tewaaraton: 2008 trophy.

the premier collegiate lacrosse award.

last night the tewaaraton award foundation honored outstanding men’s + women’s lacrosse players at an awards banquet at the national museum of the american indian.

the 2008 trophy was awarded to hannah nielsen of northwestern university, and mike leveille of syracuse university.

it was a fantastic event, with a cocktail reception and dinner prior to the awards ceremony, where guests and lacrosse finalists + awards recipients mingled and enjoyed the museum. i learned a lot about the history of lacrosse and how the tewaaraton foundation honors the heritage of the sport. i was so impressed by the athletes and excited to document such an awesome evening!

enjoy!

meredith + paul: married!

tying the knot on the shores of the chesapeake.

meredith + paul had a gorgeous ceremony at the chesapeake bay foundation last week. the forecast called for rain but the skies stayed clear as this couple joined together on the sandy shore underneath the late afternoon sun.

meredith was giddy as she said her vows, bursting out in excited laughter as she placed the ring on paul’s finger…their family and friends stood close and smiled as they watched them proclaim their eternal love…

the celebration that followed was spectacular! there was amazing dancing, fantastic energy, and so much love. meredith and paul complement each other perfectly, and their families are fantastic! i loved watching meredith with all of her sisters (and her parents!) getting down on the dance floor, and seeing paul mingle with his family and hang out with his groomsmen. i particularly loved the impromptu cigar-smoking photo shoot and how hilarious they both were during the cake cutting! they took off in a hurry, running through a sea of sparklers and off to start their lives as husband and wife!

meredith + paul: thank you for allowing me to document your wedding. it was an honor being part of your day. i loved every minute of it, and i feels so lucky to have spent this time with you! meredith you are amazing – i *love* your energy and i think you are fabulous! i know that you both will be so happy together and i wish you all the best!

and now, ENJOY!

melinda + tim: engagement photos.

a culinary tour featuring ice cream, fancy cocktails, jello shots and chorizo corndogs.

i had a fantastic time hanging out with melinda + tim! they took me to all their favorite spots: whitlow’s on wilson, where they first met, mario’s for some awesome ice cream, royal lee’s for the infamous jello shots, and eat bar for some killer cocktails and super fancy bar treats. melinda and tim are getting married next month and i’m really looking forward to photographing their wedding – they are such a happy couple (check out their amazing smiles!) and a pleasure to be around. melinda is also a *fabulous* and passionate cook and i’m hoping to convince her to give me a few lessons… :)

enjoy!

jacob + kathryn: baptism.

a family welcomes twins into their life and their faith.

surrounded by their closest family and friends, four-month old twins jacob flynn + kathryn eilis were baptized on saturday morning. in the arms of their loving parents and new godparents, the twins were baptized by their uncle, father keith. it was such an intimate and beautiful ceremony, a private celebration of love and faith. the prayers of their entire community welcomed these babies into the world, and will no doubt continue to guide and support them. jacob + kathryn have an amazing family and i feel very privileged to have met them and documented this special occasion in their lives!

baby luke.

ready, set, go!

luke is on the move!

at 8 months he is crawling everywhere, often with a fierce look of adorable determination, his tiny tongue stuck out to one side, a little man on a mission! i really enjoyed watching luke and his mom colleen play together – looking at his favorite books, listening to his musical toys, and just hanging out. they also spend a lot of time in the jog stroller, so we went for a walk and i caught an amazing silhouette shot of them in a tunnel near their house – love it!

luke is a beautiful baby, and colleen is a great mommy – i loved spending the afternoon with them. i also *love* their adorable dog mary lou – the tiniest, fiestiest, boston terrier ever!

and now please say hello to the dear mary lou:
