Many, many pics to come soon from all of these events. In the meantime, I will leave you with my favorite recent photo. All of my favorite photos of recent of course are of my favorite subject, Zoey. Here is Linus giving Zoey a kiss attack, as we call them, and Zoey giggling as a result.

I wanted to share some of my favorite personal photos from that trip. The first shot below is a shot of Boston from the duck tour!

Here is apic of me taken by my hubby.

This is my husband looking pensively out the window

Apparently there are attack lobster in Martha’s Vineyard. Who knew?

This shot below totally says “New England” to me.

Traveling in Boston.

Random hail mary shot on the metro in Boston. People riding the subway are always so serious!

Chinatown

Fenway!

My husband has been wanting to see a game at Fenway for pretty much his entire life. His boss out of Providence hooked us up with box seats! Mike, needless to say, was very, very happy. He had the goofiest childlike grin on his face. It was great to see him so excited! And I had a blast too. The game was very eventful – we saw a fight on the field, a few home runs, and a rain delay!

Here’s a shot of Mike and I taken by our waiter.

Love this shot of Fenway right before the skies opened up!

This is my other brother Jeremy, isn’t he cute? Hopefully, he will be next in line for a wedding!

This is my dad, A & M hat and all – my brother is an Aggie. Boo. I kid. Sort of.

I thought it was really funny that they arrived in the trunk of the car.

My handsome husband having a little drink.

Here is my baby brother Brian.

My husband again looking handsome.

I love this shot of the guys – my brother Jeremy is front left and my husband Mike is front right.

My grandparents – aren’t they so cute?!

Self portrait of Mike and I at the reception!

Yes, not the typical place for a bachelorette trip, but we are not typical women! My photographer extraordinaire friends Diana Lott and Stacy Sodolak planned the trip along with my good friend and wedding planner Gina Whittington Wilson, and with the help of our non-wedding industry friend Jenny Isenberg. We had an a-MAINE-zing (Stacy came up with that!) time. The weather was perfect, the hurricane decided to go in the other direction (thank goodness!), and the leaves were just beginning to change. And best of all, there was lots of lobster to be had! I had steamed lobster, lobster caesar salad, lobster risotto, lobster chowder…the list goes on. I heart lobster! Now back to the treadmill!

Jenny (aka Jenny by the book) looking cute!

A Maine self portrait

I am in love with all of the fall colors in Maine!

Stacy took this shot first, and I copied her But I said I would have seen it anyways, she just got there first!

Jenny, Stacy, Gina, and Diana…

Gina’s perfect fall leaf

This is the bay in the town where we stayed, Camden. It was perfect!

We took a sunset cruise (freezing cold!) on this boat, the Appledore.

Gina looking pensive. (and cold!)

Gina trying her first whoopie pie. You can see she loved it!

Mmmm lobster.

So if you come to my home studio for a consultation this is what you might see…Linus and Moo at the back door looking very, very sad…waiting to be let in. I had to take a pic.
