Marisa and Steve are having a baby!

Marisa has pretty much the cutest belly ever.  I’ve never seen a belly look so perfectly round.  Beautiful Marisa and adorable Steve are sure to have a wonderful bundle of joy!

I give them huge credit for being patient enough to let the gender of the baby be a surprise.  Not only are they waiting to find the gender, which is already killing their mothers, but they are also waiting to tell anyone the names they have picked out.  Imagine the dirty looks coming from Mom A and Mom B.  Yikes!  They have such a great humor about it though.  (btw, moms… I know the names!  But I have been sworn to secrecy!)

Marisa and Steve were so great to work with, and I loved getting to be there to capture this exciting time in their lives.  I can’t wait to hear what they have!  I’m impatiently waiting! 

See?  Adorably round belly!  So photogenic!

And of course, we had to show their love of the Steeler Nation.

And just to rub it in…

Oh yes… we are!

I’m Entered!

I’m craving this pretty bag.  I’m entered, and so should you!

I’m hoping for this pretty fabric, made into the biggest bag of course.  I need to carry lots of stuff!    Isn’t it gorgeous?

I <3 New York

The Memorial Day weekend was filled with Fifth Avenue, Central Park, Times Square, The Met, and… well… let’s face it… New York City has some seriously crazy people there.  It’s all part of the experience though…

Central Park was by far my favorite though.  Who would have thought that out of all of the great locations, a self processed ‘city girl’ by heart would find her favorite thing to be the outdoors.  Well, it wasn’t exactly camping, but the photo ops were absolutely everywhere.  And love was the theme!

Forget Virginia!  New York City is for lovers!

The architecture was absolutely amazing. Everywhere you went.  It made me think back on when I was little and wanted to be an architect.  How funny that thought is now.  That would be one of the last professions I would entertain.  haha  I would love to photograph it all though!

The wonderful Magnolia Bakery and their even more wonderful Chocolate Mocha cupcakes. YUM!

Oh… to stay at the plaza…

If only in my dreams.

Baby Belly Photos

My best friend Vicky, or as I like to call her Vitty, is having baby number two!  She’s such a beautiful woman, so I convinced her to be my test subject.  So, we wrapped her in material and started shooting.  Here are just a few of my favorites.  I will try to post more at a later date.  Congrats Vitty! 

Yeah… I make her laugh… I’m sooo funny…

Seneca Lake Park Wisteria

I’d never seen Wisteria before.  It was beautiful!  The trunk of the tree/vines wrapped around itself, looking like a braided tree.  Beautiful.
