It often takes some months between the time that friends of mine have children and I get to meet them. We were graced with a visit from Ellie (her first “trip” I believe) back in October. She was about 9 and a half months at this point and exceptionally cute, probably one of the happiest babies (with equally happy parents) that I’ve ever seen. Check out the pictures and I’m sure you’ll agree!
It’s the beginning of a new year. I’ve been shooting but not publishing. The second half of 2012 was a lot of fun, from family vacations to my sister’s wedding to getting to shoot pictures of a friend’s 9 month old (blog post coming soon!). Rather than put up some lengthy detailed posts of all of this stuff, here are a bunch of pictures from the end of my 2012 Euro trip and a few shots from Bermuda with my family this summer. With lots of travel on the horizon, 2013 is sure to be a great year for photography. 🙂

The Louvre
Parisian apartments and life on the Seine
Beauty on a backroads roundabout walk up Montmatre to Sacré Couer
St. Sulpice (this has always been under contruction when I’ve been in Paris, so seeing it without scaffolding was a pleasant surprise)
The pink sandy beach of Horseshoe Bay in Bermuda
The Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda
Goslings! In Hamilton, Bermuda.

A couple months ago I was lucky to have my friend Nick, one half of Candeo Photo, ask me to second shoot a wedding with him. I’ve shot a couple of events, and some people here or there, but mostly keep myself confined to photographing mountains and streams. Weddings have always scared me a bit because of their high stakes nature. What if I didn’t get the shot? What if I forget how to use my camera on that day? The Hudson River or Shawangunk ridge wouldn’t care about that, but a bride and groom surely would. Needless to say, I was a bit nervous. Any worries I had faded away when I showed up at the Adam’s (the groom) house to do all the pre-ceremony shots. Adam, his brothers and friends were super relaxed and ready to enjoy the day, which put me at ease. We got a bunch of great candids inside and then headed out back for some fun posed shots. After that it was off to the wedding. The day flew by as I grabbed shots of the family, the wedding party and all the little details I could. Nick put up a great post over on Candeo Photo with a handful of shots (I think the sunburst kiss is one of my favorites!) and some words about the day. Below you’ll find a few of my favorites from the day. Thanks again to Nick for the opportunity to second shoot, and I can wait to see Candeo Photo shooting my sister’s wedding in a couple months!
