What we Love About Film

   I really didn't know what I was missing when it comes to shooting film. Matt and I were on the fence about taking the film camera to New York, but after Matt saw the film photos I had developed today he said, 'We're definitely taking film to New York!' I really fell in love with these shots. There are more to come, including some of a guy on a motorcycle.

   One of my favorite flowers (I think my absolute favs are Peonies)!

   Mom and dad's puppy Toby - we love him!

Photos and More Photos

   I've been pretty busy lately with four grad shoots and one bearded man shoot within the last week. I have photos coming out my ears - or at least my hard drive! I've had such a great time incorporating new things I've learned, and I'm pretty sure I'm getting better. Anyway, I hope you all know that all the royal photos I put up last week collectively equal our photos of the week. 

   Well, less than 50 days till our New York trip! We are so excited we can't stand it! We'll buy our Broadway, Mets and MOMA tickets today, plus a fun NYC travel book we saw at Hastings on Friday. Warm weather is coming on fast - the sky was so beautiful for my photo shoot with my baby sis this weekend! We had a great time! Here's a little preview!

   Happy Monday!

The Dress

The dress did not disappoint!

   I'm running on about 4 hours of sleep this morning, but it was well worth it! She stepped out of her car and I thought, 'She did the Grace Kelly!' She looked absolutely stunning! The ceremony was beautiful, what a fairytale! Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge! How fun would it be to be a duchess?

Royal Wedding

   I know that some people are sick of hearing about the royal wedding, but I have to say that I am ecstatic. It's so romantic! Kate Middleton is doing something that most girls only dream of, write about, swoon over, pass out cold over -  she's marrying an actual prince. I love the splendor of it all, if we could have gone to England for the occasion, we would have. In a time of such pain and unrest it's nice that we have some joy to celebrate in our world. So, the world will be watching - even I might stay up to see Kate's gotta-be-gorgeous dress. 

   Here's to love, weddings and eternal bliss - I certainly married my prince and now Kate will marry hers! How fabulous!

   For this occasion I will now feature some of my favorite photos of the royal family - enjoy!

   I also love that instead of gifts they would like everyone to give to their favorite charities!

Easter and Then Some

   We had quite the busy weekend! I went out to dinner with my loverly friends Allison and Jessica on Friday night - I love them! Matt went off golfing with dad on Saturday morning, so that left Allie and I to have a sister day! We took graduation photos of Al's cute friend, Jalene - I shot film for the first time in three years :) We got lunch from Jimmy Johns (um, I love them) and yummy cookies from Rubysnap, then went to a bridal shower for my friend Cyndi!

   Matt and I also got a fabulous Easter gift - a new niece! This is Charlotte!

   Yeah - so cute!

   We also got a new cousin!

   My cousin Jim proposed to his girlfriend, Kasey! Yay for family!

   We had a way fun Easter egg hunt and Kasey got the best, ring-filled egg! I love being with my family - they are so wonderful! Life is so amazing!

   More photos of the egg hunt and other things coming! I'm so excited to get my film developed from Jalene's grad session, I can hardly stand it!!
