Nancy and Alan {Ceremony}

Bowser and his girlfriend

In case you didn't know, our little baby bowser has a girlfriend. She's an Australian Shepherd too and only one week apart! They've been best friends since they were about 2 months old and met at the park. So they just started dating and bowser wanted me to tell everyone how in love he is... <3




Special Olympics- Inspiring story

I wanted to apologize for not posting for a while. I had bronchitis for 2 weeks and I have an awful lot to catch up on!! My husband and I had the great opportunity last week to volunteer with the Special Olympics at TCNJ. It was the most amazing experience! I was volunteering with the softball teams and want to share this story.

A fantastic pitcher from one of the teams kept getting really hard calls from the umpire. Everyone in the audience would know it was a strike. But the umpire kept calling balls for some reason. The pitcher paid no mind and just kept doing his best. He did an amazing job. Even when he was up to bat he kept hitting doubles and such amazing hits that everyone in the audience would stand!

After the game, we all congratulated the players on their fantastic efforts. Well when everyone left, one of the coaches came up to the volunteers and we said how amazing the pitcher was. He turned to us and said "Do you know that young man is legally blind"...


I have never been more inspired in my life. That pitcher showed me that nothing is impossible!

Make-A-Wish Gala in Jersey City

I had the amazing opportunity to photograph the 2009 Make-A-Wish Foundation Gala in Jersey City. It was at the beautiful Hyatt Regency. Due to privacy, I am only posting some images of the amazing night without donors and wish families. But I know everyone had an amazing time and the event couldn't have been better. The speeches really touched everyone in the room and were so inspiring. If you would like more information about the Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Jersey, or to make a donation, please visit www.wishnj.org













This last picture makes me really wish I had a Tilt/Shift Lens!!!
