We began at this fantastic castle in the park. It was chained off so we couldn’t get inside, and Erik was asking if they were any good at rock climbing.

Once they brought up Borat we knew we were going to have fun together!

Working the reflection. I showed Laura and Chris this image from the back of my camera and Chris said “That’s amazing! We are standing in mud and you get a fantastic image!”

The rock formation reminded me of something from the southwest.

Willow – Newborn New Haven, CT

April 23rd, 2009

Today Erik and I went to visit my cousin Gretchen and her husband Nacho (or, as I call him, Nachito) at Yale New Haven Hospital. Look at what they made!!
Willow is 3 days old – and gorgeous. I wanted to take her home with me!

She reminds me of one of those nesting dolls. So perfect.

Karli + Andy – Hanover, NH Engagement Session Photos

April 22nd, 2009

This past weekend Erik and I took the incredibly scenic drive up to Hanover, NH to meet up with Karli and Andy. It was cloudy for sure, and we were hoping the weather would hold out for us. Sure enough, as soon as we pulled up to the Dartmouth campus the rain began! Karli and Andy jumped in our car and we drove to Balch Hill to the spot where Andy proposed. We got out of the car and the rain stopped – divine intervention at it’s best ; )

Karli and Andy are one of those couples that just being around them makes you smile. The bond between them is powerful – you can feel it from miles away. The subtle looks, the smiles and giggles, and the constant hugging and physical closeness…I wouldn’t want to try to keep these two apart!

At the top of Balch Hill. We love cloudy days ; )
