• Shakespeare in the Garden.

The Nantucket Arts Council held a fundraiser for the 4th annual Nantucket Shakespeare Festival at Beverly Hall's Hither Creek Gardens in Madaket last night. The evening included a performance of Twelve Night, singing, fire throwing, and a silent action.

Beverly asked me to photograph the event and create a book for her. I'm guessing it's gonna be a colorful book!!

Let's set the scene:









What an ideal setting for portraits!




Everyone had Shakespeare fever!






Wonder what these oranges are for?



What a bunch of characters!







The crowd watches on as we find out what the peanuts and oranges were for!





A special Happy Birthday wish for this party of 5!



This umbrella alone kept the rain away.



While this trumpet....



...served as a self-portrait opportunity!



The End.

• Truck Fire!

I saw smoke from my backyard about an hour ago and grabbed my camera. A truck was on fire on Nobadeer Farm Rd in Nantucket. The tires were popping one by one, sounding like explosives! I hope everyone got out safely.

Good job Nantucket Fire Department for putting out the fire!

Here's what I saw, yikes!

• Happy Birthday Ava!

My little girl is 3 years old today. She had a blast at her birthday party! Thanks to all the mommies and kids who came!

Ain't she purdy?



I made these penguin cupcakes myself. I'm pretty proud actually! Quite the Martha Stewart moment for me, I must admit.

My little girl is a great model! She had a blast this week on Martha's Vineyard.





Crossing her fingers and making a wish to come back here soon!

What is she hunting?

Ah, worms, of course. Worms. Sheesh.

• Beth + Jimi, Martha's Vineyard Engagement Session.

Beth and Jimi are 2 of my absolute favorite people ever! We all used to live in Killington, VT together and now we all live in warm vacation destinations, weird. Can't wait until their '09 wedding in Costa Rica!






More soon!

• Flying Over the Islands.

A flight from Nantucket to Martha's Vineyard is only 15 minutes. Ava thought she was super cool because she had her own seat!







We came home to this. Yikes!

• Family Vaca: Martha's Vineyard.

My dear friend Beth was visiting the Vineyard (from Santa Barbara) this week with her fiance and their families. Nate, Ava and I hopped over (quite literally) to join them for a few days. Couldn't have come at a better time! It was close to 149 degrees out, but we were fortunate to be lying in a gorgeous pool. Yum. We had a fantastic time. Thanks guys!




















• Kirian's Big Three Oh!

Kirian's orchids. Love them. Need more. Hint hint...



Party at The District in Boston. Some details.






The gal of the hour!



Obligatory self-portraits!

• Happy Anniversary!

Happy 1st Anniversary (ok, it's a few days late...) Brianne and Pete!

• Mast Family, Nantucket Portrait Session

What a beautiful day we had yesterday! My good friends, Joe Mikos and Cory Ann Ellis came over for the day to be tourists and to photograph my family. I can't wait to see how they turn out!

This time of year is great on Nantucket. We spent nearly the whole day outside.

The Mast family took advantage of the fantastic weather for their portrait session at Brant Point. You'd think 5 young ones would be a challenge, but not these kids! They were ridiculously photogenic. Love it!

Here are just a few of my favorites of the day.





*Edited to add one more I just finished editing!

Here's Charlie at Brant Point and Children's Beach today. Check out those big blue eyes!!







• Pamela + John Collings, Nantucket Wedding

Pam and John were married Saturday on the beach at Brant Point. The intimate ceremony officiated by John's dad. The wind was whipping but everyone was all smiles!

















Pam and John stayed at the newly remodeled Veranda House, which, I have to say is gorgeous! I highly recommend taking a peek!
