I am so excited to present my new blog incorporating my new look. I switched from Blogger to Wordpress and am still working out all the kinks of adjusting to a new interface. A couple of great things about Wordpress is that it is actually hosted on my website and also I can password protect posts, which will be great for my boudoir sessions. I’m keeping my old **blog** up for now and will continue to post to that until I have the new system working the way I want. I am hoping that I will be able to import my old posts, I don’t want to lose all that work.

Welcome to my blog where you can get a glimpse of me, my business and my life.

I LOVE to photograph weddings! The emotion, the details, those special moments are what I love to capture. Wedding photography takes me all over New England and beyond, so no matter where you are getting married, I’d love to be your photographer.

My blog is much more personal than my **website** and is updated often, so I hope you’ll check back frequently.

to get your entry in for the **FREE** Boudoir Photo Session Contest! I’m ecstatic that so many people have been entering!! More info on the contest and how to enter **here** So don’t forget and get your entries in by midnight, February 28th.

I’ll be exhibiting at the New England Bridal Show this Wednesday, February 28th from 6-9pm at the Sheraton Harborside in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I’m looking forward to meeting lots of couples! I hope to see you there:)

Last night we had dinner at Fernando’s of Martha’s Vineyard, which by the way was excellent, and we passed Murphy’s Law. Since Brendan’s last name is Murphy and has had many experience’s with “Murphy’s Law” we had to go back before we left Savannah and get a picture.

It was a gorgeous day, temperatures in the mid 70’s and not a cloud in the sky (it’s going to be really hard to go back to the cold and snow). There were a lot of people walking on the beach out at Hilton Head Island. The beach was really nice, but was kind of boring, no sand dunes, no waves and there weren’t even any sea shells.

Growing up on family vacations we used to drive by South of the Border and I always used to wonder what it was. You see these huge billboards on I95 for hundreds of miles advertising the place and there never seemed to be anyone there. I couldn’t believe the place was still there, so we decided to stop and get some pictures of probably the tackiest place I’ve ever been to.

We flew out this morning and are back in the Northeast. We had a great mini-vacation and even though I had a great time, it’s always good to be back home:)

Great photographs celebrating the end of WWII

Next we went to Fort Jackson…

We drove out to Tybee Island to see the lighthouse and I spotted this bird. It looks like a hawk, but I’m not sure. If you know what type of bird it is, email me and let me know. He was so cool, he just sat there watching me.

My feet hurt! We wandered all around the historic district today, starting off at the Mercer House, which is the setting for Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. We decided to pass on the tour, as it wasn’t focused on the book. We spent the rest of the time just walking around and looking at all the amazing homes as well as doing a little shopping. We had dinner on the riverfront at Spanky’s Pizza Gallery.

General James Oglethorpe, founder of Georgia, in Chippewa Square.

This is Frankie. He was very friendly and was kept on a leash outside of a cute little store, and I cannot remember the name of the store right now, even though I bought some cards there.

The Book Lady, a wonderful little bookstore on East Liberty Street.

The Paris Market, a very cool store with a Paris theme.

I love these old buildings where the advertisements were painted right on the bricks. 

I’m not quite sure why this dress was on display in the courtyard, but I thought it was a cool picture.

Savannah is amazing, there are just so many cool things to photograph! We spent the morning exploring the historic district. Did you know that Savannah’s historic district is the largest historic district of any US city. It is rather big and we only walked a small portion of it. We started off at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.

The cathedral is right off Lafayette Square. Savannah is very unique, in that the city was designed with 24 squares, although three have been lost to “progress” (one is currently being restored, Ellis Square). River Street runs along the Savannah River and is where all the touristy stores and restaurants are located. Lots of souvenir and candy stores. They actually had the old style Coke’s in the glass bottles in one of the candy stores.

We also visited the Isaiah Davenport House, but of course I wasn’t allowed to take pictures inside:( It was so funny, our tour guide could not bring herself to say Civil War, it was either the War of Northern Aggression or The Unpleastantness. The wrought ironwork around Savannah is amazing, so many cool designs to photograph.

Bonaventure Cemetery plays a prominent role in The Midnight of Garden of Good and Evil and I spent some time wondering around the cemetery capturing some of the unique stonework and wrought ironwork. Even during the daytime cemeteries feel haunted.

And finally, after being in freezing Maine, it is so nice to actually see flowers blooming:)

We had dinner at Bella’s Italian Cafe, which would have been really great, but they put way too much ricotta cheese on my white pizza. But they were really nice about it and didn’t charge us for it.

It was an early morning at Logan Airport… up at 4am to catch our 7am flight to Raleigh-Durham. We had originally planned on flying into Raleigh Durham because Brendan was going to be running a workshop for the College Board there, but just last week the workshop got cancelled. We decided it was too expensive to change flights, so we would just drive down like we had planned.

Off to Savannah!

Of course we under estimated the time to drive to Savannah. We were thinking it would take about 3 hours, but in reality it was about 6 after stopping for lunch and breaks. If the speed limit hadn’t been 70 (which really means 80) it would have taken us a lot longer!

By the time we got to Savannah we were exhausted, after getting up at 4am and all the travel, all we wanted was a good meal and a nice glass of wine. We haven’t really even had a chance to explore the area, but we did drive through the historic district and I can’t wait to take pictures…it looks so awesome. We had dinner at the Moon River Brewing Company which was great, although they ran out of sour cream and tomatoes for my quesadilla’s…bummer:(

BIRTHDAY:) I’m not going to tell you how old I am. Besides you’re only as old as you feel, and I feel much younger than I am:)

My sister gave me a gift certificate to GiveAnything.com which I’d never heard of before. It looks awesome though…there are over a hundred stores you can spend the gift certificate at. It will be hard to decide what to get.

Brendan’s birthday present to me is a trip to Savannah! We’re leaving tomorrow, so stay tuned…I’ll be posting our adventures on my blog.

If you haven’t seen or read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, I highly recommend it. I read the book years ago and we decided to rent the movie last weekend to get a taste of what Savannah will be like. I can’t wait to visit all the locations in the movie, as well as take pictures:)
