Well, after much ado, I finally got to photograph the postponed by one year wedding of Mary and Dave…and baby Sarah!  Mary was the first bride I’ve ever had who booked her wedding (that means paid her retainer and signed her contract and everything) BEFORE she was actually engaged!  Talk about the pressure (both for Dave and for me!!!) I was probably more nervous than Mary was on the big day, so afraid was I that I wouldn’t be able to deliver the goods!  But Mary was stunning, and, as her sister said, looked like a WWII bride, and vintagey and soft and beautiful.  And Dave was as handsome as ever, and then there is baby Sarah, who is seriously one of the happiest, sweetest (not to mention absolutely most ADORABLE) babies ever…so how on earth could we NOT capture great photographs of these folks?  So here are some of my faves from their special day, with a video to come later.  My only gripe of the day?  I was so excited to munch on some of their famous Dive cookies at the reception (love those cookies way too much), but they were tiny little imposter cookies instead.  Grrr.  I think next visit to the Dive I’m demanding a free cookie, darn it!

Well, life just likes to throw curve balls…

We had closed the studio and carted everything to storage, and the move to the new house was underway.  The next step was to decide on the new studio location…and then BAM…a big surprise, we found out we are expecting another baby.  So…this means the studio location will be on hold until…well, we don’t know when!  Until I am able to effectively juggle family life and running a studio again.  Until then, I will continue to work on location, and am in the process of re-working my business model, pricing, and the types of sessions I offer.  (That is, when I’m not unpacking the endless supply of BOXES that have consumed my life for the past weeks!) 

I’ve gotten lots of phone calls and emails from worried clients/friends wondering why my studio is closed.  Thanks to everyone for caring!  Tell your friends to call and make an appointment for the summer, we’re still alive!
