Brace yourself for a large share from my wedding last weekend. I hesitate to show so many images because once I am in the middle of wedding season it is much harder to blog so much and I don’t want my July weddings to feel left out—but here goes anyway!

Alex got ready at her childhood house–her dress was hung up in her childhood room.

My second shooter Tara was hanging with the guys while I was with the girls getting these fabulous shots.

Some shots by the lake.

Tara again here getting an awesome shot.

Such a great group to work with.

Everyone should have pockets in their wedding dress.

Almost time for the ceremony.

Don’t you love his little suit?

Favorite!!

Married!!

Love love this one.

This is what I saw when I turned around from doing some of the family formals.

Two views of one moment.

Alex’s dress looked awesome in a twirl.

A few of the lovely details.

Lots of great dancing.

Thanks so much for choosing me to document your wedding.

Congrats!

It has been 15 years since I graduated from Bennington College, but I have been back quite a few times since then.  Usually we stop in on our way to another destination and we walk the grounds, grab a bite to eat and check out how much things have changed or stayed the same.

The campus of Bennington was one of the main things that made me want to go to college there.  I still remember having never heard of Bennington getting a brochure in the mail and immediately Bennington became one of my top choices.

This type of sky always reminds me of Bennington and was my all time favorite light  to go out and take photos.

This spot was called the end of the world.

After graduate school Jason and I came back and lived on campus with Echo in a small apartment that was part of the resident houses while he taught a class. This was our door. Now, these apartments are now used for students.

These are some of the classic student houses. Jason was my roommate from my sophomore year until graduation. We shared a room with a view of the end of the world and it even had a fireplace. One day I would love to photograph a wedding on campus.

We arrived at Bennington on a Sunday at 10am. I assumed this would be the perfect time to take the kids to brunch. I forgot that brunch doesn’t start until 11am–so it was just continental. Funny, how I remember barely making it to brunch many days–and it didn’t even start until 11am!!

These are the napkin notes in the cafeteria where students comment on what they like or don’t like about the meals–or just try to impress.

I think at 10am we were the only people there–by 10:40 when we left only about 10 students had gotten up.

My freshman year I caught and loaded the dishes that got sent down this belt.

Some building that were not there when I was there.

New”ish” student housing.

The science building where Jason spent most of his time.

I was happy to see that the mail room was still the same.

Happy belated mother’s day to all of you. I hope you all had time to relax or play depending on what your mood was that day.

I was feeling a bit sorry for myself yesterday because my husband was out of town and I couldn’t do my regular mother’s day routine. My regular routine was to gratefully accept cards and breakfast in bed by my children, then allow my husband to wisk them away while I went back to sleep or read a book. But this year–even though I was tired (after a long wedding) my girls and I spend a great exhausting day together. We had a tennis lesson, caught up on The Voice, went on a walk, went shopping at Carousel Mall, and then we went out to dinner. When they were little little I just wanted a break from them–but it seems now I can’t wait to have them all to myself.

Now, onto a beautiful baby boy and his big brother that I photographed recently.

First–with mommy.

Look at that hair.

I sure do love baby yawns.

with dad.

adorable. Thanks so much for having me out to photograph your family.

It didn’t take long for these kids to warm up to me.

I just couldn’t get enough of this cutie.

Peace out.

So—she doesn’t really like grass–look at her holding up her little toes.

Aww, she shares.

I love these swinging shots. 

Thanks for having me out.

These two girls sure are super cute.

I super love the shot of the baby in mom’s arms.

I keep coming back to this shot even though it isn’t traditional.

A rare moment of still from this cutie.

love the shadows.

Thanks for having me out again.

It was a little cold  (or a lot cold if you were in a dress), pretty windy, and it had been raining–so not ideal weather, but Julie and Binh did not want to reschedule their engagement session and I am so happy that we didn’t.

Isn’t that bike awesome? Julie and Binh own this bike and can even bike it uphill.

I love this shot on the swings.

I love your smile Julie.

These two both went to SU and now work there, so a little SU shot was in order.

Thanks for being such good sports and hardly complaining about the weather at all.

This little guy was very mobile–running, crawling, climbing—whew!

He especially loved stairs.

The boys.

Finally sitting down for a bit.

Thanks for having me out!

No hats for this little guy, not with a head of hair like this.

Last time I saw these two it was when I was photographing their wedding.

I love getting a chance to photograph babies of wedding clients.

Isn’t he cute??

Congrats you two!

I thought an adorable newborn would be just right for this rainy cold Monday morning.

Enjoy.

This was a fun crew that I got to photograph over the spring break.

I do love photographing this age.

And here is a charmer.

The baby.

The shot requested by the kids.

My favorite.
