What a way to kick off 2012! My first photo session of the year was at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for Flashes of Hope. This is my 3rd year volunteering with this organization (you can view the past 2 years here and here), and each time I look more and more forward to it. These kids are just so inspiring …

“Do you believe I got Happy New Year’d today? It’s February!” “I once got Happy New Year’d in March.” “It’s disgusting.” “It’s pathetic.” – Elaine and Jerry, in Seinfeld Well I am not quite THAT late, but a week into the new year might be considered a tad tardy on the Happy New Year wishes.

The number one question people asked me when I said I was going to Alaska was “Why Alaska?” Actually, it was more like “Alaska? WHY?” There were a few key things that played into the decision to visit Alaska: 1 – Go somewhere I’ve never been. 2 – Go somewhere remote and beautiful where we might have epiphanies about the …

Thanks to everyone who submitted entries for the FEASTIVAL ticket contest! Reading the submissions was kind of like going grocery shopping on an empty stomach…I wanted to eat everything that was mentioned on the page! To eliminate any biases I might have had toward the submissions (my biggest problem is that I liked them ALL), I solicited the help of …

I’m not quite sure it gets more fun than this, especially if you are a Phillies fan (like moi – I grew up with the Phillies practically in my back yard). When Sara and Ralph suggested doing their engagement session at Citizens Bank Park, I was ALL OVER IT. Did you know that if you ask really nicely, the fine …

Some things are just meant to be. Little did I know earlier this year when I went out to dinner at Pub & Kitchen that I’d walk out of there with a new wedding client! Beth is a server at the restaurant, and my friend Karine was admiring her engagement ring (see the gorgeous blingiddy bling below!). Karine asked if …

Last night I watched the season finale of Glee (which, by the way, was filled with so much cheese that I just might be lactose intolerant). Anyway, in the episode, the Glee kids go to New York City for a national competition, and it got me thinking about the big apple and how it’s portrayed in movies and TV shows. …

One of my favorite days of the year – photographing kiddies for Flashes of Hope at CHOP!! This year was a slightly different experience than last year. This time we were in the inpatient unit. While some of the children were able to come out and get photographed in my little makeshift studio, many of them couldn’t leave their hospital …

I was having a conversation with my blog recently, it went something like this: Blog to me: I miss you Me to blog: Me too. I miss you too. Blog: What is it? Is it Facebook, Twitter…did you get a boyfriend? Me: No…I’m just being dumb. Ok but seriously, the lack of blogging has to stop. My only excuse is …
