Here is a classic Ethan portrait.  I love this one…..

It didn’t take long for us to head outdoors to enjoy the weather!  In this picture, we were “listening” for birds.

I love the static hair!  He looks like a little Albert Einstein.

As some of you know, I am also expecting a niece….. on April 8th to be exact.  Anyway, the boys are excited for their baby sister and love hugging (and blowing raspberries) all over mommies belly.  So here are their belly shots::

That same day I was supposed to photograph a first birthday party too.  I knew it was too dangerous to drive as I stared at the snow drifts covering my car and witnessed several cars get stuck on our street.

**  BTW, 9 days later, our streets are still a disaster.  I have not driven my car yet (thank you, SEPTA!) and thinks that Mayor Nutter forgot that Fishtown and South Philly exist.  **

ANYWAY!!!

The wedding couple completely understood and did, indeed, have a local friend photographer that was able to make it for the rest of the wedding.  I had only planned to be there for about an hour.  If I was to be their only photographer for the day, I would have skied there for sure!  Word is that it was a beautiful wedding and that mostly everyone was able to make it.  The birthday party was rescheduled and I am looking forward to that next week!

Anyway, being that I was looking forward to the wedding and birthday party, I decided to do a few “detail” photographs in my backyard with some details from my recent wedding.  Anyway, here are the results!
I love that my shoes were called “Melissa”.   :)

for our wedding, we made 1,000 paper cranes.  my Mom then got me these beautiful and unique crane earrings from ETSY (sorry don’t know the seller as they were a gift!).  they are handmade and folded silver.  really beautiful and thoughtful.  i love these and wear them often!
