Wedding - New Bedford

Here are a few photos of some 2nd shooting I did for Jen Leatherwood. It was my last wedding with her this season.
Maggie the bride was incredible, it was pretty cold out but she was willing to do whatever it took because she just really wanted good pictures, and she got them! Make sure you check out Jen's slideshow: http://leatherwoodphotography.com/blog/?p=580

Happy Turkey Day!

I've been trying to squeeze in my kids Xmas pictures for weeks now and just haven't had the opportunity. Here is a quick session we got in today of my two little guys (well I guess they're not so little anymore) before heading to our Thanksgiving lunch. Aren't they so handsome?
Since I'm ALWAYS the one behind the camera and have few pictures with them, I asked my husband to take one....thanks babe! Although, I had just told my 5 year old to stop whining so the expressions aren't ideal :-)

1st annual Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome 5k Walk/Run

So as most of you know I volunteered to shoot the 1st annual Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome 5k Walk/Run last Sunday...what an amazing day.

They had an incredible amount of people attend the event; from avid runners, to children that have been diagnosed with the Beckwith-Wiedemann disease and their families, to some of last season's Biggest Loser contestants from all over the country that came to support the Kruger brothers, to just plain old good-hearted people that came to support a great cause whether they walked, volunteered to help, or were just there for support....then there are those that came to catch a glimpse of the local celebrities :-) Whoever you were it doesn't matter, you contributed to a heart-clenching cause which is to help improve the lives of these children. We'll see you next year!

*Sorry for all you runners who are looking for particular pictures, I had no idea who would be viewing these so I have included them ALL.

5% of the total print sales will be donated to the Beckwith-Wiedemann Foundation

Thanks so much for stopping by my site/blog. Here are a few of the highlights of the day:

Had to put this in here....me w/Mark & Jay Kruger

Congratulations to all that participated in this incredible event!

A warm thank you to the Kruger family and all the "Biggest Losers". It was such and honor and pleasure to document such an outpouring of support....also probably the closest I'll ever get to celebraties :-)

Please come back later in the week for instructions on how to view the event photos.

Thanks!!

New Bedford, MA - Alex & Tiffany's Engagement

Alex & Tiffany have been engaged for a few months, and they're getting married in June 2010. They decided to do the engagement session a bit early so that they could send Save the Date cards to friends and family, as they'll have quite a bit of Alex's family potentially flying in from Florida.

Tiffany is my cousin and I was in my early teens when she was born. Once again I'm dating myself and feeling old, seems to be a reoccurring event lately! I've seen her grown into a responsible, beautiful young women with a great head on her shoulders. We all just adore her......Alex has been around at all our family events for quite a few years, but we've really gotten to know him more this past year. He always seemed like a nice young man who treated Tiffany wonderfully, and has a lot in common w/my husband...CARS and my boys just LOVE climbing all over him when he and Tiffany come over. Not until the engagement session did I really see a softer side of him. Tiffany was all shy and giggly, while Alex was really just, patient, loving and sweet. I could totally see what an amazing relationship they have together. Can't wait for the wedding, thank you and I love you guys!

I'm trying out a new style of slide show in addition to my normal one, please feel free to leave comments on what you prefer. Thanks for reading!

Melanie & Jarrod: So I've known Melanie for a couple of years as she was one of my little guys pre-school teachers...such a sweet person. She told me about her engagement last fall and she's been all smiles ever since! I literally couldn't get her to stop laughing and smiling during the session last week in Downtown, New Bedford. The three of us talked quite a bit of course (in-between the laughing) and Melanie told me she just knew Jarrod was the "one" ever since the beginning. Anyone can definitely see the love these two share, so I am thrilled to be able to capture such special moments for them. They're getting married next April at the beautiful Lindon Place Museum in Bristol, Rhode Island and I wish them both nothing but happiness in the months and years to come.

My first slideshow on my BLOG!!
Please be patient as the slideshow loads. Apparently, I checked off something I shouldn't have while creating it and it takes a bit to load, but considering it took me like 5 hours to finally figure this out, I'M NOT CHANGING THIS ONE!! I think it's worth the wait.

About Brittany: My sweet and adventurous cousin who's making me feel really old as I can't believe she's graduating this year. She's off to be a Veterinarian. Thanks for the fun photo shoot Britt!
