Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays to all!

Thank you for a fantastic 2011 full of smiles, fun and laughter.

MSNA Class of 2011

On November 5, 2011 over twenty students in the Master of Science in Nurse Anesthesia program will be donning their black robes and caps (for real this time, not just for the photoshoot!) and taking those final steps to receive their degree.

I was honored to have been asked to photograph the headshots and formal group portraits of the program’s participants. A fabulous group of students who are on their way to taking on the Nurse Anesthesia world!

Congratulations to you all. You rock!

wedding day | york beach, maine

Recently, I captured the momentous wedding day of Jess & Mike on York Beach.

It was an absolutely magnificent day, filled with sunshine, a few clouds, and a light breeze. The ceremony was small with only immediate family attending. It was exactly what they wanted at the picturesque location of York Beach, Maine. I would sit here and type about their undying love and admiration for each other, how every look was one of trust, happiness, and love,  but I’ll let the photo speak for itself :-) Oh how I do love wedding days!

New York – Post update!

As promised, here is a photo from our CIEE event in New York recently. The venue was cozy and intimate – perfect for the group to socialize, ask questions, and get to know each other.

The photo was shot with my Nikon D90 | Sigma 10-20 wide angle lens.

New York…for a day.

On Wednesday, I was asked to photograph an Intern/Trainee Mixer for CIEE. The flight down was beautiful, lasting approximately 55 minutes on a wonderful JetBlue airline – haven’t not flown JetBlue often, I can’t say enough about them, they are like flying internationally on a domestic flight. Who knew domestic airlines still give away multiple beverages (including OJ, Dunkin Donuts Coffee, and water), a free checked luggage piece, AND good snacks? Anyway, this post is not about the wonders of Jet Blue! Really, it’s about New York City!

Our event was held at the Fitzpatrick Grand Central Hotel on their outdoor patio tucked away between multi-story buildings. A fabulous location for our intimate gathering. Before the event began, we wandered around looking for food..decisions, decisions…and I grabbed the shot on the right of a moment in time in NYC  from a street corner while we were debating upon Juniors or a Turkish Delight across the street (the Turkish cuisine won).

Before we knew it, the event was beginning and we were rolling. It was a wonderful turnout of our Interns from all over the greater NYC area. The photos will be posted on the CIEE Intern/Trainee Facebook Page soon.

After a few hours of many smiles, new friendships, socializing, and a thunderstorm, we were packing up to make our way back home to PWM.
