I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July I know we did. We spent most of the day hanging out in the pool, then went to the local high school to watch a spectacular fireworks display! They did an amazing job and despite the fact that they changed some of their rules about having a picnic on the field we still had a great time (well except for Grumpy who does not adapt well to change). Here are some pics from our day. Air time! Showing off some mad diving skills courtesy of the YMCA! Word! Grumpy Not so Grumpy. At some point Nana's head turned into a drum set. She's a good sport.

Last weekend I had a great time shooting the ever so talented Amber, and her family. I have "known" Amber for some time but this was the first time I actually got to meet her so it was really fun. She is incredibly talented and I have to admit I am really bummed she lives in Nashville. She is part of A Delightful Day event coordinating team and also has her own design boutique, Sweet Life Designs. If you are a bride and are looking for some kick ass wedding invitation designs, or a business person looking for logo design, or web design that is fun, fresh and colorful you must check her out! Her family had gathered from different parts of the country in Newport for a family wedding. I was so honored that she asked me to photograph them! Thanks for letting me hang out! Here are a few of my favorites. The whole gang. What a nice looking group! The delightful Amber (I know I couldn't help it) Can you believe this is her mom?!?! How gorgeous is she! Yes thats an exclamation not a question :) I loved this moment between her parents. Looking for sand crabs. This one is for Ambers mom.
