Sneak Peak ! Michael and Angela | Wedding

It was a lovely Saturday afternoon after the heavy downpour from Storm Lee that lasted almost a week. It was almost as if Lee decided to stop hiding the sky so that two beautiful people, Michael and Angela, could have their special day with warm sunshine and a little less stress.

Here’s a shot  to make you want to come back and see more when I get done processing them.

Congratulations Angela & Mike! See you when you get back !

Children’s pool party | fun photographer!

Kids had a blast playing in the pool on July 4th.  It was Ben’s first true pool fun. Izzy started the splashing and they all joined in. Little Kylie was constantly excited and joyful despite a few falls. The adults had a great time watching the little ones enjoying themselves and I was just happy to get a bunch of fun and cool shots.

The winner is….

Shirley Mathai, you are the winner!

The winning entry of the “Mommy and Me” contest was entered by Joey Mathews.

He wrote for his sister-

“Shirley is a single mom to her two kids: Matthew (10) and Maya (5).  In the last two years, Shirley’s life was marked by a series of events each more trying than the last:  She dealt with a divorce, being laid off from her job of over 10 years, relocating to a new city, and finally being diagnosed with and treated for advanced stage breast cancer.

Throughout it all, the thought of her two kids was what kept her going strong.  I can’t imagine anyone being dealt a hand so adverse, yet manage to maintain such a positive role.

Shirley is well on the road to recovery, though the chemotherapy and radiation have taken her hair.  She’s somewhat self-conscious about her new wig, and I believe a photoshoot would go a long way in helping her realize that the example she’s set for her kids speaks volumes more about her character than her hair. I can’t think of anyone more deserving.”

This entry moved me so much. I want to congratulate Shirley for being such a great sport and role model to all of us mothers.

Congratulations Shirley!

Tataleba Reunion and the eye project, Pittsburgh| Event photographer

The Tatateba Reunion at Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania

.
I missed the last 2 years because I was pregnant the one year and the next I had my baby. He was too small to travel 4 hours to the reunion. So this year we went and it was so good to visit everyone in the family after a long time. I was asked to take the Official Group photo and that was cool. We stayed at our cousin’s place this time instead of the regular Inns and that lend to a much more relaxed a fun weekend. Thanks Jason and Julie for hosting us and for the big BonFire!!! I am posting my favorite pics from the Reunion. At the bottom you will notice a fun project I did…

Do you think you can pick out the males vs females from just looking at an eye? I was just curious.

Coltons Baptism

Teresa and Mike invited us to their son’s baptism and he was soooo cute!. I didnt have the best view but I took some shots the best I could. 

 

  

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

I love her in this photo. One of my best shots of the event I think.  I just love how she stays beautiful and calm holding her baby. I was able to change the color of the picture to the sutle pastels and its cool how the pink in her dress created some sutle drama.

Also in this photo is  where I see my D70’s limitations. Unfortunatley with my zoom lens its just wont cut it like the above pics which were taken with my 50mm prime lens. So I played with photoshop to enhance as best as I could. Well it will still be awhile before I can get that Nikon D300!! and maybe a faster zoom too…who knows… maybe my husband, you think???  Wait till then shots like these in low light will be awesome! 

        

I dont know who this girl is but she was part of the Baptism guests. I thought she looked cute and her pink outfit looked so pretty when I photoshoped the image to the sutle colors.

And heres Colton, as a bran new Christian boy! Hurray!

                                                                

Thanks Teresa and Mike, for letting me photograph your son’s baptism!
