Gorgeous Wedding Venue!! The beautiful grounds are so peaceful. And so many special nooks to discover. Each just as beautiful as the next. It was super rainy the day we visited but rain has never stopped me from exploring!!

Definitely was fun going down!! The walk back up, not so fun!! You definitely don’t want to forget anything in the car. And I can’t imagine having young children and bringing them all up after a long day at the beach. I’m not sure how many more summers I will get to enjoy with all five of my babies together. I’m so grateful and blessed for each and every moment with them.

I’m hoping that the internet can help my daughter. I surprised her with a trip to California a couple weeks ago. It was her first plane ride and first trip to the west coast. When I surprised her that she was going I had a special bracelet made. I believe she lost the bracelet during the security checkpoint when she had to take her coat off. I have called all the airports and security locations and lost and found numbers. They haven’t seen the bracelet. The bracelet is a textured thin silver cuff. The personalized message on the underside reads “ My Gwyneth, pack your bags. We’re off to California. I love you, Mom “ If this could be shared maybe someone out there will see the bracelet and reach out. I’m hoping for a Christmas miracle.
Pictures to help identify the bracelet. Remember the inscription is different than in the photos. Thank you all soooo much.

I recently had the opportunity to spend some alone time with one of my baby boys. (Of course they will always be my babies but I don’t think they like me calling them that anymore.) It was our date together and he chose the Sconset Bluff walk. You see Gavin, my youngest of five, has autism. He is highly functioning, thanks to his big brothers and sister, and when giving the choice to attend a MLB game or a nice quiet walk along the coast, he will choose the coast every time. There are so many beautiful discoveries, so many beautiful homes, different varieties of flowers, and let’s not forget the ocean!! To be able to spend time with my son and see that he enjoys the coastal life as much as I do means the world to me. If you have the chance to visit Nantucket take your favorite people and take a little ride out to siasconset and stroll along the two mile Bluff trail walk. At the end of the trail we continued on to visit the Sankaty Head Lighthouse. Gavin loves lighthouses as much as his mama does. Make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes, (flip flops were not a good idea for Gavin) or you may find yourself calling for an Uber to avoid the walk back to Sconset center.

Congratulations to Maddy & Tom!!! What a beautiful day for a wedding. And how lucky were we to be able to shoot inside the beautiful Clinton Exchange building in downtown Syracuse! The building is truly a treasure to behold. I could have spent hours photographing and enjoying the gorgeous architecture. On wedding days there just isn’t enough time for us photographers to take it all in.

April shoots can be so difficult and the weather so unpredictable. And then when you add traveling into things it can become Very tricky. I recently traveled to Port Jefferson on Long Island for an engagement session with Monica & Adam and we had only a small sliver of time to get this shoot done. And wouldn’t you know the morning we woke up for the shoot it was pouring rain. Not only pouring rain but the gusts of wind made it rain sideways. We had to keep moving the time to try and wait out the storm. And after waiting two hours we were able to start shooting while it was still drizzling rain.

After such a stressful morning we were rewarded with an amazing session. So many wonderful weather conditions that made for great photos. I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to have spent a rainy weekend day braving the elements. I can’t wait to see how your wedding day turns out.

Delightful Delphiniums!!! What a beautiful and delicate reminder of spring!! Only two more weeks until the official start of spring!!! Let’s hope the last of the snowfall is behind us.

Turquoise Tuesday!! And the ever popular Nantucket vehicle. The Land Rover!! What a gem!! Oh what fun this must be to drive around the island!!! The sun shining, wind blowing my hair around, and the smell of the ocean air!! Counting the days until it’s summer!! The official start of summer is called summer solstice. June 21st! That’s 155 days away!! Ouch!

This crew definitely cures my Monday Blues. I live every day with purpose for this crazy bunch. I know with them by my side I can handle whatever comes my way. I’m so blessed to have them in my life.

Take me b’ACK!!! Mornings have been so cold the past few days it makes it so hard to get out of my nice cozy bed. I can’t help but think of the warmer days of summer. Taking my long walks on the beach or my favorite walk along the Sconset bluff trail. I’m in the middle of taking all the Christmas decorations down and reorganizing the holiday storage. Can’t wait to get the mess cleaned up. What are you all up to?

Every flower girl feels like a princess when they put their dress on. These two were no exception. From the moment they sat in the princess chair to have their hair and makeup done they took their job very seriously. And I can’t even begin to describe how they stared with such wonder and awe at the beautiful princess bride that they will precede down the aisle.

The anticipation of the First Kiss!!! I always make sure to tell my couples to practice their “first kiss” and to hold it for at least five seconds. The practicing is oh so fun!!!!

“The most treasured heirlooms are the sweet memories of our family that we pass down to our children.” And sometimes it’s the beautiful jewelry passed down too. On Lauren’s wedding day she had the honor of wearing her grandmother’s grandmother’s pearls. So many generations of women in her family wore these beautiful pearls. I’d say that is one amazing legacy. And a beautiful heirloom piece.

What a gorgeous, cool, and very windy day!! But we didn’t let that stop us from getting some amazing photos. Congratulations Kayla & Connor!!!

Had so much fun visiting Nantucket this year with my youngest son Gavin!! It was a joy watching him experience the beauty of the island through his eyes. I can’t wait to share more amazing photos from our visit.

I LOVE fresh flowers!! Wedding bouquets to be more specific!!! They smell wonderful and look so beautiful!! I have seen some gorgeous bouquets in my line of work. I always encourage my brides to invest in a beautiful full bouquet. It’s the one floral arrangement that will most likely be seen in all your favorite bridal photos!!

It’s been a minute or two since I’ve posted. It’s been a busy season. So many weddings, engagement shoots, portrait sessions, family events, my big kids off to college, my little kids off to school. You should see the piles of things that have been neglected around my house. I’m so thankful for a very supportive husband and family. I need to play a little catch-up and start posting some work.

I love my job! Have I said that too many times. Being part of some of the most important moments in your life is something I cherish and will always enjoy. I was so happy when Bryce reached out to me with a plan to surprise propose to Maria. The hopeless romantic that I am was so giddy with excitement. He planned everything. With the help of his his family and friends the day turned out perfect. She said yes!!!
