Conway Shoot With Kate!

Yesterday I took a drive out to Conway, MA where my best friend from high school lives and recently opened her first consignment art gallery. Kate opened the doors of the Conwaynain Artist two weeks ago and it's filled with paintings, jewelry, furniture and other crafts either about Conway or made by made by Conway artists.

Deciding the shop was lacking in the photography department, we set out in search of old barns, abandoned houses, rivers, streams and anything else that asked to be photographed along the way. We had a great time driving around catching up on life and taking pictures.

We are both busy working mom's and it was so nice to take some time out of our busy schedules of photographing brides and driving to dance recitals to spend some time together. Hopefully some of these will be on the walls of the shop soon!

This was our first stop. I love old falling down buildings and have driven by this barn many times on the way to Kate's and always wanted to stop.


Our next stop was this abandoned house which is right around the corner from Kate and Patty's.

Here's Tia. She was our's at one time, but decided she wanted to live the country life and asked if she could go and live with Kate.

Here she is!

Florence & Greg Engagement

A few weeks ago I was pretty sick, I actually had strep throat 3 times in a row, and during one of those times I had an engagement shoot scheduled with Florence and Greg at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston. It was going to be so great because one of their favorite things to do together is go to art museums. They were only up from D.C. for the weekend and it would be the last time before their next trip a week before wedding.

I had every intention of sucking it up and going anyways, but wanted to call them to see what they wanted to do and if they really wanted to be exposed to my freakishly resistant strain of strep. I will happily go to a wedding sick and try not to spread my germs while still getting great shots :) and an engagement shoot can usually be reschedule with little harm done, but this case was different. At the end, we decided to postpone and my heart was broken. I even offered to fly down to D.C. for the day and do the shoot but Florence was headed out of the country and wouldn't be back until right before they were headed back for the wedding.

So today we met at last! They came up for a visit at my studio in Danvers and then we headed to Glen Magna and Endicott Park for the shoot. It was so great to get to spend some time together before the wedding, which is this Saturday (eek!). I'd better get to work editing the rest of these!

I love this first one...






I'm pretty sure Florence will keep Greg smiling at the wedding!
