Botany Bay Plantation

Kelly — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 10:49:53 +0000

This place is amazing. 3 miles of undeveloped beaches and this tree graveyard where the beach is eroding naturally, something I’ve never seen before. TONS of shells everywhere because you are not allowed to take anything with you when you leave. I hope that I can go back at high tide sometime soon!

People put some of the nicer shells in the trees.

We spent a week down near Charleston, SC with my parents and my sister’s family, it was a perfect little vacation (minus a few jellyfish stings)!

My beautiful sister:

Katherine has been begging me to do a photoshoot with her horse Snowflake so we brought her with us (we are happy to report that Snowflake loved the beach)..

A Wedding on Catalina Island

Kelly — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 23:15:31 +0000

Last month I was lucky enough to fly out to gorgeous Catalina Island in CA to help my friend (and super talented photographer) Nicole Fields photograph an amazingly fun wedding! Danielle and Scott chose to get married in one of their favorite places and their wedding celebration was a tour of the island. As you can imagine it was super crazy fun to photograph! Here are a few of my favorites that I shot. Head over to Nicole’s blog to see a lot more!

Someone is Two Today! Happy Birthday Sydney!!!

Kelly — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 11:00:32 +0000

Sweet as ever, fiesty, still LOVES her sister, miss independent, must put her own pants and socks and shoes on by herself, carries as many toys as she can handle everywhere she goes, begs for chocolate, talks talks talks, is mostly potty trained, sings all the time, loves Dora, her favorite color is orange, her favorite music is Coldplay, loves strawberries and bananas, loves the Knuffle Bunny books, very cuddly, still gives kisses with her lower lip puckered out, loves riding horses but is terrified of them face to face, fascinated with airplanes and birds, loves smelling flowers, loves to find the moon, loves her grandparents and aunts and uncles, loves her ‘moneys’, talks about what she wants to show Daddy when he gets home from work, loves to play ‘monster is coming!!’, loves to dance and spin and somersault. She brings us sooooo much happiness and we can’t wait to see what age two has in store for us!!

Just push the play button in the middle to watch her slide show of pics from the past year. The photos of her under the cherry blossoms are by Shey Marin Photography.

Warm weather & butterflies

Kelly — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 01:29:55 +0000

They’ve been wanting to be butterflies recently so I humored them

PS I do try to take more of Katherine but she makes faces. Unless there’s an immediate reward of ice cream like in her turning 4 pics. And I don’t want her to hate the camera so I don’t push her. Sydney looks at me all the time. She just does. She’s a little attached and I love it

Points Of Departure exhibit at VisArts in Rockville

Kelly — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 20:43:19 +0000

I have a photo in the VisArts exhibit that is opening tonight! I will post a link to my photo since it has some partial nudity and I know some people read this from work. Just click here to see it! If you happen to be in the Rockville Town Center between now and March 27th and want to stop by, the Visarts building is on the corner of Gibbs and Beall, the gallery is on the second floor and there’s also a great gift shop. I’m looking forward to a couple of kid-free hours tonight, yay!

Update!!!! We had a great time last night and I was honored that my photo was chosen as one of the top 10! There were so many brilliant photos and it was incredible to walk around the gallery and take in each one. Some other details: Points of Departure was jurored by some amazing photographers, all Canon Explorers of Light, including Steve Inglima, Clay Blackmore, Gregory Heisler, Eddie Tapp and Joyce Tenneson. Clay Blackmore gave some awesome remarks about the exhibit as a whole and about several of the individual photographs and you could just feel his energy and dedication to this exhibition! There were 743 photos submitted and 53 selected for the gallery. Here are some pics from last night!

5 Days Old!!

I was so excited when Naomi and Mark asked me to take some photos of their first baby, Lillian. Check out all of her beautiful hair! And seriously the longest fingers I’ve ever seen on a newborn! Her daddy is already looking for a nice piano for her. She has the sweetest disposition too, was happy and sleepy.
