Photo Alert

It was such a beautiful day and I learned so much.

Since it is summer break for this teacher, I have been dappling more in the photography world. This past weekend I had the pleasure of shooting my first official wedding with my cousin in New York. It was such a great experience and I learned a lot while I was up there on the job.

There are so many beautiful shots, but here's a quick preview of just a few.

More wedding coverage coming soon on the photography blog...let me know what you think!

I am thrilled with the results and I got to use my new camera...the Nikon D90 and my new watermark! Next project...redesign the photography blog.

Baby Tommy was such a cutie!

Adam's 1st Triathlon

Adam recently completed his first triathlon in Hampton.

I went along to cheer him on and document the event.

Getting ready to start the race.

Ready to race in his special triathlon suit with his official race number.

Starting the swim...I believe it was a 1000 meter swim in open water...the current was pretty crazy!

The swimmers seemed so far out in the bay!

Coming in from the swim!

Making his first transition...each person had their own transition area.

Leaving for the 21 mile bike ride.

Returning from the bike portion.

Adam beginning the final leg of his race...an 8k run (5 miles).

My first sight of him coming towards the finish line!

Crossing the finish...WAY TO GO ADAM!

He finished the race in just under three hours, which was awesome for his first time out. I was so proud of him because I know how hard he'd been training as he worked towards this goal.

I can't wait to cheer you on at the next race!

Reagan's 1st Birthday Party

Reagan is one of the CUTEST pseudo nieces I could possibly have and she just turned one a few weeks back. Laura and TJ threw her 1st birthday party at Redwing park and fun times were had by all. I especially enjoyed watching her dig into her first birthday cupcake!
