Four Foods and a Wedding...(not to be confused with Four Weddings and a Funeral)

I have this fabulous cousin who decided to get married up in New York, so John and I left little Abby at home and ventured up North! It was gorgeous weather and we spent time walking all over the city. We left enough time to have dinner with an old friend from high school, at The Spotted Pig. If ever visiting, check it out.
Interesting menu.... Never would have tried it had it been up to us.... But, it was fabulous! We sampled pork tongue (a little like bologna), pork cheek (a little easier to stomach-it was like really tender BBQ) and my favorite: shoestring fries cooked in Rosemary, completely doused in salt (they just throw the rosemary in with the oil and it is heaven) Figs wrapped in bacon. Wow! No pictures...too busy having fun.
So, back to the wedding. I was not the hired photographer, just the annoying cousin with the camera.... got some fun shots, though!

There's the hired photographer. He is fantastic and so creative. One of his many talents is abstract photography. He is amazing with people too! Check him out here: Michael Meyer (I'm not too worried about the competition... he lives too far away! LOL! :)
I stole their rings for a little while so we could go play and be creative. My cousin, Kathleen held the light! Took some in the flowers, the grass, but this is my favorite! Love the reflection.

Yum Yum! Appetizer hour was the best part! They had these tomatoes with mozzarella poking out of the grass. How artistic is that? The very best were the coconut shrimp. I hunted them down every time I saw a tray! No pictures. They disappeared too fast! Yes....I love food!

They have soooo much fun together. Rich just shook her hand after the priest introduced them as married. The church roared! Then.... he kissed her!

Bright Eyes

This is one of my latest little peanuts to photograph.

She has the sweetest personality.

We had some fun times during her 3 month session. She smiled a lot for us and I just can't help loving this one. My heart melts every time I look at this picture!

There's something about that little tongue poking out of her mouth.

LOVE IT!

She is such a bright-eyed and beautiful baby!

Just look at those yummy little wrinkles on her belly and the sweet way she crossed her feet just to show us all her perfect little toes!

My very favorite shot of her.

The cradle is a family heirloom. What a special way to be able to keep family close!

What an amazing moment to share in.

I love how the two of them just look lost in each other.

Everbody needs a little time away.....

Well, I know I'm really behind on my posts. I have been over-enjoying my summer with Abby. But, I have vowed to get back to work and post at least 2x each week until I'm caught up. Got a lot of great shots to share in the coming weeks.
So.....

This is Kelsey! I had the best time photographing her a few weeks ago (well, maybe it's been a LITTLE longer than that....) She looks amazing in absolutely every shot!

~Oh, to be so photogenic.... :)

We had the best time playing around in an alley off the square in downtown M'boro. She was so relaxed and just enjoyed being herself. Couldn't ask for more!

She is the perfect model...when she is famous one day, I told her I'd LOVE to shoot her album or book cover!
