Rehoboth Beach Family Portraits – Matt & Heather

admin — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 05:06:20 +0000

Last week I headed to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware to take some family photos of Matt, Heather and their two beautiful daughters. After we each made about 10 loops around the main thoroughfare and found parking spots, the fun began! Since I’m based in northern Delaware, I do not get to take many photos on the southern Delaware beaches, so I enjoyed the change of scenery.

Be sure to check out this slideshow to see some more photos from our session.

Dover, Delaware Wedding – Julia & Caleb

Below are some photos from Julia and Caleb’s wedding this past May. You may remember the guestbook album I posted a while back from their engagement photos. Well, they ended up loving the album so much that they couldn’t bear to let anyone write in it! It turned into a regular engagement album.

I hope they loved their wedding photos just as much!

Family Photography in Gibraltar Gardens – Wilmington, Delaware

When my daughter started school last fall, I was a bundle of nerves, but mostly excited and happy for her to experience new things. She is a very social little girl and loves to be around other children. I knew she would have fun making new friends and learning like a sponge, as children have a tendency to do. Little did I know that I too, would make a new friend at her school!

On one of the very first school days I met Crystal. I heard her mentioning that she was headed to the local gym to workout — which is where I was also going to kill some time while my daughter was in school. We ended up going together and were pretty much together every school day since, as we headed to the gym or park to exercise together.

This summer she and her family wrapped up a long chapter and moved away to begin what I know will be some of the most joyful moments of their lives. I will miss my “exercise buddy” this fall when my daughter starts school again, but mostly, I’ll really miss a great friend.

Below are a few photos I took of Crystal and her family at Gibraltar Gardens in Wilmington, Delaware.

Dover, Delaware Wedding Photography Engagement Guestbook: Julia & Caleb

In early April I met Julia and Caleb in Dover, Delaware and we rode around to several interesting locations to take some engagement photos for their wedding guestbook. We had a nice day driving around and stopping at various out of the way places to take photos. When I gave Julia a little sneak peak via Facebook she wrote, “Blonnie—These are sooooo beautiful!!! Wow!! I’m speechless!! Thank you soo much!” I’m so happy she likes them and she seemed equally as happy when she picked up her album today!

Below are the spreads from their wedding day guestbook with the images I created from the day. Stay tuned: soon I’ll post some pictures of the actual album after printing. I know they’re both excited (as am I) for their wedding this coming Saturday!

Delaware Snow

Here are a few photos from the snow we got in Delaware last Saturday. Now we’re due for another wallop tonight and tomorrow!! I can’t imagine what it’s all going to look like!

This is definitely the most snow I’ve ever seen. Growing up in Texas, it was a wonder to just see it falling from the sky, much less actually accumulating! Of course, this is the most snow in one season that everyone else here has ever seen as well – as long as the predictions come true.

The previous record was set in the 1995/1996 winter with a measurement of 65.5 inches and we have already gotten to 56.3 inches this year with the latest prediction estimating another 12-18 inches on its way!!

Isn’t this an amazing snow fort that my husband build with our daughter? She is such a lucky girl to have such a fun (and awesome) Dada!
