Lynn & Martin

Lynn & Martin were married on September 6th. They are a wonderful couple…very laid back, easy going and heck…even the remnants of a hurricane didn’t damper their spirits! Lynn & Martin were married at the Chapel by the Sea in Warwick and the reception was at Quidnessett Country Club. They have a beautiful family and twin boys who I got such a kick out of. Here are a few of my faves from their special day:

And for the guests, family and friends of Lynn & Martin…I’m sure you’re hoping to see a fun photo. As most of you know, Dylan Walsh (from Nip Tuck) and his beautiful wife, Joanna Going (Another World, Runaway Jury, etc) was there. They both were so sweet and were fabulous dancers! I have such a cute photo of Dylan Walsh dancing with a bunch of kids (not theirs. lol) but for the privacy of the children, I will not post it. Someone once asked me if I could photograph anything in the world, what would it be and I said a celebrity wedding. So in reality, I think this would be the closest I’ll probably get. HAHA =) As a photographer, I have to personally say that it was a pleasure not only to photograph Lynn & Martin’s wedding, but them as well.

Off To The Pumpkin Patch…

We went to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday with my parents. The last couple of years, we went with Peter’s parents so it was nice to bring along my parents this time. The kids got such a kick outta it. Zack didn’t want to leave the patch at all. He was hoping all around it and was picking up all the little pumpkins his hands could carry. And of course, JJ was picking out the biggest pumpkins out of the patch and wanted to take those home. LOL Here are a few from our day:

Tried a texture on this photo:

And just to throw in a recent photo of our dog, Kyra:

Grandchildren…A Fall Portrait.

So I took the photos of all my nephews and niece the other day at my parents house. It’s tradition for my parents to have all their grandkids on their christmas card and this year, they asked me to take the photo in the backyard so the lake would be in the pic. 7 kids, ages 10 and under. HAHA, I knew it would be interesting. But hey, the sky was dreary and at least it didn’t rain…..Here goes, these are the best ones:

The oldest (Nate, in the white stripes) hates being in front of the camera, but knows he has to anyways and didn’t put up a fight. His brother, Nicolas..(shaved head, in the brown stripes) 2nd to oldest is just a ham. Their little brother, Ian (is between them, in the white shirt with the yellow stripe) is just mad at the world and wants a blue lollipop. Brandon (the other boy in the brown stripe shirt) is another ham and is trying to hold his sister from getting off of the canoe because she doesn’t want anything to do with this. My boys, Justin (the older boy in the red & blue striped shirt)….which I cannot believe is LOOKING TOWARDS the camera because I couldn’t bribe this boy to save my life, as I am threatening him that he isn’t playing with the new puppy that Auntie Sara just bought to Papa’s house if he doesn’t look at me and isn’t getting a lollipop either. LOL And my youngest, Zachary is just looking at the chaos and thinking, OMG what the heck have I gotten myself into?????

Seriously….those of you who are photographers and have children KNOW that you can rarely get your own children to smile for portraits. I should hire another pro to do this. HAHA. But that’s ok. They are kids and everything doesn’t have to be perfect. In the end, they all got a lollipop and they were happy as can be…

My 2nd Equine Session (Middletown, RI)…

It was a pleasure meeting Jill, who works at both a farm in Middletown and North Dartmouth. This farm is beautiful and they also foster rescue horses. How amazing to be able to do that?! I have to admit, I am jealous. lol I went to Middletown to meet up with Jill on Sept 25th at Ponies To Go (www.poniestogo.com) and spent some time with the horses and thank you, Jill, for chasing after the horses so I could get some great shots of them running! =)

Seeing how they weren’t show horses, it was nice to have a different perspective on this session. To be able to get more laid back shots of them in the fields, running around…more in their natural environment. I was also able to play around and get some great panning shots (for those of you who may not know what that is, panning is when your subject is in focus but everything else is blurred).

Here are a bunch of my favorites from the session:
