Pine Needles

Before we put the pool to bed for the winter, there was a pretty big rain storm that made the entire pool covered with a blanket of pine needles. It made some really cool patterns and brought out our little friend frog - whom inspired me to make a paintbrush image of him and post on the paint animals blog.

Common Ground Fair 2009

Me and my wonderful friend Emily drove up to Unity Maine this year for the Common Ground Fair. It was fun - so many amazing artists and crafts people. I sometimes wish I lived in Maine just so I could sell my work at that fair. One thing I will say is that I felt everything was cut short at night. The fairs I remember in the past went late with fabulous countra dancing and the sort. This year it seemed like everything ended at 6, and Em and I were a bit bummed about it. We still plan on going back but... next time we plan on bringing our honeys ; )

Freedom the coyote in British Columbia

Forbes and I went to Vancouver BC for our honeymoon. One of the days, went to UBC to check out the botanical gardens and ventured off to find a deserted beach. We hiked through the rain forest to get there and it was so beautiful!! While we were on the beach enjoying the view a coyote appeared out of nowhere to check us out. He did a half circle around us, let me take a few photographs, and was on his way. It was an amazing experience. Neither of us were afraid and we both just stood still and enjoyed the encounter. We decided to name the Coyote Freedom because he seemed so free!

Details, Details, Details. So much went into planning my wedding, but one thing I was really happy with were all the small details that made it so elegant. Here are just a few of the details shots. I had an amazing photographer who really was able to capture all of them. I also chose to have a local landscape/flower designer Nancy Henderson, who had actually also designed all the gardens at the Peirce House where we were married.
I'm getting back into the groove of things and will try to start posting more often. Thank-you to all of you who still check out this blog!

Self Portrait On My Wedding Day

Kirsten and Gabe

This one of the photographs I took of my friends Kirsten and Gabe, the day of their wedding. I had a lot of fun photographing that wedding and look forward to more in the future.
Next up: me and Forbes! ; )

lacking posts

I just want to apologize for the lack of posts. I've been a bit under the weather, planning a wedding, organizing another weddings photos that I shot, and just generally trying to get shit done. Which in this case some how did not include working on this blog. I swear as soon as I get back from my honey moon - this blog will become awesome again.... or maybe sooner you can never tell....

flowers for my birthday

Today I am 25 years old. This is the age I will be married. Two months to this day I will be married. I never like to have high expectations for my birthdays because it's just one more year, but this one is a little different - because this one I'm going to become a wife and a Graham.

Battle Of Bunker Hill Day - Charlestown MA

This is my favorite parade in Boston. There is so much pride in Charlestown and lots of awesome people.

Fireworks?

beached boats and horseshoe crabs

Down in the cape it was low tide, which gave a very interesting view on boats and the sea life. I found the horseshoe crab hanging out - did you know that horseshoe crabs have blue blood? I also found this crab hiding out and he came out for me - I love how you can see his eyes.

The Great Atlantic Ocean

Fully Celebrated Orchestra

This was the CD release party for Fully Celebrated Orchestra's newest album Drunk On The Blood Of The Holy Ones.  It was at a local jazz club in Cambridge MA called Ryles.  I love these guys - and as always had a blast photographing them.
