Erin and Chris

Erin and Chris are a delightful, young couple who are getting married this weekend... May good weather prevail!!! They've been together longer than most couples I know, their love affair started when they were very young... How cool to travel your whole life with your soul mate, and not just the adult part of it like many of us... What a gift they've been given... I'll enjoy photographing this step in their journey.

They'll be spending their honeymoon on Machu Picchu, how jealous am I? It is one of the places I simply must get to... It is so magical and fantastic, I can hardly wait to go. I'm sure I will breathe in the sunrise one day at the Sun Temple... (I gave myself 4 years back on Leap day, the clock is ticking...)

We wish Erin and Chris all of the happiness life can hold, and like for Sarah a few weeks back, we also wish for some sunshine on what is sure to be a wonderful day...

Timmy

I feel that a First Communion portrait is a very important portrait to have taken. It is a very important time in a young person's life, and worthy of commemoration. However, I also feel that it's okay to have a little fun in the process, so Timmy and I did a little karate chopping in the middle of our session... we had fun... we laughed... and after all, isn't photography all about capturing the spirit of someone! So this is a gift for you, Timmy. Thanks for the laughter!!!

Alison and Mike got married!

What an amazing day, a beautiful wedding on the beach, the wisteria still in bloom at the Capt. Linnell House, a gorgeous bride, a gorgeous groom, a gorgeous day to be a photographer on the Cape... we wish you both all the best...

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all of you fathers out there... Enjoy your day, enjoy your families...

Adriana and I wish Ray a very happy day, we love you very much, and think you're the greatest! xxx

sea dog

Lucy is now officially a sea dog... of course she may have had her one and only sea adventure if it's up to Ray!!! We took her out clamming this morning, out in Barnstable Harbour... We took the boat (aka floating bathtub) out to the sandbars to get steamers... Adriana and I had a fabulous time (we usually do), Ray maybe not so much, and Lucy loved it for a while... after traveling around the sand bars to find the channel, Lucy decided she'd had enough of being constantly told to sit, and took a dive off the boat. Of course, although she swims regularly, she's never not been able to touch bottom before, so needless to say, she got a bit freaked out... (my friend Jennifer, and her boyfriend Tom had been talking recently about their lab's life jacket... guess we'll be getting one soon...) Well, poor Ray, who I think he was just being nice inviting us along to clam with him, got way more than he bargained for, way, way more... so now he's got this scared dog, a scared wife, a scared daughter, so he did what any good husband/father/dog owner would do, he used his super hero strength, grabbed my beautiful dog by her collar and lifted her into the boat (deep sigh) Lucy's 70 lbs, so soaking wet... well, let's just say. heavy... what a fab guy I married...

There was a point out there today, we were portaging across a sandbar, and I looked around at where we were and thought (for about the millionth time) how lucky we are... The Cape is so amazing... Looking out across Sandy Neck with it's beautiful dunes, not a soul in sight, it's the stuff that makes life great...

oh and dinner, it was yummy...
