Dear Amy, Mark and Luke,

I stayed with you for an hour.

You invited me into your home.

And, I saw,

20 years of doing life together.

Making beds.

Holding hands.

Wiping tears.

Understanding misunderstandings.

Slowly closing the space between.

I left you, and I felt you had given me a gift.

You inspire me.

Your family is beautiful.

The first time I held a camera - I knew.

I wanted to see everything through a lens.

I wanted, more than anything, to capture love with just a click.

I'm not married.

I'm not an expert on love.

This means that during each wedding, I learn something new.

I feel something new.

Each father/daughter dance causes me to tear up; each toast evokes a laugh; each time I hear those vows, I can't help but swoon.

I have a new respect and awe for what love truly is.

I don't always feel as though I'm doing you a service. I feel as though I'm gaining something precious from you and your day. I'm gaining wisdom and hope.

Photography and weddings have taught me so much about life.

It has opened my heart to new ideas and feelings.

I don't know if it's my love of photography or photographing love - but I am different now.

I don't have a degree in photography... though I've had much training...

My education has come from my passion:

I've taken workshops with prestigious wedding photographers, photographed ALL of my friends - and their friends and friends-of-their-friends... :)

A lot of my education has also come from working as the senior editor at BCV.

I not only edit my own work and learn from my mistakes, but I've edited the work of 6 other photographers as well (and learned from their mistakes).

Settings, lighting, composition...

I've been given the ability to find my own eye.

I've been tossed into a room and am forced to see...

To see, not what I've been taught to see, but to see what needs to be seen.

{You remember Erin and Donnie's AMAZING wedding in PA... Right?? Of course you do!! (And if you don't click HERE to see it.) Well a couple weeks afterwards we photographed a "Rock the Dress" and "Post Wedding Engagement" shoot...}

Take my hand.

Walk with me.

Down this path.

Of life.

It is simply enough.

To be with you.

Some people shine. From the inside out.

And their beauty inspires us.

Some people do this alone - and we stare at them in wonder.

Even more rare - I think - are the people who shine when they are with that someone else.

Together they glow like a campfire in the night
- warm and fearless.

When I saw Jessica and Whitney together it was like seeing soul mates ... people whose souls belonged together... people whose light drives off the darkness.

Confession: The first time I met Carla I was like... ummm... can I please shoot your wedding?? (Seriously - I said that.) It's not just that Carla is beautiful...

and has great style ... it's her creative ideas...

At the engagement session Carla and Matt were willing to have fun ... to lay in the grass... laugh...

wait for the rain to pass...

Not only does this attitude make for

outstanding photographs - but it's the basis for a beautiful relationship.

"A heart is not judged by how much you love

but by how much you are loved, by others."

(The Tin Man - Wizard of Oz)

After meeting Jeff and Maggie - I loved them.

Honestly - you would too - they are just that cool.

This is just a sneak peek - but when I share the full post you be floored! Let's just say their wedding included raw cotton in the bouquet, reception at the Met Cafe (dance club in RI),

and fluff-a-nutter sandwiches...

Ya, like I said, they are just that cool.

I have you.

A lover and a friend.

You are everything I need. You are the sun, the air I breathe.

Without you, life wouldn't be the same.

Please don't ever go away.

And if you go, then don't forget to take me with you.

Christmas in Disney World, Orlando Florida

2011-12-25T18:57:00.000-08:00

Christmas in Disney World.

I like to give myself little challenges. This summer I photographed

our barn vacation using only the Cannon 5D and a 50mm lens.

This time I decided to only use the 5D and the 16-35mm lens.

I have to admit, this is not my go-to lens. Actually that's part of the reason I chose it - I really wanted to push myself to get more comfortable with it.

Well, at first, I was frustrated. Okay - okay - VERY frustrated.

But as the days passed I began to understand the lens.

Seeing this post I am pleased with the photos. I learned much from the self-imposed challenge. The wide angle lens really helps the photographer tell the whole story. It accentuates lines and dramatizes even some of the most mundane moments.

It's a lens worth being familiar with.

MOST importantly, however, I had a wonderful wonderful (WARM) Christmas

vacation with my family!

Blessings to all of you. I hope you are spending time with the people who matter most to you.

I wish you all the very best this coming year.

Okay Where are we??

Italy --- duh!!

Epcot is not to be missed. The food was fantastic. So was spending time with cousins.

Awwww... aren't they cute!!

(Even the one below who is flexing!)

The Bad (A**) Borozinski Boys. (Minus Big Bad Nate Dogg.)

I love to laugh - loud and long and clear... or at least hear children laugh.

We saw an amazing amount of wildlife - a 2-tailed lizard, a variety of birds,
a cotton tail rabbit and coopers hawk... pretty cool!

Merry Christmas from the Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios!

Although the only souvenirs I bought myself were Wally and Eva pins (they came as a set) ... I have to admit I almost left with this Bulls-eye toy. I guess I'm just a sucker for horses :)

(My budding photographer.)

I've said this before ... but come on ... EVERY PRINCESS NEEDS A PONY!!

I kept thinking: What if he actually pulls it out.. How awesome would that be??? Seriously. Would bells start ringing and music play and would everyone in the crowd bow down on one knee... it could happen... right??

These are The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights... and they were magical. The lights danced to perfectly synchronized holiday music. (Every year, Jennings Osborne and his family set up an elaborate collection of holiday lights - in ARKANSAS (shout out to Kaitlyn)... eventually the collection grew until in 1995, the family decided to share their magic with the world and moved the exhibition to Disney World.)

It made me think of the line from that Christmas Song - by Henry Longfellow:

I heard the bells, on Christmas Day,

Their old, familiar carols play,

And wild and sweet

The words repeat

Of peace on earth, good will to men."

Two very familiar scenes from our Disney trip - kids in the

water and everybody waiting for somebody in the bathroom...

The best view I've ever had!

Then some combination of dehydration, exhaustion, candy and Disney resulted in a 103 degree temperature. Luckily it passed fairly quickly and we were up and ready to go...

I have to say the staff (cast) are pretty awesome at making the kids feel special. This princess was bowed to multiple times, my little "Stitch" was complimented and his cousin "Captain Jack Sparrow" received many "garrs" and "ahoy-mate's"... they do work hard to give the children "Magical Days." I - for one - appreciated it.

What can I say... we love to shoot each other :)

Green eyes.

We stayed in Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort.

I liked it.

I loved the pork and cheese sandwich, the pool closest to our room was normally totally vacant (Allowing for family cannon ball lessons) and we slept in pirate beds... what else could we have wanted???

Jedi training was the highlight of our Disney experience.

Seriously. Awesome. Skills.

When our son turned 6 we noticed he wanted to take photos all the time. At first we bought him a "toy" digital camera - DO NOT DO THIS. The camera was piece of junk. It was soooooooo frustrating.

A year ago we found the solution.

The Panasonic Lumix.

It's waterproof. It's shock proof. It shoots video.

We love it.

Can't you tell...???

“When I say, "I love you," it's not because I want you or

because I can't have you.

It has nothing to do with me.

I love what you are, what you do, how you try.

I've seen your kindness and your strength.

I've seen the best and the worst of you.

And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are.

You're one hell of a woman."

- Joss Whedon

Lindsay and Tom were married at the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem, MA - on Dec. 17, 2011. The wedding was beautiful... the colors were perfect, the hotel was magical, even Leo (the golden retriever got in on the action)... but for me Lindsay's dress was ...

BREATHTAKING.

I think what I fell in love with first were his sounds. Sweet little cooings and good natured gurglings.

Next it was his tiny square feet.

And then - when he looked into my camera ...

I was head over heels.

French Blog...

2011-12-05T16:46:00.000-08:00

Glasses and me it's a great love story! Without my glasses, I am lost, I feel naked, and yet the big day I wore for the first time contact lenses ... Why do you say? I still wonder. I found that it "did not quite married," when in fact I was "not quite me." Then after a comment left by a bride to be with glasses and short hair, I would like to convince you that yes, even with his glasses can be a beautiful bride!

I found a link to my blog on this French Website - La Mariee Aux Pieds Nus or The Barefoot Bride.

Pretty awesome huh... Can you find my photo?
