Congratulations Nicole and Corry!

My first wedding of the late spring/early summer was on May 30. Nicole and Corry tied the knot at Messiah Baptist Church in Bangor. Despite a brief thundershower, the couple said their vows in front of an intimate gathering of family and friends.

They also decided to do the majority of their group shots (but not together) prior to the ceremony, which is a great option, especially for couples who want to get right to celebrating at the reception! The couple's children were a major part of the specialness of the day!


We did the remainder of their group shots after the ceremony was over and then headed off to the reception at Meadowbrook Dance Studio (home of Back Door Dance Studio: www.backdoordance.com). The gathering of family and friends was intimate and fun -- just like the couple.

Congrats again Nicole and Corry! Here are a few pictures of the happy couple's nuptials.

Babies, weddings, and dog playdates

May has been a busy month.

I had my gall bladder removed mid-month and I'm feeling great! My parents are moving to Bangor to retire. My childhood home is now sold. And we're in the process of prepping the garden for its first planting in years.

Photography wise, May has been a month full of babies!

I had the opportunity to photography my best friend Trina's little boy Emmett who came into the world on April 24, 2009 at 4:31 p.m. He's a sweetie who will no doubt keep them on their toes!

On May 31, Kathy invited me into her home to photograph 8-month-old Bella who is all smiles and cheer. She was the perfect subject, even when she got tired from being a star!

May also started the summer wedding season. I was on hand to witness with my camera the wedding of Nicole and Corry. In a beautiful ceremony at a gorgeous church in Bangor, even the downpouring of rain couldn't dampen the spirits in the church. Photos will be posted soon of some of the day's highlights.

Now as June starts, I'm preparing for a busy portrait and wedding season -- plus a little time to hang with the family!

I also and a proud greyhound mom and Laura goes for weekly play dates with other local greyhounds at Green Acres Kennel (www.greenacreskennel.com). The greys have a greyt time running and hanging out in the fenced in play area. If you're looking for a great place to get pet supplies, grooming services, boarding, doggie daycare or training, Green Acres is one of the best in the area! Keep an eye open this fall to have your pet get their picture taken with Santa. More information to come!

June and July still have openings for wedding photography or portraits. And I'd love to see a few more young faces in the lens of my camera. Call today about half-price sessions this summer!
