New England in May

My cousin got married in NY this past May (congrats, guys!), so we made a trip out of it and visited my hubby’s grandma in Newport, RI and toured Boston.  We had an amazing time, of which I was able to capture some really great shots, which I’m excited to finally be sharing with you here.

Eight are the Days of the Bris - Snip, Snip

Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of sharing in the joy of the bris of my best friend from High School's second baby boy.  This is when a Jewish baby boy is circumcised on the 8th day of life.  Courtesy of Google, here's the most simplified explanation of the ritual I could find: http://www.bethrishon.org/images/Brit_Milah.pdf.

I loved being able to capture the sweetness of this baby, and his warm welcome into their loving family. It was also fun to capture some candid shots of their older son enjoying the occasion.

Let's Get It Started

I've been really enjoying photography and sewing, and I'm ready to share my passions with the world!  So You by Erica Sue works for photography, and Sew You by Erica Sue for sewing!

This weekend we had a visit from hubby's bro and his family.  When the kids get together, it's always a good opportunity to snap some shots.  Here are some favorites!  (Click on any of the images to enlarge.)

I got to play with my new tripod for the last one.  It helped me capture this happy bunch!
