clamoring for clams.

your personal fisherman.

this weekend st. michael’s celebrated their annual winefest – with two days of food, wine, music and celebration throughout town. the talbot county watermen’s association had a tent featuring soft-shell clams with phenomenal cooking demonstrations and tastings all afternoon. the amazing carol bean organized the event and local artist marc castelli leant his talents to the the flyer which featured a watermen’s workboat and the slogan caught by “your personal fisherman.” i stopped by just in time to catch the fabulous barbara helish, chef + owner of bella luna restaurant, as she prepared the clams in a chipotle garlic tomato butter extravaganza – to die for! earlier in the day philip bernot, wine director at wishing well liquor, served much-raved about tempura rockfish bites – delish!

enjoy!

jennifer + andrew: engaged!

fear love the turtle.

jennifer + andrew are engaged!

these proud university of maryland grads met and fell in love in college and decided it would be a great place for their engagement session! indeed it was *fantastic* – it was my first shoot at a university and it was brilliant! UMD is gorgeous – the architecture and grounds are stunning and we found the most amazing magnolia tree ever – with blooms literally dripping from the low-hanging branches it was perfection!

jenn + andrew had a wonderfully romantic energy and i think the images really reflect that…their one request was that we incorporate testudo, the famed terrapin, and i love the first shot (below) of them kissing over top of the statue (totally jenn’s idea!) i’m so glad i got to meet this couple and wish them all the best! congrats to jenn + andrew!

enjoy!

halo’s haven rescue.

a refuge for horses on the eastern shore.

a few days ago i had the pleasure of meeting the absolutely incredbile michelle louis at her st. michael’s farm where she runs an amazing horse rescue. halo’s haven rescue is a rescue organization specifically focused on saving horses from auctions where they are sold for slaughter. together with local sponsors, louis recently rescued a gorgeous pregnant clydesdale as well as a pregnant miniature horse and brought them home to her farm. the clydesdale foal is now two weeks old and doing fantastic, and the mini is due any day now! this week i will be spending more time at halo’s haven learning about the mission and documenting the rescue process. these are just a few images of the horses i saw this weekend – so beautiful!

enjoy!

susannah + jason: engaged!

come sail away with me.

susannah + jason are engaged!

this amazing couple is young, in love, and incredibly ambitious! they are both currently in the naval academy, met on the sailing team, and are clearly head over heels for each other. jason’s quiet+cool vibe is a perfect compliment to susannah’s vibrant and shining personality – i simply loved them! they are planning a summer wedding for next year (after they both graduate) and plan on traveling around the globe – jason on a navy boat and susannah with the marine corps! i was beyond impressed with their passion for life, each other, and the world – cheers to susannah + jason!

enjoy!
