I can’t believe 2010 is nearly over! What a year. My season started in Miami and ended in Manhattan. In between I photographed in three countries and five states. I feel so thankful to have worked with all of these couples and to be pursuing a career that fulfills me.  Thank you for inviting me into your lives!

Enjoy Christmas and the Holiday Season with your loved ones!

So many of my former wedding couples either had children or are pregnant this year! That meant I was busy with baby portraits. Below are some of my favorites from 2010.

It’s that time of year again! I’ll be posting my favorite shots of 2010. This year I shot engagement photos in four different states! Looking through the photos again I was really struck by how brightly their personalities shined through in the images.  I love doing engagement sessions for two primary reasons: to get to know the couple and to get them used to the camera.

November 30 Nina gave birth to a baby girl! Madalyn Delaney. It was my first time going to the hospital to see a newborn! I was so excited. Nina looked awesome. She’s made pregnancy look so easy She is superhuman.

My last wedding of the season was Nicole and Sam’s wedding at The Foundry. I could not think of a better way to end my year! Sam and Nicole are sweet and adorable and I’ve photographed the weddings of half of the women in the bridal party (just kidding, but seriously- almost!). The weather in mid November was unseasonably warm so we were able to take advanatge of the many spots to take photos on the grounds of The Foundry. It is truly an amazing and unique spot. Thank you Nicole and Sam! I had so much fun. And thank you to all my couples! I am grateful to have worked with you.

My couples make the most beautiful babies! I photographed Jill and Jeremy’s wedding in June 2008. This is the 15 month old Mackenzie.

I spent a week in Colombia in October and it was magical! I love traveling so much because it’s like being in your own “Choose Your Own Adventure” book. You never know what crazy thing is going to happen to you next!  From running into the President of Honduras, getting pooped on (twice) by birds, to somehow ending up at an “erotic” themed Halloween party at Andres Carne de Res, a restaurant you must try in Chia (30 minutes outside Bogota) . We had so much amazing food! Behind travel and photography food is my third love. I love trying new things and sampling the food (and drinks!) of the different countries I travel to. If you have a chance to drink Kola Roman, you must. It’s the most delicious soda I’ve ever tasted. I had one with my full fish lunch, served with coconut rice and plantains for a grand total of $5.55.

I loved this lady. She was selling fruit in Cartagena. A few I tried were zapote, guamas, lulo, and guava apples.

Another fruit vendor. The green mango with salt was delicious!

Cocktails at Cafe del Mar watching the sunset. That evening I would have my first taste of Aguardiente: a popular alcohol in Colombia. It tastes somewhat like ouzo, so if you don’t like licorice stay away from Aguardiente. I brought home a bottle! After drinks we were, of course, hungry. So we stopped for street arepas filled with cheese which cost us under a dollar. I could move to Cartagena and eat arepas every single day!

This is me at Cafe del Mar. I have so few photos of myself  so I thought I would post a rare one. Even more rare is that I actually like it!

This is little Miguel. I saw him while walking through the Old Town in Cartagena. We stayed at the Sofitel in old town. Normally I’m not a fan of huge chains but the Sofitel was a stunning, well located property and worth every penny.

Plaza de Coches, Cartagena.

Hat vendor in Cartagena.

My $5.55 lunch in Cartagena.

Cartagena sunset.

Bogota. If you go check out Luna in the Zona T. It’s great for drinks! I had my first lulo martini there. Even though I’m not a huge Botero fan I did enjoy the Botero Museum. Plus at the museum next door there was a huge traveling Man Ray exhibit which was *amazing*. We ate obleas on the street near the Plaza de Simon Bolivar. Obleas are like thin wafers with a filling of your choice inside. I had a traditional Colombian sweet: arequipe which has a caramel flavor.

Ville de Leyva.

Catedral de Sal (Cathedral of Salt) in Zipaquira. This is a photo inside an actual Roman Catholic church built underground in a salt mine. Along with being a tourist attraction people actually worship here.

In 2008 I photographed Karen and Cary’s wedding at the beautiful Riverside Farms in Pittsfield, Vermont. Yesterday I met their daughter Ava! Their dog Oscar made an appearance as well.
