Beth and Sean’s Hotel Dupont Wedding | Philadelphia Wedding and Engagement Photographer

Here are some beautiful Highlights from Beth and Sean’s Hotel Dupont Wedding in September…or as I like to refer to it Monsoon Season :-) since it rained every weekend for over a month straight.

Let’s start with the girls…

Ok now these next few are pulled from a series of one of the funniest moments of the night. The groomsman actually danced in front of this girl and she was so embarrassed because her boyfriend who was sitting on the sidelines was egging the groomsman on. It was too funny!!!

For a Good Cause | Philadelphia Pet Photography

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing for the Lost and Found Dog Rescue Adoption Center in Wilmington, DE. As most of you know animals are a very very close to my heart. We alone have 2 mini schnauzers and a cat…..Though after this photo shoot the hubby tried to get me to bring home one of the adorable puppies.

I also had the pleasure of working with the reigning Miss Delaware for 2010 Julie Citro again (if you click the link she’s the one in the bottom 2 images).

So without further ado here are some images from our shoot:

This past weekend I FINALLY took my son’s 4yr pictures. I have had this idea for months but with our impending move I wasn’t able to execute it till now. Yes there was bribery with candy :-) , but just look at these images. I think it was all worth it don’t you?

New Accessories | Philadelphia Photographer

Today my husband and I had a day to ourselves…kid free!!! Thanks to my wonderful in-laws. So we decided to do a little shopping. How does this benefit you, you may ask? Well I went into the newly open (Gigantic….no seriously it’s bigger than the 2 story Barnes and Noble) Forever 21 and scored some beautiful new accessories for my clients!!! Yes I do come to shoots with a treasure chest of accessories. Just ask Zach and Christine :-)

So do you want a peek at what I bought? Well take a look…

I ADORE this piece because it can not only be worn as a necklace, but also as a headband.
