Erin Share

Erin is your typical 'tween, straddling between childhood innocence and the tumultuous teenage years.  It's been a great honor watching her grow and documenting the journey.  Erin is my niece, my brother's daughter.  Although she still indulges my requests to photograph her, I know that will soon change.

To me, these photographs capture her very essence.  She's a girl who loves to sing and dance around the house constantly (and I do mean constantly).   As she continues to grow, her silly smile will be corrected by braces.  For all these reasons, I cherish these photographs of her.

Martha's Vineyard Part II Share

Our second visit to the Vineyard was in June. Despite the rainy weather, we were able to enjoy a few afternoons exploring the island.

Such a sweet face and those ears.

Horses on Martha's Vineyard Share

One of our favorite activities on Martha's Vineyard is photographing the numerous horses that inhabit the island.

Martha's Vineyard Share

We have been blessed with 2 weeks on Martha's Vineyard this year. Our first visit in May included Chris' mum and her husband, who were visiting from England. Although they have been frequent visitors to Boston through the years, it was their first time on the Vineyard. As it does to so many, the island completely captivated them.

Chris' mum, who was raised on the Isle of Wight and the south coast of England, loves the shore. Each day we enjoyed walking on a different beach and searching for shells. The beaches in England have more fossils then shells, but that's another post. Needless to say, perfect shells were highly sought after on our walks. We had particularly good fortune in finding scallop shells which were lovingly wrapped for the journey across the Atlantic.

Here are a few favorite pictures from our adventures.

I just love these rock formations! Seeing one makes me think about the joy it must have brought to the person who created it!

We had South Beach all to ourselves!

Returning home to Menemsha Harbor after a long day. I always think of Jaws. This is where they filmed the sceen of the Orca leaving port to hunt the shark. As we know, only Sheriff Brody returned.

Gay Head Beach, one of our favorite places on the island. Chris and I have a fondness for bobbing in the surf. I try not to think of Jaws but the occasional thought does creep into my mind.

More rock formations, this time on Gay Head.

Play Ball! Share

Patrick is the son of our dear friends Jason and Dari. We've had the great honor of photographing him since he was inutero. When Dari learned that we added vintage baseball uniforms to our collection, she knew the perfect Father's Day gift for Jason.

To our surprise, we were actually able to keep this a secret from Jason!

Patrick doesn't understand all the nuances of the game just yet, but give him time.
