Denise & Rob get hitched

On Friday June 11, I finished work in Florida and jumped on a plane to NY to attend Bobby's wedding on the 12th. Bobby "Rob" is like my little brother. My mom started babysitting him when he was 2 and continued until he was old enough to not be babysat anymore. During that time, his parents had two more kids (girls) who happened to be junior bridesmaids in my wedding. Needless to say, it was a pleasure to attend his wedding and of course take these wonderful pictures.


My brother was the best man and we made sure he embarrassed Bobby by telling the following story: When Bobby was younger, he had this stuffed animal named "Ruff, Ruff" and he couldn't sleep without it. Well we had his mom dig it out of the basement and it made an appearance at the wedding during the best man's speech. Denise's last name is Ruff, so I guess Bobby has found the true "Ruff of his life."


It was a beautiful day for such a beautiful couple. It was worth the late night flight and early morning wake up to be part of such a joyous event. I am very happy for Rob & Denise and wish them all the happiness in the future.

Raylee Elizabeth

Raylee Elizabeth was welcomed into the world on May 26 by proud parents Jeremy, Mindi and big brother Caleb. I had the opportunity to take pictures of this beautiful little girl on June 10. She was awake through the whole photo shoot and did a great job as we "played" with her to get the shots mommy wanted. As soon as I packed everything up and got it back in the car, Raylee fell asleep. Of course she waited until we were done, but that is okay. She is absolutely beautiful and I could not get enough of her. I finally got my chance to hold her after we were done with pictures and she slept in my arms until I had to force myself to leave. Mommy and Daddy are very blessed with their "sweetness." I know for sure I will be back taking more pictures of her really soon. Click on any image to view larger.

Erica & Nathan Part 2

On June 5th, we went to Disney's boardwalk to take some more engagement photos of Erica & Nathan. The whole drive there it did nothing but storm and we didn't think the weather was going to cooperate with us, but we still were going to try. When I arrived it had stopped raining and believe it or not, it did not rain the whole rest of the evening. The sky was a little BLAH, but we managed.

After taking some pictures in the heat and humidity that we all love after a summer rain, we decided to take a break and eat at the ESPN restaurant. When we were finished eating we continued to walk around the lake and get pictures wherever we thought looked good. In the end, it started to sprinkle and we decided that we wouldn't chance it by staying out any longer so we finished up.

I had a great time as always capturing the love that is obvious between this wonderful couple. Congrats again on your engagement and I cannot wait for the wedding, February 2011.
