Marti’s Belly

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

You may have noticed our cooperation with the Showing with Style maternity boutique in Manyunk. We will be featuring a series from the fun and fashion shoot over the next few weeks. All of the expecting moms and models that took part in the project were amazing to work with and we can wait to share photos.
I wanted to introduce the series with photos of an expecting mom dearest to my heart, my sister. I took these when I visited Czech over the summer. I can’t wait to meet my niece Valerie later this year.

mike and his team donate their services to an awesome cause!

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

It was Suzette’s and Joseph’s big day! They were married August 14th 2009 at the Deerfield Country Club, Newark, DE. I decided last year to give back to my community and to the members of the Armed Forces. These are the true “HEROS” that protect us and who risk there lives every day so we can be safe here in the US! Suzette and Joseph both belong to the Delaware Army National Guard. We donated ALL of our services to them along with over a dozen other donating vendors from the Wilmington area. It was a VERY special day! A DREAM come true for them! And they deserve it 100%.

Here she is! Welcome baby Alexa to the world! Congratulations to Craig and Andrea! Alexa was born on 7.17.09 at 6:27 am. This is Andrea and Craig’s second shoot of their mini session series.

A nice late afternoon at the beach with Chelsea and Kevin. We walked around the shops in Lewes and went over to the Cape Henlopen State Park for some sunset shots. Chelsea and Kevin will be getting married on 7.24.2010 at the Rehoboth Beach Country Club-Rehoboth, Delaware. Such a relaxed time it was, the two of them enjoying time with one another. A perfect couple for a beach wedding! Erin and my assistant were so happy to capture these special moments….

Rebecca & Eric at Hagley

Friday, September 4th, 2009

Rebecca and Eric wanted stone walls and water in their photos and decided on Hagley Museum as the location. We had so much fun; so many photo opportunities we hardly left the driveway. Eric and Rebecca will be married at the fabulous Greenville Country Club in October and we can’t wait to document their day.
