Greetings!

Whew! Wedding season has officially arrived and with it the start of a very busy few months. Earlier this month I journeyed 1400 miles in ten days with weddings in two states and three portrait shoots in three states - tis the season! As this wings its' way across the internet I'm heading south again to photograph the wedding in Brooklyn of an old family friend. I feel so thankful to be getting to meet so many wonderful people along the way and to have this awesome job.

When I do find myself at home I've really enjoyed tending our garden although many days I find myself glancing out the window longingly seeing things that need to be attended to but not having the time. Oh well - it will happen when it happens!

Read on for recent news and stay tuned - it will be a busy summer!

PERSONAL

OCP 3025
▪ For Burlington area folks.....Our friends Michael & Vera (whose lovely lambs and sweet dog Aldo you've seen plenty of) are raising chickens fed organic feed, grubs, and Vermont grass - they are accepting pre-orders for August pick up (Jeff and I are picking up six from the first batch ready in July!) - VISIT THEIR WEBSITE to sign up
▪ Springtime means the end of crafting and the beginning of gardening - mulching our main bed has helped a HUGE amount with the weeds!
▪ We added four raised beds to our garden this year to grow annuals and veggies
▪ Missed the birth by a few minutes but loved photographing a lamb that was minutes old at my friends Michael & Vera's farm - I love Vermont!
▪ We visited my Dad in Pennsylvania right as the cherry blossoms were in full bloom - good timing!
▪ Before we started in the garden we worked on cutting and splitting a downed tree in our woods - it will keep us warm this winter!
▪ A fun collection of Instagram photos from April

With my schedule busy-ing up we haven't been in too much to cook so only two recipes to share this month. Hopefully we'll do better next month!

▪ A yummy and springy shrimp pasta
▪ A second springy vegetarian pasta

ARTICLES TO SHARE

▪ I found this article on the value of a wedding album EXTREMELY compelling. In this age of digital I still think a wedding album is something that every couple should have whether you make it yourself or work with me to create it.
▪ An interesting New York Times article about hosting an Unplugged wedding.
▪ Loved this Jimmy Kimmel mash-up of Brian Williams rapping
▪ I take requests for awesome engagement photos ;)
