So this week I had the chance to shoot two couples that are due to give birth in the next two weeks.  They were both super excited, as was I.  To see my clients families starting after I shoot their weddings is always a cool experience for me.

So for Christmas 2008 I spent time with both sides of my family. Both sides now have a bunch of little rascals running around now and seeing them brought back lots of memories of when I was a kid. Below are some of my favorite shots from Christmas eve and day. Here is AJ! The 3 amigos. I used to play with these same kind of toys when I was a kid. The 80's are back! No one ever believes me about how much food we eat at this time of year, so below is just half of one of the tables from christmas. And of course no holiday is complete with out a least one or two card games. My godson Salvator and his mom Lynn.

So I just got back from spending 4 days in America's sin city. I went to get away from everything, to get some warm weather, try new foods and relax. I don't gamble, but I do enjoy sightseeing and so I walked up and down the strip many times, going to almost every hotel/casino/mall and eating at many restaurants and bars. It was great. I decided not to take all my gear with me, as I wanted to give my shoulders a break, so all my photos were taken on my cell phone, the iphone. They are below! My hotel, the Mirage, home to the Beetles Revolution club, a really fun place. One of the Beetles go-go dancers! Caesar's Palace Forum shops, it was so huge and cool! The amazing Zoltar! You should all know what big movie this is from. Yes that was a clue. I went to Pure inside of Caesars, and than inside Pure was the Pussycat Doll's lounge. They did some really cool singing and dancing, in a vegas kind of way. It was a really different type of nightclub from what we have here on the east coast! At the body English night club at the Hard Rock Hotel, at 4 a.m. A shark at Mandalay Bay flying over my head. Me at Planet Hollywood, and coming home.

I am so sorry for posting this so late, I have just been burried up to my head keeping up with everyone's holiday print orders and wedding print sets! Anyway on Halloween my cousins stopped by with their kids to show us their outfits and get some candy. Below are some images of Joey the firefigher, Catherine the fairy and AJ the power ranger. They were all really cute and happy to get all their candy.

This Sunday after a great Saturday wedding I met up late in the day with Jessica and Aaron in Gloucester to take their engagement photos. Jessica and Arron are really ocean lovers, I believe they sail, and so they wanted the ocean in their photos. I wanted to do the shoot in high fashion style and had been discussing some ideas with Jessica and Aaron, they agreed and so wore some couture outfits. Jessica brought several jackets too, so we had options for all the shots. It was great. We also stopped at a old movie set (a barn from the early 90's film Blown Away) on some ocean front property that has been rotting for the better part of two decades. It was great, there was lots of color and contrast with the rotting building. What really made by day though was after the shoot, Jessica and Aaron invited me into Jessica's home to have some vino and appetizers with her family. I had a great time and learned a lot about the couple. I thank you! Below are some of my favorite shots.
