Dalton Turned ONE!!

Days are flying by! Lauren, my BFF's son Dalton turned one a few weeks ago AND it's been MONTHS since I blogged last!

Let's just start fresh with some photos from the first birthday party of one of the sweetest little boys I know! We had such a fun time and can't wait to see you guys again soon!

Welcome Baby Gabriel!

BFF Erin, Rafael, and proud big sister Stella welcomed baby Gabriel James with all the love in their hearts on September 27, 2008. Baby Gabriel was a whopping 10 lbs. 5 oz. and 22 inches long!! As Erin would definitely say 'HOLY HANNAH!!'.
I was shooting a wedding with Joe the day Gabriel was born, so it wasn't until 4 days later that his titi (that's me) got the chance to visit the happy family.
Of course baby Gabe was doing what newborns do best while I visited, eat and sleep. I did get to see his beautiful eyes for a few seconds here and there :) Erin amazed me with how great she was feeling and looking 4 days after birthing this big boy! Raphael and his mother (who flew in from Puerto Rico) arrived a bit later from the grocery store and I was able to congratulate the proud papa and the abuelita! I can't wait to visit again soon!! LOVE YOU.

Camden Children's Garden

Before heading out to photograph Rusty and Jane's wedding two weeks ago, Carver and I made a quick visit to the Camden Children's Garden and met up with Mary and Jack. I had a great time watching Carver and Jack run around, I even had fun chasing after them. The garden was really cute and would be a great place to meet up with families for photo sessions. The colors are beautiful and the children have tons of fun! We took a ride on a train, spun around on the carousel, climbed on dinosaurs, checked out the butterfly garden, ran through tunnels and ran up and down ramps and last but certainly not least, played in the water fountains! FYI - bring a change of clothes.








In case you're wondering...Jack is sharing his raisins with the dinosaur.

Jane + Rusty Wedding

Last Friday I was part of a very special day, Jane and Rusty's wedding! Rusty is the father of one of Kyle's dearest and long time friends from high school, Luke.
Jane looked gorgeous and had a permanent smile all day long! She was a thrill to photograph and her laugh was so contagious. Rusty was such a gentleman and I came to find out he had quite the outgoing personality! He had invented a little trivia game to play during the dinner where every single guest was involved, and won a beaded necklace! I loved it! I also loved that Kyle and I were guests during their family dinner as well! Their ceremony was at the beautiful Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church, cocktails and dinner were served at their club, Gulph Mills Golf Club. The club recently finished their covered outdoor seating area and it's gorgeous!
Thank you again Jane and Rusty! Congratulations!



I think Jane designed and put together these wonderful wedding favors of bunched herbs, each herb had a special meaning to the day and the marriage.


I loved this little moment of Rusty's youngest son, Ben and his fiance Kate walking to their car from the ceremony.

The happy couple...



Thank you again to Luke & Kate for offering Jane my services!

Day Tripping to the Jersey Shore!

I just wanted to quickly post about today's little adventure to Stone Harbor, NJ today. Summer is almost over and Carver hadn't been to the shore yet and I didn't want him to miss out, especially now that he can walk! We had a great time and met up with our friends Christel and Izzie. Carver didn't waste anytime making friends with the 'big' kids and enjoyed playing in the huge hole they had made in the sand. When I asked Carver if he wanted to walk down to the water he ran to the ocean and didn't hesitate at all, he loved the waves and laughed every time they hit him. Izzie was a trooper and played hard as well, despite her teething pain and short nap. I didn't get any photos of it but, she had a little boogie board in her baby pool and loved 'riding' it! She is totally too cute!
Thanks for meeting us down there Christel + Izzie! We hope to see you again soon.







I hope to post about the great wedding I shot last Friday, by the end of this week!

SuperStar Numero Dos!

It just so happens that I know THREE women who have the exact same due date!! Crazy! And each of their bellies looks completely different. One of those women is my BFF Erin, and her belly is biggyful ;) Sometime this September she will be birthing a beautiful baby boy. I am so excited to meet him and I hope I can be there when he's born. A few weeks ago we had a little impromptu photo shoot and we had a blast! Seriously, they were so fun and energetic, every minute was a riot. Enough jabbering... here are my favorites! Oh and Stella is a true Super Star!











Congratulations to you Loca!! I love you Mama!
