cheers to our 9 years

Nine years ago today in Martha's Vineyard 

Pete and I were married by our dear friend, Susanna. 

How cool is that you ask?  Very!

She spent our wedding week taking polaroid photos and 

composed them into beautiful album.

This is our favorite.

cool camera straps

I just got a new Nikon DSLR camera for my soon-to-be birthday.

I need to give it some style and the way to do that is with a cool strap.

Check these out.

Stardust Silver Camera Strap, Bloom Theory

Leather Camera Strap in Pearl Shimmer, Magpie Accessories UK at Etsy

Border Stripe Canvas Camera Strap, Union

This is what I keep my camera in when I'm shlepping it around without the accessories.  

It's a tough canvas bag and looks pretty too.

Large Zip, Hable Construction

 Happy Mother's Day.

The holiday takes on a whole new meaning when you're a mom.

 My daughter Ruby wore her bright striped dress the other day paired with neon shoes (notice she selected one of each color).

I couldn't resist using the bright colors of an 

artsy downtown Sarasota neighborhood as a backdrop.

How great is the color in the middle of a construction site?

I'm sure she tolerated the photographing longer than usual 

since she had her buddy Sophie with her.

welcome 2012!

Happy New Year!

Lucky me...I got to spend it with my husband and daughter

on Siesta Key Beach in Florida.

Enjoy!

our lovely soiree 8 years today

8 years ago today I was getting ready

for our wedding on Martha's Vineyard.

Place cards strung on a clothes line.

The perfect casual beach house.

Invitations edged in sand.

Save-the-date packets making it easy

for guests to make arrangements.

6 years of working in a florist pays off,

I made my own centerpieces.

Our perfect bridal party: my sister + Pete's 3 kids.

This photo was used in a 'Destination Weddings'

article in Cape Cod Life.

Pete + his girls.

My nephew Jack, our ring bearer

The night was perfect!

We still talk about it.

fabulous photos

My friend Megan (Megan Mlakar Photography) is a great photographer!

She took these photos of our friend's brother's wedding in Chagrin Falls.

They belong in a magazine!
