day. It’s nice to have photos that bring me back to a simple and carefree day.

getting dolled up

Recently I was thinking about how much I love these “getting ready” shots. I didn’t share them when I posted Kelly & Jon’s wedding, but I’d like to show them now. They’re all taken in the the hotel room the morning of their wedding at the Chelsea Hotel in Atlantic City.

I really like shooting all of the preparation. It gives everyone a chance to get use to me shooting and eventually I fade into the background (which lends to great candid photos). Also, I like that years from now they can remember all of the things they were feeling leading up to their ceremony.

I loved hanging out with this group. They were a good time.
