Sunday Morning

I had just gotten up and out of bed. On my way to Abby's room and peered out the highest window on the vaulted ceiling. I noticed a gorgeous sky. This happens often, whether I'm driving home from work, getting ready in the morning or coming in from a late night, I notice the beauty of God's creation. It's been magnificent rainbows, a gorgeous moon, amazing bolts of lightning, beautiful foliage, and the sun breaking through clouds. I'm always wishing I had the time to stop and take it in because I know it will only last a moment.
As I passed by the window a second time, I couldn't resist any longer. I told Brian to keep an eye on Abby, summoned the dog and grabbed my camera. We hopped in the car and I prayed for God to lead me to the perfect location, one close by with enough open land. I immediately thought of the high school. It was incredible. Every shot was different. Every second the sky was changing and I couldn't adjust my settings fast enough. The baseball field was covered in water from the rain the day before. Joey absolutely loved it! He ran and ran. I took it in and enjoyed every possible moment.






































































































































































































Mowrey Family #2

How adorable is this family? They were so easy to photograph because they were just themselves, fun, loving and having a blast together. I didn't realize how much we packed into this portrait session until I went through all the images. Makeena and Nora were such troopers! Thank you Brian and Becca for letting me have some fun photographing the two of you. You are such natural models. What a great time.

























































































































































































































































































































































The Stamford Symphony

Every year the Stamford Symphony hosts a gala with a silent auction in order to raise funds. This year's theme was "A Night at the Moulin Rouge." The entertainment for the evening included, dancers, live band and of course a performance by the symphony. It has been a pleasure to have been asked to come back and photograph for them over the years.

goodbye Moriah

Before Abby's playgroup buddy moved away, Moriah spent an afternoon with us while her mommy and daddy packed up the house. We made the most of our time together. How quickly friends come and go.
